Engineering nanoinks and photonic manufacturing for printable electronics

Hu A., University of Tennessee, US

We have developed various nanoinks, including silver nanowires, silver nanoplates, Cu-Ag core-shell nanoparticles, graphene oxide and graphene. Gram level nanoplates are successfully synthesized through a polymer controlled hydrothermal growth. Core-shell structures are synthesized through a [...]

Plasmonic Nanocages as Photothermal Transducers for Laser Induced Heating and Bubble Generation

Karampelas I.H., Alali F., Furlani E.P., SUNY-Buffalo, US

A series of new computational models is introduced to demonstrate several photonic and thermo-fluidic details of the photothermal process associated with nanosecond-pulsed, laser-heated gold nanocages. Such models can be used to simulate energy conversion within [...]

Guidelines for choosing an appropriate turbulence model when simulating blood flows in cardiovascular devices

Simpson B.A.F., Tansley G.D., Griffith University, AU

A systematic and detailed comparative study of computational results with validating experimental data has helped define the turbulence models that are most appropriate for predicting the velocity fields and shear forces in blood flows. The [...]

An Integrated Biometric Platform for Evaluation of Targeted Drug Delivery

Liu Y., Thomas A., Uhl C., Wang S., He R., Lehigh University, US

In order to develop in vitro methods, which more closely resemble in vivo environments, a novel technology involving the use of microfluidic devices, which more closely mimic blood vessels has been developed. The technology has [...]

Low-cost spin-coatable, Transferable, and High-k Ion Gel Dielectric for Flexible Eletrowetting

Narasimhan V., Sanjairaj V., Park S.Y., National University of Singapore, SG

Electrowetting-on-dielectric (EWOD) is an emerging liquid-handling technology, enabling the wettability modulation of a liquid on a solid surface with an applied electric field. Recently, EWOD has been attractively used on flexible substrates to show potential [...]

Bottom-up Nanofabrication of Crystalline Structures of Magnetic Nanoparticles

Xue X., Furlani E.P., SUNY at Buffalo, US

A bottom-up approach to the nanofabrication of three-dimensional (3D) crystalline structures of magnetic core-shell nanoparticles is presented. The approach is based on self-assembly and involves the use of soft-magnetic template elements to guide the assembly [...]
