Reclaimed Laminate Waste as Novel, Heat Transfer Enhancing, Encapsulation for Long-term PCM Heat Storage

Desgrosseilliers L., Groulx D., White M.A., Dalhousie University, CA

The research has explored a use for Tetra pack waste, while addressing an energy storage need. One class of phase change materials (PCMs) for low temperature heat storage, called supercooled salt hydrates, produces a room [...]

EGF conjugated gold and silver nanoparticles for imaging EGFR over-expressing cells

Hewitt K.C., Lucas L.J., Dalhousie University, CA

Purpose: To create and validate a novel SERS-based nanoprobe for optical imaging of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR). Experimental Design: Gold and silver nanoparticles (Au/AgNPs) were synthesized and coupled to epidermal growth factor (EGF) [...]
