Development of a Hollow-Core Fiberoptic Microneedle Device for the Treatment of Invasive Bladder Cancer
… Experiments investigating the fluid dispersal of single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs) in the wall of inflated, healthy ex vivo bladders demonstrated that perfusion of 2 cm° on the bladder wall's surface can be achieved with a 5 minute infusion at 50 ?L/min. Irradiation of the SWNH perfused …

Development of a Fiberoptic Microneedle Device for Simultaneous Co-Delivery of Fluid Agents and Laser Light with Specific Applications in the Treatment of Brain and Bladder Cancers
… The therapeutic strategy was to infuse single-walled carbon nanohorns (SWNHs), a carbon-based nanoparticle allowing surface modification and drug encapsulation, into the infiltrating front of later stage bladder tumors. The SWNHs primarily serve as exogenous chromophores, enabling a …

Characterization Of Nanoporous Materials Using Gas Adsorption Isotherms: Evaluating Their Potential For Gas Storage And Separation Applications
… looked at three different types of materials: single-walled carbon nanotubes (prepared by the HiPco and laser methods), single-walled nanohorns (dahlia-like and bud-like) and metal-organic frameworks (Cu-BTC and RPM-1). For these substrates we have measured volumetric adsorption isotherms using …
