Chemically modified polacrylic acid monolayers in alumina nanoporous membranes for cancer detection

Atre S.V., Monfared N., Bothara M., Prasad S., Varadarajan S., Oregon Nanoscience & Microtechnologies Insittute, US

We report the synthesis and modification of polyacrylic acid (PAA) monolayers in nanoporous alumina membranes. PAA was adsorbed onto the membrane surface using solution self-assembly to provide 0.5 -1 nm films that are robustly bound [...]

Ferromagnetic Resonance Biochip for Diagnosing Pancratic Cancer

Casler E., Chae S., Kunduru V., Bothara M., Yang E., Ghionea S., Dhagat P., Prasad S., Portland State University, US

The goal of this research is to be able to develop a device that would be able to detect and diagnosis pancreatic cancer at bedside. The key criteria to be addressed are the cost, portability, [...]

Nanomonitors: Electrical Immunoassays towards Clinical Diagnostics

Bothara M., Prasad S., Barrett T., Carruthers J., Portland State University, US

We present here the development and tetsing of a protein biosensor operating on electrical capacitance changes as a measure for idnetifying protein biomarkers that are indicators of vulnerale coronary vascular plaque. The prototype of the [...]

Densification and Grain Growth During the Sintering of Nanoscale SiC

Bothara M., Park S-J, German R.M., Sudarshan T.S., Radhakrishnan R., Atre S.V., Oregon Nanoscience & Microtechnologies Institute, US

Numerous routes have been developed recently for the synthesis of a broad range of ceramic and metal nanoparticles. However, applications for these new materials have lagged behind owing to a limited understanding of processing methods [...]
