Development of Plasmonics-active Nanoconstructs for Targeting, Tracking, and Delivery in Single Cells

Gregas, Molly K. (2010)

<p>Although various proof-of-concept studies have demonstrated the eventual potential of a multifunctional SERS-active metallic nanostructures for biological applications such as single cell analysis/measurement and drug ...
Plasmonic Gallium Nanoparticles -- Attributes and Applications

Wu, Pae (2009)

<p>Expanding the role of plasmonics in tomorrow's technology requires a broader knowledge base from which to develop such applications today. Several limitations to the current plasmonics field limit progress to incremental ...
The Role of Sulfhydryl-Containing Low Molecular Weight Ligands for the Environmental Fate of Zinc Sulfide and Metallic Silver Nanoparticles

Gondikas, Andreas Panagiotis (2012)

<p>Nanomaterials often exhibit enhanced reactivity relative to their larger colloidal counterparts because of the high specific surface area and number of imperfections on the crystal lattice at the nanoscale. Management ...
