Characterization and MEMS applications of nanothermite materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The research described herein is on characterization of nanothermite materials and development of nanothermite microdevices for shock wave generation, microthruster propulsion, and intracellular particle delivery and cell ... -
Development of a fluorescence-based protease biosensor using nanoscale platforms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)The development of a protease biosensor utilizing nanomaterials is presented in this dissertation. Peptide substrates and nanomaterial platforms were investigated to increase the sensitivity and response time for the ... -
Molecularly imprinted polymer labeled with quantum dots for detection of nitroaromatic explosives
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)A sensing device for explosive compounds is a fundamental step towards the capability to detect the presence of landmines, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other unexploded ordinance. To detect high explosive ... -
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 ... -
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, ...
