Characterization of Cellulose Nanocrystals by SPM

Lahiji R.R., Reifenberger R., Moon R.J., Rudie A., Purdue University, US

Cellulose is the world’s most abundant biopolymer and is present in virtually all plants. Its main function is to act as a reinforcement material. Cellulose is a linear chain of ringed glucose monomers ((C6H10O5)n; n=10 [...]

DNA-Associated Single-walled Carbon Nanotubes as a Platform for Drug Delivery

Dolash B.D., Lahiji R.R., Zemlyanov D.Y., Reifenberger R., Bergstrom D.E., Purdue University, US

DNA-associated single walled carbon nanotubes(DNA:SWCNTs) have shown potential in drug delivery with the ability to translocate across the cell membrane carrying various biomolecules. Our laboratory has completed a series of experiments to show the sonication [...]
