Synthesis, Characterization and Biological Studies of the Phospholipid Coated Gold Nanoparticles (GNPs)
DownloadFall 2013
Gold nanoparticles (GNPs) have been applied as diagnostic and therapeutic agents because they can be targeted, localized, and be heated to cause cell death. However, their use has been limited by their relatively low biocompatibility. In this work, we coated the GNPs surface by a biocompatible...

The elements of Group 14 show an extensive range of chemical behaviors. Lying at the boundary between metals and non-metals, some members of Group 14, namely silicon and germanium, are intermediate in their properties. These semiconductors are extremely important in science and technology. Si,...

Synthesis, Surface Functionalization of Germanium Nanoparticles, and Their Application in Polymer Hybrid Solar Cells
DownloadSpring 2020
Germanium nanoparticles (GeNPs) have immense potential in various applications, such as opto-electronics, batteries, bioimaging, etc. Germanium has a small band gap (0.67 eV in bulk), large exciton Bohr radius (~24 nm), high absorption coefficient (ca. 2.0 × 105 cm 1 at 2 eV), and high carrier...

As of 2016, the global annual production of plastic was 330 million metric tonnes (Plastics Europe, 2017). This staggering number is expected to double over the next 20 years as consumption increases (Plastics Europe, 2017; Lebreton et al., 2019). Less than half of the plastic produced reaches a...

The Influence of Specific Ions and System Architecture on the Recognition and Reactivity of Two Charged Materials: DNA-Modified Gold Nanoparticle Aggregates and Planar Silica
DownloadFall 2014
DNA functionalized gold nanoparticles (GNP–DNA) offer simple colorimetric nucleic acid sensing with high selectivity and sensitivity. Consequently, they are promising in genetic profiling, disease diagnostics, and forensic applications. In the presence of a target nucleic acid, GNP–DNA forms...

Uptake of waterborne selenite, and its toxic effects, in the water flea (Daphnia magna), Westslope cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii lewisi) and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)
DownloadSpring 2024
Selenium is an essential element, playing an important role in many physiological processes. However, it possesses a narrow margin between essentiality and toxicity. In aquatic systems, selenium is increasingly identified as a trace element of major concern with levels exceeding regulatory...

Spring 2021
Emulsion flooding and heavy oil recovery by in-situ emulsion formation have been reported to show great potential in enhancing heavy oil recovery. Emulsion stability is the key issue controlling the success of this process; conventionally, surfactants were used to facilitate emulsification and...
