Enhanced potentiation of anticancer drugs using magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH): In vitro and in vivo studies
(2014)
Clinical studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of combined hyperthermia and anticancer drug treatments. Challenges related to effective heat transfer have limited its clinical application. The use of magnetic fluids ...
Rheology of rodlike nanoparticle suspensions in lyotropic liquid crystalline polymers
(2013)
Liquid crystalline polymers are ideal to develop oriented and anisotropic materials. The incorporation of a nanoparticle may improve or add properties to a matrix. Small concentrations of particles smaller than the liquid ...
Pillar-layered structured nanoporous coordination polymers for carbon dioxide adsorption-based applications
(2013)
Porous coordination polymers (PCPs) have been of great interest for scientist and engineers due to their potential use in applications such as heterogeneous catalysis, molecular storage, and gas separation via adsorption. ...
Synthesis and characterization of porous inorganic adsorbents for the removal of PPCPs via complexation and size exclusion principles
(2013)
Pharmaceutical and personal care products (PPCPs) are considered emerging contaminants that present great challenges for their remediation from water systems. Unfortunately, traditional water treatment methods are not ...
Simulations of the magnetization and magnetoviscosity of dilute magnetic fluids
(2009)
In this work was studied the rotational Brownian motion of magnetic spherical and tri-axial ellipsoidal particles suspended in a Newtonian fluid, in the dilute suspension limit, under applied shear and magnetic fields by ...
In situ diffraction studies of Ni nanostructure growth using microporous materials as supports
(2009)
Our objective is to study the growth mechanism of Ni nanostructures supported in microporous materials using X-ray diffraction. Since only the surface atoms of a catalyst are active, our aim is to find the optimum synthesis ...
Synthesis and characterization of a novel palladium nanostructured ensemble supported on anodized alumina substrates for hydrogen sensing applications
(2015)
Hydrogen is a versatile molecule used in many industrial processes. Hydrogen is flammable at concentrations between 4% to 75% v/v at atmospheric pressure with a tendency to leak. There are a variety of hydrogen sensors, ...
Stable colloidal dispersions of magnetic nanoparticles in aqueous media and polymer melts
(2009)
The work presented as part of this thesis describes a process to obtain two types of conventionally used magnetic nanoparticles, magnetite and cobalt ferrite, with a narrow size distribution that can be suspended in aqueous ...
Synthesis and characterization of modified mesoporous silicates for the adsorption of pharmaceutical and personal care products
(2011)
PPCPs have been recently identified as emerging contaminants due to their persistence in our potable water supply and aquatic systems. Unfortunately, traditional water treatment methods are inadequate for the removal of ...
Synthesis of multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles for biomedical applications
(2009)
Magnetite nanoparticles are attractive for biomedical applications such as magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH), a novel cancer treatment, due to their ability to induce heating through energy dissipation in an oscillating ...
