Development of optimized therapeutic platforms for magnetic fluid hyperthermia in adjuvant cancer therapies
(2018-05)
Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH) has a great potential as an adjuvant in cancer therapy, enhancing the
effects of antineoplastic agents, sensitizing resistant cancers and reducing undesired side effects. When
compared ...
Pickering liquid crystal emulsions: Influence of mixed-monolayer protected gold nanoparticles on colloidal stability and surfactant-induced ordering transitions
(2021-04-13)
Liquid crystal (LC) droplets dispersed in aqueous phases (e.g., LC-in-water emulsions) provide a versatile platform for the design of droplet-based LC sensors that can respond to the presence of chemical and biological ...
Surface characterization of chemically modified electrodes with gold nanoparticles and (His)6-rHbI from Luciana pectinata for H2S Detection
(2019-05-15)
The recombinant polyhistidine-tagged hemoglobin I ((His)6-rHbI) from bivalve Lucina pectinata is an ideal biocomponent for a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) biosensor due to its high affinity for H2S. Nowadays it is clear that H2S ...
Vibrational spectroscopy studies of biomolecular systems: from amino acids to microorganisms
(2014)
Vibrational spectroscopy: infrared and Raman, was applied to the study of two amino acids and ten bacterial strains with the purpose of developing rapid methods of identification and discrimination. Use of spectroscopic ...
Observation of enhanced Raman scattering as a result of coupling between localized plasmons and surface polariton waves associated with metal-semiconductor nanocomposites
(2011-05)
We report the observation of enhanced Raman scattering as a result of the coupling between the localized surface plasmon (LSP) of metal nanoparticles (NP) and the surface plasmon polariton (SPP) associated with a thin metal ...
Microstructure and rheology of Janus particle suspensions
(2019-05-15)
The aggregate sizes and morphologies formed with colloidal particles have important consequences on the rheological behavior of colloidal suspensions. Self- and directed-assembly are the most used phenomena to produce ...
Novel separation methods for removing nanoparticles and copper from chemical mechanical planarization wastes
(2007)
Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) wastewater emanating from semiconductor processing contains copper (II) ions and either alumina and/or silica nanoparticles. The efficiency of biotreatment schemes to remove copper ...
Novel surface-enhanced Raman scattering probes for water safety applications
(2019-05-14)
Fresh produce safety is of great concern in the food industry, since its raw consumption and minimal processing in comparison to other food commodities, exacerbates the risks to become one of the leading sources of foodborne ...
Effect of engineering iron oxide nanoparticles on effluent water quality from biological wastewater treatment
(2013)
The production, use, and disposal of products containing nanoparticles may lead to their appearance in air, water, and soil, and subsequently in the human body. Because there is no existing regulation, large amounts of ...
Synthesis and characterization of copper nanoparticles: Architectural morphologies and applications in surface enhanced raman spectroscopy
(2009)
The preparation of copper colloidal suspensions was conducted by three different methods. These methods used wet chemical synthesis, in which a metal salt solution was mixed with a solution containing the reducing agent. ...
