Master of Chemical Sciences Capstone Projects
The MCS Capstone is an independent research project that integrates what the student has learned in the program and contributes to the advancement of Chemistry. If you are a MCS graduate and would like to have your capstone project uploaded to this site, please submit your capstone. Your decision to upload the document will serve as your agreement to the terms, both for individual authors and multiple authors. If you have a question about this collection, please contact Ana-Rita Mayol-Cabassa.
