Sentences with phrase «shaped nanomaterials»

To bypass this issue, Scott developed a nanocarrier using self - assembled, filament - shaped nanomaterials, which are loaded with a drug or imaging agent.

The spherical gold nanoparticles can be replaced with more complex shaped nanomaterials — such as hollow nanoparticles, nanorods, or nanotubes — to render a better absorption of near - infrared light to penetrate biological tissues.

Not exact matches

The structures of some nanomaterials bend and change shape when given an electrical jolt, so that a material's properties can be altered at the flip of a switch — it can change color, for example, or become transparent.

The absorbance and scattering of light is determined by the size, shape and material of the nanomaterial and, more importantly, it is also affected by any medium in close proximity to the nanomushroom, such as cells that have been placed on the slide.

«We know how to change the synthesis conditions to direct the design or realize the structure and shape of nanomaterials,» Ban said.

They chose a rod shape because they thought that would integrate well with the nanowires and curvatures of nanotubes, wrapping around them to create a robust electrode.The unusually long and very flexible strands of the nanomaterials are crucial to the superior features of the electrodes.

«Given that our approach does not depend on the particular particle's material and the large variety of particle shapes available - many more than in a child's building block play set - we have the potential to create many diverse types of new nanomaterials.»

The researchers explored how to tune the size, shape and morphology of materials known as cell - penetrating self - assembling peptide nanomaterials, or CSPNs.

«It degrades in a controlled fashion, resulting in nanomaterials that are of equal shape and size.

Nanomaterials have garnered intense interest in the scientific community, due in part to their unique shape -, size -, and composition - dependent properties, and emerging technological applications that leverage these properties require nanomaterials with very specific architectures and well - defined chaNanomaterials have garnered intense interest in the scientific community, due in part to their unique shape -, size -, and composition - dependent properties, and emerging technological applications that leverage these properties require nanomaterials with very specific architectures and well - defined chananomaterials with very specific architectures and well - defined characteristics.

Depending on the shape, the application, or the components, nanomaterials may be called by a variety of different names, including nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanofilms, nanoshells, nanospheres, nanowires, nanoclays, nanoconcrete, nanopolymers, and much more.

Lookman and his colleagues focused on nickel - titanium - based shape - memory alloys, but the strategy can be used for any materials class (polymers, ceramics or nanomaterials) or target properties (e.g., dielectric response, piezoelectric coefficients and band gaps).

The properties of nanomaterials depend greatly on their structure, shape, and size.
