Human Plasma Adsorption to Biomaterials: Fundamental Level Chemical Modifications and Their Effects on Biocompatibility
DownloadFall 2017
The non-specific adsorption of proteins to biomaterials is a process that begins instantly upon implantation and results in the formation of a protein-rich layer coating the biomaterial surface. The consequences of this complex phenomenon are far-reaching and may affect both the biomaterial...

Thakur, Ujwal K., Zeng, Sheng, Kumar, Pawan, Patel, Sahil, Kisslinger, Ryan, Zhang, Yun, Kar, Piyush, Goswami, Ankur, Thundat, Thomas, Meldrum, Alkiviathes, Shankar, Karthik
While vertically oriented metal oxide nanowires have been intensely researched for use as electron transport layers (ETLs) in halide perovskite solar cells (HPSCs), horizontal nanowires (oriented roughly parallel to the substrate) have received much less attention despite their higher photonic...

Optimizing rooftop solar PV systems in urban regions considering economic and environmental aspects
DownloadFall 2022
In recent years, utilization of photovoltaic (PV) solar systems in built-up regions have received more attention due to global warming issues and the significance of sustainable development. The rooftops of buildings are considered highly suitable for installing PV modules to harvest solar energy...

Terahertz spectroscopy is a powerful non-contact technique to study the optical and electric properties of materials at sub-picosecond time scales. In this study, ultrafast time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy was performed on both silicon-on-sapphire (SOS) and iron pyrite (FeS2) nano-crystalline...
