Fabrication and Characterization of Nano-Field Effect Transistor for Bio-safety

Mishra N., Winterrowd P., Nelson R., Rastogi S., Maki G., Maki W., Maki G., Maki W., University of Idaho, US

The sensitive and robust detection of harmful biological and chemical molecules in the various samples have incredible significance in modern healthcare. New research in the field of nanowires has evidence that nanowire based diagnostic methods [...]

Homogeneous Bioluminescence Resonant Energy Transfer On High Density Array Imaging Chip

Filanoski B., Rastogi S., Cameron E., Mishra N., Maki W., University of Idaho, US

Fluorescent microarray technologies are widely used in molecular biology for studying gene expression, immune detection and drug discovery. Fluorescent assays are very sensitive but present problems with many bio-agents having inherent fluorescence which interfere with [...]

Peptide Nucleic Acids Modified Nano-Biosensor for Early Cancer Diagnosis

Rastogi S., Mishra N., Winterrowd P., Nelson R., Maki W., University of Idaho, US

Epigenetics is proving to have an increasingly important role in both human development and disease, particularly cancer. DNA methylation is one of two epigenetic alterations. A distinct set of tumor types has a high level [...]

Nano-structuring of isotactic polypropylene in presence of a self-assembling nucleating agent under defined flow conditions

Balzano L., Rastogi S., Peters G., Technical University Eindhoven, NL

Presence of additives in polymers plays an important role in physical and mechanical properties. For an example DMDBS is one of the frequently used additives in polypropylenes. The additive is used to achieve higher transparency [...]

Dissolution of Hydrogen Bonded Polymers in Water: From Synthetic to Biopolymers

Rastogi S., Vinken E., Harings J., Yin J., Terry A., Eindhoven University of Technology, NL

The field of supramolecular materials explores the use of intermolecular, non-covalent bonding to obtain novel self-assembled structures. Self-assembly is a method of spontaneous organisation of molecules into higher order structures ranging from the nano to [...]

Morphological Implications of the Interphase; Linking Crystalline and Amorphous Regions in Semi-Crystalline Polymers

Rastogi S., Terry A.E., Eindhoven University of Technology, NL

In semi-crystalline polymers, a range of morphologies can be obtained in which a chain may traverse the amorphous region between the crystals or fold back into the crystals leading to adjacent or non-adjacent re-entry, depending [...]

Dispersion and rheological aspects of SWNTs in ultra high molecular weight polyethylene

Zhang Q., Lippits D.R., Vaidya S.N., Rastogi S., Eindhoven University of Technology, NL

A new method is developed to homogeneously disperse single-walled carbon nanotubes bundles (SWNTs) in an intractable polymer, for example, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (Mw>3*106 g/mol) (UHMWPE). The dispersion is obtained by spraying an aqueous solution [...]
