Electrospray – Differential Mobility Analysis as an Orthogonal Tool to Size Exclusion Chromatography for Characterization of Protein Aggregates

March 12, 2012
Author(s)
Suvajyoti S. Guha, Joshua R. Wayment, Michael J. Tarlov, Michael R. Zachariah
The biopharmaceutical industry characterizes and quantifies aggregation of protein therapeutics using multiple analytical techniques to cross validate results. Here we demonstrate the use of electrospray-differential mobility analysis (ES-DMA), a gas-phase

Graphing and Grafting Graphene: Classifying Finite Topological Defects

March 8, 2012
Author(s)
Eric J. Cockayne
The structure of finite-area topological defects in graphene is described in terms of both the direct honeycomb lattice and its dual triangular lattice. Such defects are equivalent to cutting out a patch of graphene and replacing it with a different patch

Characterizing Equilibrium in Epitaxial Growth

February 20, 2012
Author(s)
Paul N. Patrone, Russel Caflisch, Dionisios Margetis
Using a kinetic model of epitaxial growth, we describe how geometry controls kinetic pathways through which external deposition influences the state of a vicinal surface. The state of the surface is determined by three key, adjustable parameters: the local

Polymer Dynamics in Constrained Geometries

February 1, 2012
Author(s)
Christopher Soles, Ryan Nieuwendaal, Huagen H. Peng
The wide-spread interest in the dynamical property of organic materials under strong states of confinement largely began with differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) measurements in the early 90's of the glass transition and heat capacity of glass forming

Anisotropic surface-state-mediated RKKY interaction between adatoms

January 18, 2012
Author(s)
Paul N. Patrone, T L. Einstein
Motivated by recent numerical studies of Ag on Pt(111), we derive a far-field expression for the RKKY interaction mediated by surface states on a (111) FCC surface. The main contribution to the interaction comes from electrons whose Fermi velocity is

Does Shape Matter? Bioeffects of Gold Nanomaterials in a Human Skin Cell Model

January 13, 2012
Author(s)
Nicole M. Schaeublin, Laura K. Braydich-Stolle, Elizabeth I. Maurer, Kyoungweon Park, Robert I. MacCuspie, A R M N. Afrooz, Navid B. Saleh, R.A. Vaia, Saber Hussain
Gold nanomaterials (AuNMs) have distinctive electronic and optical properties, making them ideal candidates for biological, medical, and defense applications. Therefore, it is imperative to evaluate the potential biological impact of AuNMs before employing

Size Measurement of Nanoparticles Using Atomic Force Microscopy, ASTM E2859-11

January 2, 2012
Author(s)
Jaroslaw Grobelny, Frank W. DelRio, Pradeep Namboodiri, Doo-In Kim, Vincent A. Hackley, Robert F. Cook
The purpose of this document is to provide guidance on the quantitative application of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to determine the size of nanoparticles2 deposited in dry form on flat substrates using height (z-displacement) measurement. Unlike electron

Copper oxide nanoparticle mediated DNA damage in terrestrial plant models

December 22, 2011
Author(s)
Bryant C. Nelson, Donald H. Atha, Elijah J. Petersen, Huanhua Wang, Danielle Cleveland, Richard D. Holbrook, Pawel Jaruga, M Miral Dizdar, Baoshan Xing
Engineered nanoparticles, due to their unique electrical, mechanical and catalytic properties, are presently found in many commercial products and will be intentionally or inadvertently released at increasing concentrations into the natural environment
