For example, the hydrophobicity of GUMBOS can be adjusted by modifying the counterion or by incorporating nanomaterials through a simple reprecipitation method in water.\u00a0Participants involved in this project will develop GUMBOS with magnetic properties and apply them for the extraction and subsequent analysis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from environmental samples. The goal is to reduce the need for large volumes of solvents while effectively extracting these organic contaminants from water samples. By leveraging the unique properties of these materials, the project seeks to improve extraction efficiency, minimize environmental impact, and advance sensing technologies. GUMBOS will be synthetized (combining DES, Fe<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>3<\/sub>, and natural polymers such as cellulose, chitosan, chitin or alginate<sup>13<\/sup>) and then characterized (FT-IR, NMR, Ko\/w, etc) to link the structure of the components, with the properties of the resulting materials and the subsequent analytical performance. To further enrich their research experience, participants will also receive hands-on training on multiple instrumental techniques (cheromatography, MS, etc.), data collection and analysis.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f6442c e-flex e-con-boxed mk-enable-fade-animation-none mk-sticky-column-false mk-sticky-column-disable-tablet e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6f6442c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;mk-animation-effect&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;mk_ext_is_sticky&quot;:&quot;false&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ceafdc7 mk-enable-fade-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"ceafdc7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;mk-animation-effect&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;mk_ext_is_infinite&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;mk_ext_is_scrollme&quot;:&quot;false&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-910ce18 e-flex e-con-boxed mk-enable-fade-animation-none mk-sticky-column-false mk-sticky-column-disable-tablet e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"910ce18\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;mk-animation-effect&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;mk_ext_is_sticky&quot;:&quot;false&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a2c3691 e-con-full e-flex mk-enable-fade-animation-none mk-sticky-column-false mk-sticky-column-disable-tablet e-con e-child\" data-id=\"a2c3691\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;mk-animation-effect&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;mk_ext_is_sticky&quot;:&quot;false&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-434fd54 mk-enable-fade-animation-none elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"434fd54\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;mk-animation-effect&quot;:&quot;none&quot;,&quot;mk_ext_is_infinite&quot;:&quot;false&quot;,&quot;mk_ext_is_scrollme&quot;:&quot;false&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"768\" data-src=\"https:\/\/scienceweb.clemson.edu\/uacl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/11\/rocio_perez.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-14739 lazyload\" alt=\"rocio perez\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/scienceweb.clemson.edu\/uacl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/11\/rocio_perez.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/scienceweb.clemson.edu\/uacl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/11\/rocio_perez-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/scienceweb.clemson.edu\/uacl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/11\/rocio_perez-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/scienceweb.clemson.edu\/uacl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/11\/rocio_perez-105x105.jpeg 105w, https:\/\/scienceweb.clemson.edu\/uacl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2025\/11\/rocio_perez-750x750.jpeg 750w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px;
