  1. 16. Size detection limits of spICP-MS for analysis of nanoparticles in environmental media

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Author : Eline Goossens; [2018]
    Keywords : nanoparticle; detection limit; single particle ICP-MS; environmental analysis;

    Abstract : Nanoparticles (NP) are widely integrated in our everyday lives, such as consumer products, health, agriculture, food, etc. This has resulted in a growing concern for their possible harmful effect on human health and the environment and the demand for characterization. READ MORE

  3. 17. Synthesis of gold nanoparticles for rapid genotyping of M. tuberculosis using rolling circle amplification and nanoflare technology

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Avdelningen för materialkemi

    Author : Susana García Mayo; [2017]
    Keywords : nanoparticles; AuNP; gold; tuberculosis; nanoflare; genotyping; RCA; ;

    Abstract : Tuberculosis (TB) is an airborne disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, with an incidence in a quarter of the world population. Despite the scientific and technological advances, an effective diagnostic method has not yet been found that allows an early diagnosis and, also, to detect the strain present in the patient.

  4. 18. Nanoparticle Removal and Brownian Diffusion by Virus Removal Filters: Theoretical and Experimental Study

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Nanoteknologi och funktionella material

    Author : Olof Gustafsson; [2017]
    Keywords : virus removal filtration; Péclet number; nanocellulose; hydrodynamic constraint; convective capture; diffusion;

    Abstract : This study aims to examine the throughput of nanoparticles through a Cladophora cellulose based virus removal filter. The effect of Brownian motion and flow velocity on the retention of 5 nm gold nanoparticles, 12.8 nm dextran nanoparticles and 28 nm ΦX174 bacteriophages was examined through MATLAB simulations and filtration experiments.

  5. 19. Plasmonic Effect of Metal Nanoparticles Deposited on Wide-Band Gap Metal Oxide Nanowire Substrate

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Mojtaba Gilzad Kohan; [2017]
    Keywords : plasmonic particles; nano wires; wide band gap semiconductors;

    Abstract : The application of nanowires (NWs) in solar cells (SCs) is of great interest due to their new promising aspects established in nanoelectronics. Semiconductors associated with plasmonic metal nanoparticles (NPs) such as Silver (Ag), Gold (Au) and Copper (Cu), show enhanced performance in solid state light absorbing SCs owing to plasmonic characteristic of noble metal NPs.

  6. 20. Merging Electrohydrodynamic Printing and Electrochemistry : Sub-micronscale 3D-printing of Metals

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Tillämpad materialvetenskap

    Author : Marcus Lindén; [2017]
    Keywords : additive manufacturing; 3D-printing; microsystem; nanotechnology; nanoscale; EHD; electrochemical; metals;

    Abstract : Additive manufacturing (AM) is currently on the verge of redefining the way we produce and manufacture things. AM encompasses many technologies and subsets, which are all joint by a common denominator; they build three dimensional (3D) objects by adding materials layer-upon-layer. READ MORE
