Flexible Nanocomposite Thin Films for Electronic Devices
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
Electronic technology is moving towards flexible, durable, and smaller devices with multifunctional capability. To accelerate this movement, creating materials with outstanding properties is critical. Nanocomposites based ...
Non-Thermal Plasma Synthesis of Luminescent Silicon Nanocrystals from Cylclohexasilane
(North Dakota State University, 2019)
In this report we establish cyclohexasilane (CHS) as a reliable precursor for non-thermal plasma synthesis of high quality photoluminescent silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs). We demonstrate that this synthesis approach can ...
Lead Halide Perovskite Nanocrystals: Photophysical and Photochemical Dynamics
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Lead halide perovskites nanocrystals (LHP NCs) are a recent novel material of ‘high-defect tolerance’ that has been synthesized which have provided a new platform for opto-electronic devices, such as photovoltaics and ...
Manipulation and Isolation of Biomolecules Using Dielectrophoretic and Hydrodynamic Methods
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
Novel particle manipulation techniques are developed to separate, isolate, and control a wide range biomolecules from DNA to cells in complex solution such as whole blood. First, we show that integrating an insulating tip ...
Tissue-Engineered Nanoclay-Based Bone-Mimetic 3D In Vitro Testbed for Studying Breast Cancer Metastasis to Bone
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Breast cancer shows a high affinity towards the bone, causing bone-related complications leading to poor clinical prognosis. Approximately 80% of breast cancer patients die within five years after primary cancer has ...
Adhesion With Slender Structures: Tape Loops, Crumples, and Origami
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
The desire for improved adhesive systems led us to examine three geometries: tape loops, crumples, and origami shapes. The tape loop is mechanically interesting because it is stable in more than one configuration. For ...
Experimental Evaluation of Multiscale Behavior of Human Bone
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Bone is the most important structural member of the human body. It has a unique
hierarchical structure and its primary constituents, collagen molecules and hydroxyapatite, are
arranged in a staggered pattern at nanometer ...
Synthesis of Sustainable Polymers from Vegetable Oil: Applications in Coatings and Nanoparticle Surface Modification
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Polymeric materials are increasing being used in many household, industrial, and health and personal care products. These materials, being either non-degradable or slow degradable, remain in the environment for a long time ...
Silicon Nanocrystals: Optical Properties and Self Assembly
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Silicon nanocrystal’s (SiNCs) size dependent optical properties and nontoxic nature portend potential applications across a broad range of industries. With any of these applications, a thorough understanding of SiNC ...
Optical Properties and Ensemble Characteristics of Size Purified Silicon Nanocrystals
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Nanotechnology is at the forefront of current scienti c research and nanocrystals
are being hailed as the `arti cial' atoms of the 21st century. Semiconducting silicon
nanocrystals (SiNCs) are prime candidates for potential ...
