Prediction Of Optical Properties Of Plasmonic Composites: Applications To Solar Energy Harvesting
… in the blue region of the spectrum from an Ag nanoparticle suspension could promote microalgal growth by more than 30%. This was because the photoactivity of green microalgae is non-monotonic across the electromagnetic spectrum. The wavelength and light flux of the backscattered field were …

Nanoemulsion-Loaded Hydrogels For Advanced Pharmaceutical Formulations
… the nanoemulsion into various dosage forms (nanoparticle suspension, drug tablet, and oral thin film) in a manner that avoids nanomilling. Finally, we develop thermogelling hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) nanoemulsions as robust templates to formulate oral films loaded with poorly …

Study of Freeze-Cast Porous Silica Nanoparticle-Based Composites
… on the formation and properties of porous silica nanoparticle-based composites, using techniques of freeze casting and sintering. Kaolinite platelets and silica nanorods were added into the nanoparticle system, and their effects on modifying the porous microstructures and physical properties were …

Low-cost, high performance solar vapor generation
… approaches to solar vapor generation was to use nanoparticles suspended in water, or nanofluids, to localize solar absorption to near the evaporation surface. This approach reduces the temperature drop between the heat generation site and the evaporation surface, increasing the evaporation rate. …

Tailored Materials for Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
… SERS substrates, including thiol-functionalised nanoparticles which form a large class of SERS-active materials as they are able to form selfassembled monolayers on the surface of a substrate and provide surface properties that may be tailored by altering the adsorbed thiol. Mixtures of thiols …

Stratification in Drying Particle Suspensions
… is on molecular dynamics studies of drying suspensions of bidisperse nanoparticle mixtures. I first use an explicit solvent model to investigate how the structure of the dry film depends on the evaporation rate of the solvent and the initial volume fractions of the nanoparticles. My …

Control of micro- and nanostructure: I. polymer gas chromatography microcolumns and II. applications of ultrasound
… use of ultrasonic nebulization of solutions and suspensions both to produce unique nanostructured materials and to aid the study of nanomaterials. The first chapter introduces GC and GC capillary microcolumns. A brief history of the development of GC is given, along with some of the important …

Microvascular materials for adaptive electronic structures
… 11 aqueous solutions of conductive polymers and suspensions of conductive particles are characterized at frequencies ranging from 50 MHz to 12 GHz. High dielectric permittivities and loss tangents are observed for most fluids tested, with concentrated suspensions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and …

Ordering of Nanoparticles by Wrinkle-Assisted Self-Assembly : Controlling Plasmonic Coupling Effects
… modification, properties and assembly of nanoparticles. Great progress has been attained in the preparation of nanoparticles of any desired size, shape and composition. Metal nanoparticles are particularly attractive due to their spectacular size and shape dependent optical and electronic …
