Toxic Potential of Food-Relevant Nanoparticles in the Intestinal Epithelium

McCracken C., Zane A., Knight D., Dutta P., Waldman W.J., The Ohio State University, US

Oral exposure to nanoparticles incorporated in foods is increasingly common. However, the effects of these nanoparticles when ingested are still unknown. Thus, this investigation tested the hypothesis that nanoparticle toxicity is dependent on particle size, [...]

“In-Situ” Monitoring of CdSe/ZnS Quantum Dot Growth During Microwave Synthesis

Zane A., McCracken C., Knight D., Waldman W.J., Dutta P., The Ohio State University, US

The microwave synthesis of CdSe/ZnS quantum dots was observed in real-time using fluorescence spectroscopy for the first time. This technique was used as an efficient way to optimize the temperature and time of the synthesis, [...]
