Environmental Transformations of Nanoparticles in Natural Water Systems using a Hydrophobic and Hydrophilic Dye Assay

Creator:

Turnquist, Macklin C.

Abstract:

Nanoparticles (NPs) are generally defined as particles <100 nanometers (nm) in size in one dimension. Despite increasing industrial usage of TiO2 NPs in sunscreens, cosmetics, and water remediation little is known of their environmental behavior. The primary goal of this research was to develop a rapid method for determining the...

Reduced toxicity of benzethonium chloride to Escherichia coli through adsorption onto titanium dioxide nanoparticles

Creator:

Waldron, Kerri Raven

Abstract:

Antimicrobial agents are being increasingly used in consumer soaps and detergents, despite a lack of data demonstrating their efficacy in such products. This study investigated the nature of the interaction between different crystalline structures of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and BTC, and explore which structure, if any, could be best used...
