Fatema Wahida, Christopher Crain and Daniele Paradiso have presented at the last ACS National Meeting in Washington, D.C. The abstracts had titles: “Comparative thermodynamic and modeling study of the adsorption of cyclopentane and cyclohexane on MgO(100), hBN and graphite basal planes” (F. Wahida, oral presentation); “Investigation of water interactions with silk using INS” (C. Crain, oral presentation); “Investigation of the adsorption properties of dipeptides: A thermodynamic, inelastic neutron scattering and modeling study” (D. Paradiso, oral presentation); “Preparation of pure and decorated metal oxide materials for energy applications using novel physical deposition methods and their characterization” (D. Paradiso, poster session).
