Biocompatible Nanotubes as potential Nanocarriers for hydrophobic model food and drug bioactives

Sadeghi R., Kalbasi A., Moosavi-Movahedi A.A., Emam-Jomeh Z., Razavi S.H., Karimi M., Kokini J., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US
Biocompatible nanotubes (NTs) have great potential applications especially in food and drug delivery. The NTs are very interesting because they have uniform wall thickness, two open ends, different interior and exterior layers, different size and [...]

Preparation of BSA Nanoparticles by desolvation method as a delivery system for nutraceuticals

Sadeghi R., Kalbasi A., Moosavi-Movahedi A.A., Karimi M., Kokini J., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US
The production of biocompatible nanoparticles (NPs) is one the most attractive research areas in food and drug sciences. The more the ratio of desolvating agents the bigger the particles size. The best ratio for ethanol, [...]

Probing the Distribution of Gliadin in Dough and Baked Bread Using Conjugated Quantum Dots as a Labeling Tool

Ansari S., Kokini J., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US
Nowadays quantum dots (QDs) technology is most commonly used in medical application as a probe to diagnostic procedures and also for designing of biosensors. However, the application of this technology is very new in food [...]

Nanobiotechlogy: Applications in Food Science and Engineering

Sadeghi R., Ansari S., Uzun S., Bozkurt F., Gezer P.G., Karimi M., Kokini J., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US
Quantum (QD) dots were conjugated to anti-gliadin antibody and used as a fluorescent probes to track gliadin protein in dough and baked bread samples. CLSM images showed significant changes in the distribution of gliadin within [...]

Novel Carbon-Aluminum Materials

Jasiuk I., Nilufar S., Salamanca-Riba L., Isaacs R., Siddiqi S., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US
We characterized novel metal carbon materials called covetics. More specifically we study warm rolled Al 7075-carbon materials containing up to 5 wt% C. At macroscale we measured mechanical properties: Young’s modulus, ultimate tensile strength (UTS), [...]

The mechanical sensitivity of vesicle dynamics in in vivo and in vitro neurons

Ahmed W., Li T., Rubakhin S., Chiba A., Sweedler J., Saif T.A., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US
To study the mechanical response of both in vivo and in vitro neurons, we have developed a novel platform for in-situ high-resolution live-imaging of cells and tissues under applied mechanical strain. The system is capable [...]

Deuteron Beam Driven Fast Ignition

Yang X., Miley G.H., Flippo K.A., Hora H., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US
There are a number of physics issues related to the traditional approach of using a petawatt laser to generate a relativistic electron beam for Fast Igniting inertial confinement fusion (ICF) target. One promising alternate approach [...]

A Sparse Grid based Collocation Method for Model Order Reduction of Finite Element Models of MEMS under Uncertainty

Sumant P.S., Wu H., Cangellaris A.C., Aluru N., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US
A methodology is proposed for the model order reduction of finite element models of MEMS devices under random input conditions. In this approach, the reduced order system matrices are represented in terms of their convergent [...]

Fabrication of biodegradable zein films by using soft lithography

Altunakar B., Kokini J.L., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US
Microfluidic components are widely used in the design of both bioanalytical and diagnostic microdevices. The miniaturized sample volumes together with modifications of the surface chemistry and localization of molecules within microfluid channels has opened many [...]

The physical properties of zein nanoclay hybrid resin as a base for zein nanoclay films

Luecha J., Sozer N., Kokini J.L., University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, US
The waste of petroleum-based packaging materials has become the worldwide major environmental concern. Therefore, the biodegradable materials derived from renewable resources have become under spot light as a potential approach to reduce the packaging material [...]
