Surface Study of Nickel Phosphide and Cobalt Sulfide Nanoparticles for Heterogeneous Catalysis
(2017-08-24)
Compound metal nanoparticles have a large surface area-to-volume ratio, a high concentration of low coordination sites, and surface vacancies that give rise to properties favorable for heterogeneous catalytic processes. ...
Studying and Controlling Order Within Nanoparticle Monolayers Fabricated Through Electrophoretic Deposition
(2013-07-15)
Electrophoretic deposition (EPD) is introduced in a new light: as a process for the fabrication nanoparticle monolayers (NPMs).Using EPD, NPMs are fabricated from a variety of different types of NPs such as iron oxide, ...
Synthesis and Application of Nanoparticles: From Materials to Biology
(2009-01-26)
The following dissertation is dedicated to the task of better understanding of the relationship between biology and nanomaterials. Specifically, how to apply biology in ways that will affect and influence nanomaterials, ...
Scalable Pathogen Extraction Platform for the Treatment of Blood-borne Infections
(2017-03-31)
Sepsis is a life threatening syndrome caused by infection, affecting over 1 million Americans per year and accounting for over 250,000 deaths annually. Treatment of sepsis relies on appropriate antibiotic therapy targeted ...
Nanoparticles as the sole building blocks of macroscopic solids
(2010-04-26)
Colloidal nanoparticles in an assortment of shapes (e.g., spherical, rod-like, tube-like, sheet-like) have been the focus of far-reaching research pursuits due to their attractive material-dependent and size-dependent ...

Fabrication, Characterization, and Applications of Porous Silicon Metal-Oxide Nanocomposites
(2019-04-03)
Anodically etched porous silicon, which is characterized by aligned cylindrical pores in a silicon matrix, is an attractive material for applications in optics, energy, electronics, sensing, and biology. The porous silicon ...
Molecular recognition based agglomeration of quantum dot bioconjugates for multiplexed antigen detection
(2008-12-06)
Sensitive and quantitative detection of proteomic biomarker panels is expected to significantly improve early diagnosis and therapy monitoring for cancers and other diseases. We developed a novel in-vitro diagnostics ...
Development, Optimization and Evaluation of Tumor-Specific Nanosponge Drug Delivery Systems as Chemotherapeutics
(2014-12-03)
Current chemotherapeutic treatments for cancer utilize systemic administration of cytotoxic drugs and produce many side effects in healthy tissues, making optimal treatment of cancer hard to achieve. Tumor targeted ...
Coherent acoustic phonons in metal/dielectric superlattices
(2009-11-05)
Pulsed infrared laser annealing experiments on metal implanted
dielectric matrices were performed, using a free electron laser as a
source of infrared radiation at 8 and 9 *m wavelengths. This was
the first study where ...
