Synthesis and Characterization of a Novel Palladium Nanostructured Ensemble Supported in Anodized Alumina Membranes for Hydrogen Sensing Applications

Méndez-Colberg H.G., Martínez-Iñesta M.M., University of Puerto Rico, Mayaguez Campus, US

A Pd/Anodic alumina membrane (AAM) ensemble was formed by using Solid State Reduction. The ensemble consisted of Pd thin films on both sides of the AAM with connecting nanowires as evidenced with Scanning Electron Microscopy [...]

Reduction-sensitive hyaluronic acid nanoparticles for targeted intracellular deliery of doxorubicin

Saravanakumar G., Shin J.M., Um W., Park J.H., Sungkyunkwan University, KR

Disulfide-containing HA dodecyl conjugates (HA-SS-DDTs) were synthesized using the facile thiol-exchange reaction as the carrier for intracellular delivery of doxorubicin (DOX). Owing to its amphiphilicity, HA-SS-DDT could form self-assembled nanoparticles in an aqueous condition. The [...]

FlexEnergy: Using Waste Fuels to Eliminate 25 Times the GHG Effect of CO2

Prabhu E., Fukumoto P., Luedde B., FlexEnergy, LLC., US

The Flex Powerstation is the cleanest power platform in the world. The Flex oxidizes gases especially weak and waste gases previously unusable to produce clean, green electricity. Today’s emissions problem becomes a green energy source. [...]

Monometallic nano-catalysts for the reduction of perchlorate in water

Wang D.M., Lin H-Y, Huang C.P., University of Delaware, US

Perchlorate removal in a clean, cost-effective and public-acceptable approach is one of the important issues for current drinking water treatment. Catalytic membrane (CM) was prepared by coating monometallic catalysts of the nano-size onto supports by [...]

Automatic Generation of Small-Signal Dynamic Macromodels from 3-D Simulation

Ramaswamy D., White J.K., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US

Recent algorithmic developments have greatly accelerated 3-D simulation of micromachined devices, but simulation and optimization of systems which use those devices require much more easily evaluated, yet still accurate, macromodels. In this paper we focus [...]
