Chemoradiotherapeutic Wrinkled Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for use in Cancer Therapy
(Amer Inst Physics, 2014-10-30)Over the last decade, the development and application of nanotechnology in cancer detection, diagnosis, and therapy have been widely reported. Engineering of vehicles for the simultaneous delivery of chemo-and radiotherapeutics ... -
Novel Binder-Free Electrode Materials for Supercapacitors Utilizing High Surface Area Carbon Nanofibers Derived from Immiscible Polymer Blends of PBI/6FDA-DAM:DABA
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2018-06-01)Carbon nanofibers with high surface area have become promising electrode materials for supercapacitors because of their importance in increasing energy density. In this study, a high free volume polymer, 6FDA-DAM:DABA ... -
Nanocast Carbon Microsphere Flowers from a Lanthanum-Based Template
(Elsevier Science B.V., 2018-09-11)Hollow carbon microsphere flowers were nanocast from glucose, acrylamide, and acetylene sources. Carbon growth was catalyzed by a lanthanum graft copolymer template using wet acetylene. The resulting spherical shape is ... -
Synthesis and Characterization of a Holmium 2,2′-bipyridine-5,5′-dicarboxylate MOF: Towards the Construction of a Suitable Holmium Carrier
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019-02)Based on the 2,2′-bipyridine-5,5′-dicarboxylic acid ligand (H₂bpdc), a new metal-organic framework using holmium as the coordinating metal site was synthesized through a solvothermal reaction. The 3D compound {[Ho₂(bPdc)₃(DMF)₂] ... -
Biphenyl-Bridged Wrinkled Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles for Radioactive Iodine Capture
(Cambridge Univ Press, 2019-02-11)The capture of volatile radioactive iodine-129 is an important process for nuclear fission. Biphenyl-bridged wrinkled mesoporous silica shows similar performance for iodine sequestration to commercial Ag-mordenite and ... -
Transition from a 1D Coordination Polymer to a Mixed-Linker Layered MOF
A novel copper(II) metal-organic framework (MOF) has been synthesized by modifying the reaction conditions of a 1D coordination polymer. The 1D polymer is built by the coordination between copper and 2,2′-(1H-imidazole-4 ... -
Fabrication and Characterization of Aging Resistant Carbon Molecular Sieve Membranes for C₃ Separation Using High Molecular Weight Crosslinkable Polyimide, 6FDA-DABA
Although propylene/propane separation remains a challenge for industrial processes, carbon molecular sieve membranes (CMSMs) have the potential to replace traditional separation methods. A high molecular weight crosslinkable ...
