Spring 2013
Electrografting permits bonding of an organic film to a conductive substrate. It is therefore important to control the formation of organic films as best as possible and to understand the linkage between the organic film and the substrate as best as possible. This work explores electrografting of...

Fabrication and testing of surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy substrates for the detection of biomolecules
DownloadSpring 2014
Biosensing involves the detection of analytes using biological elements as receptor agents for the specific binding of molecules to a surface. Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS), a surface-sensitive vibrational spectroscopy technique used to amplify Raman signals, provides unique...

Morphology control and localized surface plasmon resonance in glancing angle deposited films
DownloadFall 2010
This research investigates an extension of the glancing angle deposition (GLAD) technique and a biosensing application of films produced by GLAD. The extension to GLAD, called phi-sweep (PS), improves column isolation compared to films grown by traditional GLAD (TG) as well as modifies the column...

Spring 2018
Small-molecule metabolites (MW < 1,000 Da) are now emerging as an important type of biomarkers, thanks to the rapid development of systems biology such as metabolomics. Compared to nucleic acids and protein, metabolite is closer to the phenotype. Rapid detection and quantification of metabolites...
