Investigating Modified Oligonucleotides as Robust, Programmable Release Agents

Eze N., Tohver Milam V., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

While LNA has been examined as a therapeutic agent in various antisense scenarios, we are exploring LNA as a programmable biomaterials assembly and disassembly tool under isothermal conditions. To drive isothermal disassembly of LNA-linked objects, [...]

Impedance and Dielectric Spectroscopy of Nanoparticulate Films and Composites

Gerhardt R.A., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

This paper will describe the ways in which one can use impedance and dielectric spectroscopy for characterizing nanoparticulate thin films and composites. This technique is especially useful for these types of materials because it is [...]

Experimental Determination of Conduction and Valence Bands of Semiconductor Nanoparticles using Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy

Chen Y., Zhang W., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

Determination of the band gaps (Eg), positions of conduction and valence bands (Ev and Ec) is critical for the understanding of many photochemical processes (e.g., photocatalyst synthesis for decomposing organic compounds or splitting water for [...]

Lead Frame Package of MEMS Devices using Wafer-level, Air-gap Structures

Bidstrup Allen S.A., Fritz N., Kohl P.A., Saha R., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

This research looks at using a polymer Air-gap structures as a cost efficient method of wafer and chip level packaging MEMS devices for a wide range of applications. The presentation will describe how this style [...]

Renewable Energy Strategies for non-RPS States

Fleming S., Hill B., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

Oral presentation. Renewable energy can succeed in non-RPS states. Second generation renewable fuels offer a viable market beachhead for the introduction and development of renewable energy businesses in non-RPS states, particularly the Southeastern United States. [...]

Evidence of the Existence of Complete Phononic Band Gaps in Phononic Crystal Plates

Adibi A., Eftekhar A.A., Hunt W.D., Khelif A., Mohammadi S., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

We show, by measuring the transmission through a phononic crystal (PC) plate, the evidence of the existence of large phononic band gaps (PBGs) in two-dimensional PCs made by a hexagonal (honeycomb) array of holes etched [...]

Fabrication of a Real-Time Reactive Ion Etching Resonant Sensor Using a Low Temperature Sacrificial Polymer

Joseph P.J., May G.S, Morris B.G., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

This paper presents a sacrificial layer process using a low temperature polymer as a sacrificial material for fabricating a surface micromachined in-situ reactive ion etching (RIE) resonant sensor. The sensor monitors film thickness and etch [...]

Efficient DSMC Modeling Techniques for Micro/Nano Gas Flows

Masters N., Ye W., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

An efficient DSMC technique for modeling of low-speed gas flows has been developed. THis technique greatly reduces the inherent DSMC noise and thus is suitable for modeling micro/nano gas flows whose typical velocities are below [...]

Recoverable and Recyclable Catalysts for Multi-Step Reaction Networks

Gill C.S., Jones C.W., Phan N.T.S., Zhang Z.J., Georgia Institute of Technology, US

Cascade reactions involve multiple catalysts promoting multiple reactions in a single vessel. However, these one-pot reactions generally yield a mixture of non-separable catalysts. Our research demonstrates a new approach in chemical catalysis through the use [...]
