Professor Robert Bachman co-authored a critical review entitled “Use of Organic Precursors and Graphenes in the Controlled Synthesis of Carbon-Containing Nanomaterials for Energy Storage and Conversion”.
Erin Brahm (Chemistry '13), Hali Gipson (Biochemistry '13), Maggie Hudson (Chemistry '14), Asmita Shrestha (Chemistry '14), and Scott Ward (Biochemistry '13) presented the research they have conducted in conjunction with faculty in the Chemistry Department at the 2012 Southeast Regional Meeting of the American Chemical Society, which was held November 14-17 in Raleigh, NC.
A.J. Zucchero (C’04), Jamie Robinson (C’10) and Prof. Robert Bachman have published a paper entitled “General Approach to Low-Molecular-Weight Metallogellators via Coordination-Induced Gelation of an L-Glutamate-Based Lipid” in Langmuir (2012, 28, 27-30). The paper reports the Bachman group’s initial foray into a new area of research. The focus of the work was the synthesis of a new class of molecules capable of both binding metal atoms and forming gels, a class of materials consisting of a liquid immobilized by a small amount of a gelling agent (Jello is a well-known example). The materials reported by Bachman and his students may find use in separation of metal ions from solution or catalysis.
The Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) has published an article co-authored by Rob Bachman, Chelsea Pyle (C'08) and Margaret Anne Gray (C'09).
