Plasmonic-enhanced fluorescent conjugated polymer chemosensor for ultra-sensitive detection of nitroaromatic vapors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)Rapid degradation of fluorescent conjugated polymers in ambient conditions imposes severe restrictions on their utility for long-term, portable sensing applications. This dissertation discusses the combined use of low-density, ... -
Quantification of cell attachment on different materials as candidate electrodes for measurement of quantal exocytosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)A high throughput lab-on-a-chip device is being developed for single cell capture for the purpose of high time resolution quantal exocytosis measurement with high probability of cell docking. This device makes use of DLC ... -
Self-aligned microchip device for automated measurement of quantal exocytosis
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)Here we describe a method to fabricate a multi-channel high-throughput microchip device for measurement of quantal transmitter release from individual cells. Instead of bringing carbon-fiber electrodes to cells, the device ... -
Simultaneous electrophoretic deposition of copper oxide/aluminum nanothermite films
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] This research details simultaneous electrophoretic deposition (EPD) of copper-oxide/aluminum nanothermite films. Deposition parameters such as precursor ... -
Single molecule imaging of DNA on nanogap embedded plasmonic gratings with enhanced fluorescence and improved level of detection
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)One of the most commonly used detection tools in clinical diagnostics, life science research, chemical, and biological sensors is fluorescence. Because of its cost effective, sensitive, and specific nature fluorescence has ... -
Sub-2 nm platinum nanoparticles growth study and device applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)This work describes a tilted-target RF magnetron sputter deposition system to grow nanoparticles in a controlled way. With detailed characterization of ultra-high density (up to 1.1 ?�� 10[superscript 13] cm?�???) and ... -
Synthesis and characterization of nanostructures and their applications : from supercapacitors to fluorescent labels to proteins
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Nanomaterials have gained importance in virtually all fields from industrial applications to pure science research since these were developed. However, ... -
Synthesis of ordered nanoenergetic composites
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)Energetic materials can be defined as the substances or mixtures that react chemically to release energy required for their intended application. Thermite is a subgroup of pyrotechnic, a class of energetic material. ... -
Utilizing the size dependent crystallinity, catalytic activity and charge retention characteristics of ultrafine sub-2 nm Pt nanoparticles in electrochemical/electrical systems
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2015)Use of nanoparticles (NPs) instead of the bulk material in catalytic/electrical systems is a growing trend, which has resulted in more efficient catalytic systems and low-power operational electrical transduction systems. ...
