Integrated Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Sensors for Process Monitoring

Zhang K., Zhang X., Rabin O., Zhang K., Zhang X., Briber R.M., von Bredow H., Metting C., Atanasoff G., University of Maryland, US

Optical metamaterials obtain their unique properties from the combination of nanoscale plasmonic components and dielectric components. Reproducible mass-production of metamaterials is challenging but desirable for applications such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) for chemical sensing. [...]

Combating Dental Caries Via Restorative Materials Containing Antibacterial and Remineralizing Nanoparticles

Melo M.A.S., Cheng L., Zhang K., Weir M.D., Chow L.C., Antonucci J.M., Lin N.J., Lin-Gibson S., Lin-Gibson S., Xu H.H.K., University of Maryland Dental School, US

Dental caries is a wide spread public health problem, despite much effort in health promotion. Caries at the margins of restorations has been the main reason for failure. The development of direct-filling dental materials with [...]

Multi-functionalizations of Mesoporous Hollow Silica Nanospheres and Their HIFU Application

Chen H., Chen Y., Zhang K., Wang X., Chen H., Chen Y., Shi J., Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, CN

High intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), as a representative non-invasive therapeutic mode, has attracted extensive attentions among biological and medical researchers. In this report, we focused on constructing novel mesoporous hollow silica nanospheres (MHSNs) as innovative [...]

Enviroquip Membrane Bioreactor Systems – Novel Wastewater Treatment Process for Enhanced Nutrient Removal

Zhang K., Lewis C., Swanson M., Ball A., Enviroquip, US

Traditional wastewater treatment technologies are not sufficient in protecting sensitive receiving waters. Agencies are required to meet Enhanced Nutrient Removal (ENR) limits that are increasingly difficult to achieve (e.g. 3.0mgN/l and 0.1mgP/l). Various techniques are [...]
