Nanomaterials are materials with one ... Due to nanoparticles having a greater surface area than an equivalent mass of larger particles, the toxicity of nanoparticles is greater than that of larger ...

Nanomaterials can be constructed by top down techniques, producing very small structures from larger pieces of material, for example by etching to create circuits on the surface of a silicon microchip ...

This is because of two reasons. Firstly, the smaller an object is, the larger its surface area per unit of volume. So, nanomaterials have a higher proportion of surface particles that are less ...

Cleaning up after a major oil spill is a long, expensive process, and the damage to a coastal region's ecosystem can be ...

Nanomaterials have emerged as a promising solution for enhancing water treatment processes and developing advanced surface engineering techniques. Their unique properties, such as high surface ...

Functionalization is a process of modifying the surface chemistry of nanomaterials by attaching functional groups, molecules, or biomolecules to their surface. This process aims to enhance the ...

Luminescent gold nanoparticles (L-AuNPs) represent a novel class of luminescent nanomaterials that have attracted ...

Nanoparticle researchers spend most of their time on one thing: counting and measuring nanoparticles. Each step of the way, they have to check their results. They usually do this by analyzing ...

Nanomaterials started to impact biomedical ... Owing to the high porosity and large surface area, electrospun nanofibres have recently been explored as scaffolds for mimicking the ECM required ...

We will study surface phenomena and surface energy that are of critical importance for nanomaterials and nanostructures. We will also learn various ways to control the structures and properties of ...

Her team uses a range of approaches and considers a range of scales of interaction – from the first contact with biomolecules such as proteins, lipids and dissolved organic matter, which adsorb to the ...
