Thermal Analysis of Nanoparticles: Methods, Kinetics and Recent Advances

May 4, 2015
Author(s)
Elisabeth Mansfield
This chapter will provide an overview of the thermal techniques available to study nanoparticles, including thermogravimetric analysis, calorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry. The use of thermoanalysis for the measurement of nanoparticle purity

Predicting enzyme adsoprtion to lignin films from enzyme surface hydrophobicity

May 29, 2014
Author(s)
Deanne W. Sammond, John M. Yarbrough, Elisabeth Mansfield, Yannick J. Bomble, Sarah Hobdey, Stephen R. Decker, Larry Taylor, Michael G. Resch, Michael E. Himmel, Todd B. Vinzant, Michael F. Crowley
The loss of digestive activity of cellulase cocktails on biomass is a major challenge, commonly attributed to the binding of certain enzymes to lignin. While the binding mechanism remains unclear, hydrophobic interactions between enzymes and lignin are

Three-Dimensional Hydrogel Constructs for Dosing Cells with Nanoparticles

January 13, 2014
Author(s)
Elisabeth Mansfield, Tammy L. Oreskovic, Nikki S. Rentz, Kavita M. Jeerage
In evaluating nanoparticle risks to human health, there is often a disconnect between results obtained from in vitro toxicology studies and in vivo activity, prompting the need for improved methods to rapidly assess the hazards of engineered nanomaterials

Statistical Sampling of Carbon Nanotube Populations by Thermogravimetric Analysis

December 25, 2013
Author(s)
Elisabeth Mansfield, Aparna Kar, Chih-Ming Wang, Ann C. Chiaramonti Debay
Carbon nanotubes are one of the most promising nanomaterials on the market, with applications in electronics devices, sensing, batteries, composites and medical communities. Strict control of the carbon nanotube chemistry and properties is necessary as the
