Flame-based Aerosol Synthesis of Metal Nanoparticles and Supported-Metal Nanostructures

Liu S., Swihart M.T., University at Buffalo (SUNY), US

Commercialization of inorganic nanomaterials is often limited by scale-up. Our group developed a unique flame- based aerosol process for scalable, continuous, and low-cost production of various nanomaterials, the High Temperature Reducing Jet (HTRJ) Reactor. Over [...]

Gaseous Flows and Heat Transfer through Micro- and Nano-channels

Sun H., Wang P., Liu S., Song M., Faghri M., University of Massachusetts-Lowell, US

The overall object of this paper is a systematic study of gaseous flows and thermal transport in two-dimensional micro- and nano-channels using direct simulation Monte Carlo (DSMC) method. The flows are often encountered in MEMS, [...]

A Novel Method for the Production of a Vast Array of Metal, Metal Oxide, and Mixed-Metal Oxide Nanoparticles

Woodfield B.F., Liu S., Boerio-Goates J., Astle L., Brigham Young University, US

In this paper we discuss the materials that can now be produced using a novel method for producing large quantities of high-purity metal, metal oxide, and mixed-metal oxide particles. These nanoparticles are uniform in size [...]

A Revolutionary New Method for the Synthesis of a Wide Array of Metal Oxide and Mixed Metal Oxide Nanoparticles with Sizes as Small as 1 nm

Woodfield B.F., Liu Q., Liu S., Liu Q., Liu S., Astle L., Boerio-Goates J., Brigham Young University, US

We have developed a revolutionary new method for the production of large quantities of high-purity metal, metal oxide, and mixed-metal oxide nanoparticles. Particles are uniform in size with dimensions that can range from 1 nm [...]

DNA-based Killer Automaton: The Innovative Nanomedicine

Liu S., Gaudiot J.-L., University of California Irvine, US

Based upon Shapiro’s molecular automaton model, we propose the DNA-based Killer Automaton (DKA), an innovative nanomedicine for cancer treatment. Each DKA is composed of a DNA cancer detector and a cytotoxic chemical. Equipped with an [...]

Structure Induced Ion Recognition of Self-Assembled Monolayers on Gold

Jiang Z., Liu S., Gao Z., Institute of Bioengineering and Nanotechnology, SG

The construction and characteristics of self-assembled monolayers(SAMs) anthraquinone-polyether compounds on gold were described. Surprisingly and in contrast to the behavior of the in solution, the SAMs show very high affinity towards alkali metal ions, as [...]
