Chiral single-wall gold nanotubes
(American Physical Society, 2004)The formation of freestanding and tip-suspended chiral-wall (n,m) nanotubes, which were composed of helical atomic strands, from gold atoms was investigated using first-principles calculations, where (n,m) notation defines ... -
A comparative study of O2 adsorbed carbon nanotubes
(2003)First-principles, density functional calculations show that O2 adsorbed single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWNT) show dramatic differences depending on the type of the tube. Upon O2 physisorption, the zig-zag SWNT remains ... -
Conjugated polymer nanoparticles for cell labelling, imaging and drug delivery
(European Association for Chemical and Molecular Sciences, 2012-08)Nanoparticles based on conjugated polymers are emerging as a new class of luminescent nanoparticles. These nanoparticles have many potential applications including imaging agents, biosensors, and photonics owing to their ... -
Cyclodextrin nanofibers by electrospinning
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2010)We have demonstrated that cyclodextrin (CD) (a non-polymeric system) can be electrospun into nanofibers by itself; methylbeta-cyclodextrin (MbCD) nanofibers were electrospun and it was observed that the success of the ... -
Differential immune activation following encapsulation of immunostimulatory CpG oligodeoxynucleotide in nanoliposomes
(Elsevier, 2011)The immunogenicity of a vaccine formulation is closely related to the effective internalization by the innate immune cells that provide prolonged and simultaneous delivery of antigen and adjuvant to relevant antigen ... -
Dynamic thread and data mapping for NoC based CMPs
(2009)Thread mapping and data mapping are two important problems in the context of NoC (network-on-chip) based CMPs (chip multiprocessors). While a compiler can determine suitable mappings for data and threads, such static ... -
The effect of gadolinium doping on the structural, magnetic and photoluminescence properties of electrospun bismuth ferrite nanofibers
(Elsevier Ltd, 2015)Gadolinium (Gd) doped Bismuth ferrite (BFO) nanofibers (Bi1-xGdxFeO3 (x=0.0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20)) were synthesized via electrospinning. Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) analysis showed that the diameter of the ... -
