Modified Nanoparticle Films for Transmission Plasmon Biosensing

Bonroy K., Frederix F., Reekmans G., Jans H., Jans K., Jans H., Jans K., Van de Broek B., De Palma R., Borghs G., IMEC, BE

The principle of the Transmission Plasmon Biosensor is based on LSPR of metal nanoparticles attached to a transparent substrate. When the analyte of interest binds to the bioreceptors immobilized onto these nanoparticles, the absorption properties [...]

Stable Self-Assembled Monolayers for sensitive biosensor interfaces

Jans H., Jans K., Jans H., Jans K., Bonroy K., Frederix F., Reekmans G., Maes G., Borghs G., IMEC, BE

One of the most important requirements for making advanced biosensors and biochips is the attachment of biological receptors onto a solid support. For this reason, it is important to construct a stable and well-characterized interface [...]

Shape-controlled synthesis and functionalization of gold nanoparticles for hyperthermia applications

Van de Broek B., Frederix F., Bonroy K., Jans H., Maes G., Borghs G., IMEC, BE

Control of nanoparticle shape may initially seem like a scientific curiosity, but its goal goes far beyond aesthetic appeal. The shape not only influences the chemical and optical properties of metal nanoparticles, but also their [...]
