Fabrication of Bismuth Trioxide Nanoparticles for Gas-Generators Application

Luss D., Martirosyan K.S., Vicent A., Wang L., University of Houston, US

Nanoenergetic materials release significant amount of energy at a higher rate and have a potential for various military applications. These systems lead to a fast propagation of a reaction front through the solid reactant mixtures. [...]

Micro-Retroreflectors in Immunoassays and Biosensors

Atmar R.L., Cacao E., Kemper S.M., Knoop J.D., Ruchhoeft P., Sherlock T., Willson R.C., University of Houston, US

Many current bioanalytical and diagnostic methods rely on labeling the species of interest and specialized detection equipment to monitor the label. Common techniques suffer from signal loss or degradation and require the use of equipment [...]

Transport Properties For Carbon Nanotubes Under Hydrostatic Pressure

Chen F., Chu C.W., Stokes K.L., Wang H., Xue Y.Y., University of Houston, US

Multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) were mixed with polystyrene (PS) by 20 wt%, which is close to the percolation threshold. Temperature (T) dependence of Seebeck coefficient (S) and resistance (R) for the sample (MWNT-PS) were measured [...]
