11. MRI Contrast Enhancement using Gd2O3 Nanoparticles
Abstract : There is an increasing interest for nanomaterials in biomedical applications and in this work, nanoparticles of gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3) have been investigated as a novel contrast agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Relaxation properties have been studied in aqueous solutions as well as in cell culture medium and the nanoparticles have been explored as cell labeling agents. READ MORE

12. Nanoparticles from shipping and road traffic
Abstract : In the urban environment road traffic is the dominant source of aerosol particles while in coastal and harbour areas shipping is also a significant source. For shipping there are no direct regulations regarding particle emissions. READ MORE

13. Gold-Based Nanoparticles and Thin Films : Applications to Green Nanotechnology
Abstract : The use of gold-based nanoparticles and thin films is very promising when it comes to improving several green nanotechnologies. Therefore, in order to further their use in applications such as electrochromic devices, photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes and photocatalysis, the aim of this work was to study the growth of gold-based nanoparticles and thin films.

14. Formation of nanoparticles by laser-activated processes
Abstract : Due to the small dimensions, nanoparticles and materials consisting of nano-sized building blocks exhibit unique — mostly superior — properties, well differing from their bulk counterpart. Most of the novel properties of nanoparticles (and nanomaterials) are size-dependent, while the majority of the common gasphase methods used for generation of nanopowders result in different, usually wide, size-dispersions.

15. A TEM Investigation of Contact between Nanoparticles
Abstract : Interaction between nanoparticles (1~100nm) provides us with answers to fundamental questions in many important applications e.g. adhesion, friction, and cold welding. The attractive force arises from the reduction of the total free surface and thus the total surface energy due to the formation of a boundary between the contacting particles. READ MORE
