The Perspective Applications of Graphene Oxide in the Construction Building Materials

Lu Z.Y., Li Z.J., Ma H.Y., the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, HK

With the rapid development of the infrastructure, Portland cement has widely been used for building and construction. High performance cement and concrete is urgently needed to satisfy the high-rise buildings, marine tunnel and cross-sea bridges. [...]

A highly sensitive fluorescent immunoassay based on avidin labeled nanocrystals

Sin K-K, Chan C.P-Y, Pang T-H, Seydack M., Renneberg R., the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, HK

Nanocrystals of the fluorogenic precursor fluorescein diacetate (FDA) were applied as labels to enhance assay sensitivity in our previous studies. Each FDA nanocrystal can be converted into ~2.6 x 106 fluorescein molecules, which is useful [...]

Self-assembled Polymer Nanocylinders as Template for Nanoporous Metal Oxide Films

Dong O., Yao N., Yeung K.L., the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, CN

A novel simple method to fabricate high-density and large-area polymer nanopillars on silicon wafer. This method is versatile and can be applied to pattern a wide variety of polymer thin film materials with various proprieties [...]

Preparation of Zeolite Microspheres and their Application in Biology

Wong L.W., Yeung K.L., the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, CN

The potential use of zeolite hollow microspheres in biological studies was illustrated in the study of formation of neuromuscular junction (NMJ). The hollow zeolite microspheres carry and locally deliver signalling molecules, thus mimicking the in [...]
