Studies on the Toxicity, Bioaccumulation and Biopersistence of Model and Commercial Chemical Mechanical Planarization Slurries with Daphnia Magna
(2018-08)
Nanoparticle (NP) abrasives are components of chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) slurries used to polish wafers of semiconducting materials such as silicon. The semiconductor industry is interested in understanding ...
Catalase Immobilization in Wrinkled Mesoporous Silica Nanoparticles
(2018-05)
Wrinkled mesoporous silica (WMS) has been shown to be a promising material for enzyme
immobilization. The WMS possesses a unique wrinkled structure with conical shaped pores which
radiate from the center to the surface ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Chlorhexidine-Containing Polymeric Trilayered Nanoparticle for Root Canal Treatment
(2017-05)
Disinfection during a root canal treatment is limited due to anatomical complexities. Better carrier systems of antimicrobial agents are needed to ensure efficient bacteria eradication. Block copolymer nanoparticles have ...
Renal Clearable Luminescent Gold Nanoparticles for In-Vitro Bioimaging
(2017-05)
Renal clearable fluorescent gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) have potential to become tumor imaging and drug delivery agents because of their minimized accumulation in the body. However, they cannot actively target tumor receptors ...
Developing a Drug Delivery and Imaging System on a Virus-Like Particle Platform
(2018-08)
Nanoparticle based therapeutics have been proved to improve therapeutic efficacy and reduce the off-target toxicity. However, poor monodispersity and long term bioaccumulation toxicity have been the obstacles for the ...
Fabrication of Core-Shell Bio-Nanocomposites via Biomimetic Mineralization of Metal Organic Frameworks
(2018-08)
Biomineralization is one of the nature-owned masteries that the organisms have exploited for millions of years to produce organic-inorganic hybrid materials with highly customized compositions, microstructures, morphologies ...
Design of Polylactones for Drug Delivery
(2018-07-30)
Cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide and has motivated researchers to look for
better and more promising treatments than surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. The use
of chemo and radiation therapy ...
Emerging Classes of Smart Materials: Organic Single Crystals to Biological Nano Particles
(2018-08)
Stimuli responsive materials, also known as “smart” materials, are capable of altering their
properties in a controllable fashion in response to external stimuli. While most reported smart
materials are based on synthetic ...
Virus-Like Particle Qβ : a Scaffold for Imaging and Plasmonic Gold Nanoparticles
(2020-08)
Nanoparticles, upon their introduction, seemed to be the key to solving many issues surrounding
human illness, however, poor control of nanoparticle size distribution, long-term bioaccumulation,
and toxicity are obstacles ...
Prevention of Physical Aging within Carbon Molecular Sieve Membranes for Gas Separations
(2020-08)
Carbon molecular sieve membranes (CMSMs) are a subclass of porous materials with the ability
to perform molecular sieving. Controlling the jump lengths from one pore to another allows for
enhanced permselectivity of such ...
