Self-assemblies of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and peroxidase enzymes: mesoporous structures and nanoscale magnetic field effects (nano-MFEs) for enhanced activity BioNanoCatalysts (BNCs).

Corgié S.C., Duan X., Kahawong P., Edwards J., Walker L.P., Giannelis E.P., Cornell University, US

BNCs are self-assembled complexes of magnetic nanoparticles and free-radical producing enzymes, including peroxidases and other oxido-reductases that were shown to have higher activities than their free-enzyme counterparts (up to 30 folds). The BNCs biochemical properties [...]

Morphological Consequence of Sonication on Lignin-CNT-Epoxy Composite

Thomas D., Edwards J., Parker R., Ku C.-L., Bryan D., Liao Y-H, Liang R., Florida A & M University, US

This project will utilize SEM and molecular modeling analysis to determine morphological consequences of presonication time on lignin particle size and the joint sonication of lignin with CNT. The investigation will yield a more fundamental [...]

Development of a Biologically Enhanced Carbon Nanotube Based Composite

Parker R., O’Neal R., Fisher D., Davey Kirk, Liang R., Edwards J., Florida A&M University, US

Composite materials continue to be important to the evolution of human space flight activity. The low weight/high strength ratio and thermal properties of carbon based composite materials in particular that make them well suited for [...]
