Assembly of Highly Asymmetric Genetically-Encoded Amphiphiles for Thermally Targeted Delivery of Therapeutics
(2013)Traditional small molecule chemotherapeutics show limited effectiveness in the clinic as their poor pharmacokinetics lead to rapid clearance from circulation and their exposure to off-target tissues results in dose-limiting ... -
Characterization of Bacterially Precipitated Cadmium Sulfide Nanoparticles for Photoelectrochemical Applications
(2015)Cadmium sulfide (CdS) is one of the most commonly used II/VI semiconductor materials because of its electron energy band edge positions. CdS nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in applications such as photodegradation of ... -
Development of Plasmonic Nanoplatforms for Diagnostics, Therapy, and Sensing
(2016)Recent advances in nanotechnology have led to the application of nanoparticles in a wide variety of fields. In the field of nanomedicine, there is great emphasis on combining diagnostic and therapeutic modalities into a ... -
Development of Plasmonics-active Nanoconstructs for Targeting, Tracking, and Delivery in Single Cells
(2010)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 delivery, ... -
Photoacoustic tomography: principles and advances.
Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) is an emerging imaging modality that shows great potential for preclinical research and clinical practice. As a hybrid technique, PAT is based on the acoustic detection of optical absorption ... -
Plasmonic Gallium Nanoparticles -- Attributes and Applications
(2009)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 ... -
Self-assembly of polymer-grafted anisotropic nanoparticles
(2021)While anisotropic nanoparticles provide unique building blocks for self-assembling useful nanodevices and nanomaterials ranging from plasmonic sensors to chiral metamaterials, controlling their self-assembly process to achieve ... -
Size-dependent Fate of Nanoceria in Large Scale Simulated Wetlands
(2017)Nanoceria, or cerium (IV) oxide, is used widely in industry for its catalytic and physical properties, thus its release into the environment is eminent. The environmental risk of nanoceria is still unclear, but understanding ... -
The Role of Sulfhydryl-Containing Low Molecular Weight Ligands for the Environmental Fate of Zinc Sulfide and Metallic Silver Nanoparticles
(2012)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 of ...
