Protein-based nanoparticles for hydrophilic coating

Kim S., Biswas A., Evans K., USDA/ARS/NCAUR, US

Cyanoacrylate nanoparticles have been studied in great detail over the past three decades with a view to their use as controlled release drug delivery materials. The mechanism of polymerization is anionic where the initiating species [...]

Dissipative Intrinsic Localized Modes in Nano-ferroelectrics

Biswas A., Chowdhury K., Bandyopadhyay A.K., Bhattacharjee A.K., Mandal D., Dumkal Institute of Engg. & Technology, IN

Ferroelectrics are important materials for optical communication and other important areas of applications where discreteness and nonlinearity causes the formation of intrinsic localized modes that can transport energy with the help of the lattice. Based [...]

Large area graphene sheets synthesized on a bi-metallic catalyst system

Dervishi E., Li Z., Shyaka J., Watanabe F., Biswas A., Umwungeri J.L., Courte A., Biris A.R., Biris A.S., Biris A.R., Biris A.S., University of Arkansas at Little Rock, US

Few layer graphene sheets were synthesized on a bimetallic catalyst system utilizing acetylene as the hydrocarbon source. This is a low-cost method for large scale production of graphene via radio-frequency chemical vapor deposition. The as-produced [...]
