Spherical Au Nanoparticle Interaction with Lipid Monolayers Probed with Sum Frequency Generation Spectroscopy

Creator:

Faase, Ryan A.

Abstract:

Nanoparticles have become more prevalent from their use in sunscreen to antimicrobial agents in socks. In light of these applications, gaining a fundamental understanding of how NPs interact with humans is crucial for their future. Specifically, how cells interact with NPs and what factors drive the modes of cellular uptake....

ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Ryan A. Faase for the degree of Master of Science in Chemical Engineering
Investigating the Hemocompatibility of Blood-Contacting Biomaterials

Creator:

Hummel, Madeleine H.

Abstract:

Surface-associated thrombosis is a critical concern in medical device development. Current extracorporeal circulation units require systemic anticoagulation to avoid thrombosis, which can cause adverse effects such as thrombocytopenia, hypertriglyceridemia, and hyperkalemia. To address this issue, we combine the technology of polydopamine (PDA) functionalization with slippery liquid infused porous surfaces (SLIPS)....

Assessing Changes in Biological Interactions of Lipid-Coated Gold and Silver Nanoparticles Based on Physicochemical Properties

Creator:

Engstrom, Arek Mackenzie

Abstract:

Nanoparticles (NPs), particles defined by their size in a single dimension (1-100 nm), are being increasingly incorporated into commercial and industrial products due to their high surface area to volume ratio that gives them unique properties, such as optical tunability and higher reactivity than their bulk counterparts. NPs can be...
