Characterization of Nanostructured Phenolic and Epoxy Composites Under Pulse Laser Degradation

Young S., Kumar A., Ludwick A., Aglan H., Tuskegee University, US

Phenolic and epoxy nanocomposites were fabricated and exposed to pulsed laser. The nanoreinforcements were alumina nanofibers (ANF) and multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT). The loading of the nanoreinforcement was kept the same for both the epoxy [...]

The Potential of Silicon-Based Ligands in Metal-Organic Frameworks

Jumabekov A., Imperial College, UK

The synthesis and characterisation of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) based on metal centres linked by silicon-containing ligands and the investigation for their ability to take up small magnetically active molecules in order to look at the [...]

Nanopore detection of nerve agent degradation products

Guan X., Gupta J., Zhao Q., de Zoysa R.S., Jayawardhana D.A., The University of Texas at Arlington, US

Improved analytical capability for detection of organophosphate chemical agents (i.e. nerve gases) remains a high priority need in our continuing defense against future terrorist attacks. A nanopore stochastic sensing method for the rapid detection of [...]

Iron based 1D Nanostructures by Electrospinning Process

Eid C., Brioude A., Salles V., Plenet J.-C., Asmar R., Monteil Y., Khoury A., Khoury R., Khoury A., Khoury R., Miele P., Université Claude Bernard-Lyon 1, FR

Due to their strong shape anisotropy, one-dimensional (1D) nanomaterials, including nanotubes, nanowires and nanofibers exhibit specific properties that are not observed in the case of their bulk or particle counterparts.1 Moreover, when such nanomaterials display [...]

Visible Room Temperature Photoluminescence in Wet-Chemically Etched Silicon Nanowires

Sivakov V.A., Voigt F., Brönstrup G., Bauer G., Christiansen S.H., Institute of Photonic Technology, DE

Strong room temperature visible (red-orange) photoluminescence (PL) has been observed in wet chemically etched heavily (10E19 cm-3) and lowly (10E15 cm-3) doped silicon nanowires (SiNWs). Our observations strongly suggest that visible light emission at room [...]

Control of the morphology of nanoparticles resulting from the dynamic optimization of a fed-batch emulsion copolymerization process

Benyahia B., Latifi A., Fonteix C., Pla F., University of Nancy, FR

This paper deals with the design and the control of the morphology of core-shell nanoparticles elaborated by emulsion copolymerization of styrene and butyl-acrylate in the presence of n-dodecyl mercaptan, as a chain transfer agent (CTA). [...]

Nanoemulsion Formation and characterization of Neutraceutical Components with the Sonication and Self-Assembly Methods

Choi A.J., Park C.B., Park C.G., Park C.B., Park C.G., Han S.H., Rural Development Administration, KR

In this research, we investigated the optimum condition for the preparation of O/W nanoemulsion containing surfactants, neutraceutical ingredients extracted from Angelica gigas Nakai and oil phase in ternary phase diagrams of systems, and characterized the [...]

Magnetoliposomes: Stability of Magnetic Nanoparticles in Suspension for drug delivery

Sen T., Sheppard S.J., Mercer T., Elhissi A., University of Central Lancashire, UK

A simple and rapid one pot method of synthesis of magneto-liposome has been reported. The nanoparticles exhibited exceptional stability in suspension. Magnetoliposomes were efficient for DNA binding/elution and drug loading.

Green Chemistry Derived Nanocomposite of Silver-modified Titania used for Disinfectant

Liu J., Ramirez I., Bashir S., Mernaugh R., Texas A&M University-Kingsville, US

A significant accomplishment of this study centers on developing nanocomposite (NC) materials via green synthesis (GS) techniques for inactivation of prokaryotes like Escherichia coli. The motivations are to: (1) implement fundamental research in nanochemistry for [...]
