Tuning photo-catalytic activities of TiO2 nanoparticles using dimethacrylate resins

August 20, 2015
Author(s)
Jirun Sun, Stephanie S. Watson, David Allsopp, Deborah Jacobs, Drago Skrtic
Unique photo-catalytic activities (PCAs) of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) made them attractive in many potential applications for medical devices. This study examined the benefits of the PCAs of TiO2 NPs through functionalization of the TiO2

The DNA Damaging Potential of Photoactivated P25 Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles

September 30, 2014
Author(s)
Elijah Petersen, Vytas Reipa, Stephanie S. Watson, Deborah Jacobs, Savelas A. Rabb, Bryant C. Nelson
Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are found in numerous commercial and personal care products. Thus, it is necessary to understand and characterize their potential environmental health and safety risks. It is well known that photoactivated TiO2 NPs

Characterization of Metal Powders Used for Additive Manufacturing

September 16, 2014
Author(s)
John A. Slotwinski, Edward J. Garboczi, Paul E. Stutzman, Chiara F. Ferraris, Stephanie S. Watson, Max A. Peltz
Additive manufacturing (AM) techniques can produce complex, high-value metal parts, with potential applications as critical parts such as those found in aerospace components. The production of AM parts with consistent and predictable properties requires

Application of physical and chemical characterization techniques to metallic powders

August 28, 2013
Author(s)
Edward J. Garboczi, John A. Slotwinski, Max A. Peltz, Chiara F. Ferraris, Stephanie S. Watson, Paul E. Stutzman
Systematic studies have been done on two different powder materials used for additive manufacturing: stainless steel and cobalt-chrome. The characterization of these powders is important in NIST efforts to develop appropriate measurements and standards for

Physical and chemical characterization techniques for metallic powders

August 28, 2013
Author(s)
John A. Slotwinski, Paul E. Stutzman, Stephanie S. Watson, Edward J. Garboczi, Max A. Peltz, Chiara F. Ferraris
Systematic studies have been done on two different powder materials used for additive manufacturing: stainless steel and cobalt-chrome. An extensive array of characterization techniques were applied to these two powders. The physical techniques included

NIST Gold Nanoparticle Reference Materials Do Not Induce Oxidative DNA Damage

February 1, 2013
Author(s)
Bryant C. Nelson, Donald H. Atha, John T. Elliott, Bryce J. Marquis, Elijah J. Petersen, Danielle Cleveland, Stephanie S. Watson, I-Hsiang Tseng, Andrew Dillon, Melissa Theodore, Joany Jackman
Well-characterized, nanoparticle reference materials are urgently needed for nanomaterial toxicity studies. The National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed three gold nanoparticle (AuNP) reference materials (10 nm, 30 nm, 60 nm) to address

More Durable or Vulnerable? --- Effect of Nanoparticles on Long-Term Performance of Polymeric Nanocomposites during UV Exposure

July 2, 2012
Author(s)
Xiaohong Gu, Minhua Zhao, Stephanie S. Watson, Tinh Nguyen, Joannie W. Chin, Jonathan W. Martin, Dongmei Zhe, Guodong Chen
Polymers are widely used as exterior coatings in buildings, bridges, aircrafts, and automobiles for both protection and aesthetic purposes. However, the sustainability and service life of the applied coatings is limited due to the photodegradation of

Pigment and Nanofiller Photoreactivity Database

July 2, 2012
Author(s)
Stephanie S. Watson, I-Hsiang Tseng, Tarek Marray, Bastien T. Pellegrin
The service life and durability of nanocomposites that contain fillers are affected by photocatalytic properties of these fillers, particularly narrow band gap metal oxides (NBMOs) such as titanium dioxide (TiO2). When illuminated with ultraviolet (UV)

Effect of Moisture on Copolymer Fibers based on 5-amino-2-(p-aminophenyl)-benzimidazole

October 4, 2011
Author(s)
Guillaume Messin, Stephanie S. Watson, Amanda L. Forster, John R. Sieber
In recent years, there has been concern in the soft body armor community that copolymer fibers based on 5-amino-2-(p-aminophenyl)-benzimidazole can release hydrochloric acid, which could potentially be detrimental to other fibers that might come in contact
