Economical Approaches to Clean Space

Rossrucker C., Abbie Gregg, Inc., US

For nanotechnology research and pilot manufacturing facilities, whether new construction or retrofit, clean space is commonly a critical requirement. These spaces can become one of the expensive, hard to integrate programs of the project. These [...]

Novel FD SOI Devices Structure for Low Standby Power Applications

Ma M-W, Chao T-S., Kao K-S, Huang J-S, Lei T-F, National Chiao Tung University, TW

In this paper, fully depleted (FD) SOI devices with S/D extension shift and high-k offset spacer were investigated in detail. The results show that the S/D extension shift can decrease Ioff significantly to reduce standby [...]

Parallel Pd Nanoribbons by Spontaneous Organization of Pd Nanoparticles

Taratula O., Chen A.M., Zhang J., Chaudry J., Barnerjee I., He H., Rutgers-Newark, The State University of New Jersey, US

A simple solution phase method was used to fabricate Pd nanoribbons which are composed be an array of Pd nanoparticles separated with nanometers gaps. A remarkable feature of this method is that no templates are [...]

Growth and Some Enzymatic Responses of E. coli to Photocatalytic TiO2

Erdem A., Metzler D., Chou H.W., Lin H-Y, Huang C.P., University of Delaware, US

The effects of photocatalytic nano-TiO2 on the survival or die-off of E. coli (e.g. TK2) were investigated under ambient conditions. Experimentally, a 28-h E. coli culture was exposed to photocatalytic nano-TiO2 at various concentrations, e.g., [...]

Multifunctional Materials Based on Chitosan, Globular Protein and Gold Nanoparticles

Indrea E., Dreve S., Bratu I., Mihailescu G., Olenic L., Tomoaia G., Tomoaia-Cotisel M., Mocanu A., Horovitz O., Tomoaia-Cotisel M., Babes-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca, RO

Our studies are focused on the structure of thin films of chitosan and of globular protein in both the absence and the presence of negatively charged gold nanoparticles. Deacetilated chitosan of high molecular weight and [...]

Interesting applications on a novel high pressure high temperature microfluidic-based flow reactor

Niesz K., Csajagi Cs., Bernadett B., Jones R., Darvas F., ThalesNano, HU

Performing hazardous reactions at high pressure and high temperature in a safer and faster manner have always attracted great attention in the chemical industry. Recently, a new member of the Thales CubeTM micro-flow reactor series [...]

Sorption of Ethylbenzene, Toluene and Xylene onto Crumb Rubber from Aqueous Solutions

Alamo-Nole L.A., Roman F., Perales-Perez O., University Of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, PR

Crumb rubber is composed of a complex mixture of elastomers (polyisoprene, polybutadiene and styrene-butadiene) and carbon black, as reinforcing agent, among other compounds. The contents of carbon black and the presence of the elastomeric matrix [...]

Synthesis and Characterizations of ZnO Nanorods Arrays for Solar Cell and Chemical Sensor Applications

Lupan O., Chow L., University of Central Florida, US

Synthesis of nanorod based solar cells and sensors are quickly directed towards developing alternative, lightweight, flexible nanodevices for wide area of commercial applications. Many research papers has been published, in recent years, in the area [...]

Nano-Biotechnology toward Diagnostic Industry: Obstacles and Opportunities

Esfandyarpour H., Stanford, US

Biosensing of infectious agents should be ideally real-time, multiplexed, sensitive and specific. While no single device thus far have demonstrated superiority with respect to all these qualities, many of the upcoming nanomaterial-based sensors described in [...]

Serpentine Fluidic Structures for Particle Separation

Kole A.S., Lean M.H., Seo J., Palo Alto Research Center Inc, US

The above abstract is based on a novel technique for particle separation from liquid based solely on fluidic forces on the particles. No external force or filters are used for separation. The idea is scalable [...]
