High flux nanocomposite hollow fiber membrane for hemodialysis

Verma S.K., Modi A., Singh A.K., Teotia R., Bellare J., IIT Bombay, IN

Nanocomposite zeolite based hollow fiber membranes (HFMs) were made using polyether sulfone (P) as a base polymer, vitamin E TPGS (T) as an additive, and nano-zeolite (NZ) as a filler. Such membranes would have widespread [...]

Photoluminescence Studies of Green Synthesized Copper Nanoparticles

Annapurna S., Suresh Y., Sreedhar B., Singh A.K., Bhikshamaiah G., Osmania University College for Women, IN

Copper nanoparticles are prepared using a two stage chemical reduction method. Potato starch and Ocimum Sanctum leaf extract are used to stabilize the copper nanoparticles. This approach is proved to be an efficient method for [...]

Bioluminescent Model for the Quantification of Photothermal Ablative Breast Cancer Therapy Mediated by Near-Infrared Nanoparticles

Gutwein L.G., Singh A.K., Hahn M.A., Rule M.C., Brown S.C., Moudgil B., Grobmyer S.R., University of Florida, US

Multifunctional nanoparticles hold promise for enabling non-invasive image guided cancer therapy such as photothermal therapy. Human breast tumor models in which response to image guided therapy can quickly and non-invasively be determined are needed to [...]
