  1. 1. Nanofluidic Scattering Microscopy for Single Particle Catalysis

    Author : Björn Altenburger; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; label-free methods; Platinum; Nanofluidics; Single nanoparticle catalysis; Particle trapping; Hydrogen Peroxide decomposition; Colloidal particles; Dark field microscopy;

    Abstract : Heterogeneous catalysis concerns material formulations – catalysts – that can assist a chemical reaction by improving its rate or selectivity, by lowering activation barriers and altering the energy landscape. The core of catalysts are often tiny metal particles that provide a large reaction surface at a small volume, as well as low coordination sites whose type and abundance depends on particle size and shape.

  2. 2. Angle dependent light scattering of functional nanoparticle composites

    Author : JunXin Wang; Gunnar Niklasson; Anand Srinivason; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; light scattering; nano particle; absorption; radiative transfer; Solid State Physics; Fasta tillståndets fysik;

    Abstract : Varies functional nanoparticles play crucial roles in energy- and optical- related applications. The incorporation of functional nanoparticles into non-absorbing polymers to form optical absorption and scattering thin films have attracted considerable interest due to a successful selection of particles and matrices, synergistic effects of separation and fixation of particles, and controllable layer thicknesses and structures.

  3. 3. Scattering of elastic waves by an anisotropic sphere

    Author : Ata Jafarzadeh; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Sphere; T matrix; Effective wave number; Distribution of inclusions; Phase velocity.; Anisotropy; Attenuation; Scattering;

    Abstract : Scattering of a plane wave by a single spherical obstacle is the archetype of many scattering problems in physics and geophysics. Spherical objects can provide a good approximation for many real objects, and the analytic formulation for a single sphere can be used to investigate wave propagation in more complicated structures like particle composites or grainy materials, which may have application in non-destructive testing, material characterization, medical ultrasound, etc. READ MORE

  4. 4. Physical characterization of exosomes and other extracellular vesicles using surface-based sensing

    Author : Deborah Rupert; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; nanoparticle tracking analysis; exosomes; scattering; surface-based biosensing; optical density; cluster of differentiation 63 CD63 ; liposomes; label-free; fluorescence; surface plasmon resonance; Extracellular vesicles; specificity; antibody; lipid content; single particle; quantification; size distribution; optical waveguide microscopy;

    Abstract : Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are hundred of nanometer sized particles secreted by almost all cell types. Exosomes are one type of EVs today intensively investigated due to the increased evidence suggesting that they play important roles as communicating vehicles in a broad range of physiological processes, pathological conditions and disease diagnostics.

  5. 5. Colloidal interactions obtained from total internal reflection microscopy measurements and scattering data

    Author : Moheb Nayeri; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; total internal reflection microscopy; colloidal stability; van der Waals interaction; Debye length; surfactants; depletion; scattering; colloidal stability;

    Abstract : The scattering of radiation can be used to extract information about the interactions between colloidal (10^{-7}-10^{-3} cm radius) particles suspended in liquids. As colloidal interactions incorporate entropic effects they are weak and while system specific they are governed by a number of general mechanisms. READ MORE
