SERS Gold Nanoparticles for Cancer Surface Marker Detection

Nguyen C.T., Nguyen J., Nguyen C.T., Nguyen J., Rutledge S., Wang C., Walker G.C., University of Toronto, CA

Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) gold nanoparticles may provide novel optical tags for cellular analysis. Currently, cell markers are mostly assessed by fluorescence labeling using flow cytometry. However, fluorescence dyes are usually limited to 4-5 [...]

In Vivo Tracking of Liposomes Using CT and MR Imaging

Zheng J., Liu J., Jaffray D.A., Allen C., University of Toronto, CA

Currently, there are limited methods available for longitudinal and non-invasive in vivo assessment of the transport kinetics of carrier-based therapeutics, such as those relying on liposomes. A viable strategy to non-invasively track the carrier in [...]

Design and Development of Nano-reinforced Bonds and Interfaces

Sun Y., Meguid S.A., Liew K.M., Ong L.S., University of Toronto, CA

This investigation focuses on the design and development of nano-reinforced adhesively-bonded high performance joints. The influence of homogeneous dispersion of carbon nanotubes and alumina nanoparticles on the cohesive strength, interfacial properties and mechanical behaviour of [...]

Characterization of Ion Implantation in Si Using Infrared Spectroscopy with a Lock-In common-Mode-Rejection Demodulation

Rábag F., Mandelis A., Salnik A., University of Toronto, CA

B+, P+, and As+ ion-implanted Si wafers in the implantation dose range 1x1011 - 1x1013 ions/cm2 were characterized using Photothermal Radiometry (PTR). A comparison between the conventional frequency scan and a new technique called Common-Mode-Rejection [...]
