This perspective proposes principles to identify nanohybrids with novel properties relevant nano EHS research, and discusses specific challenges for research on these materials.
Metal and metal-oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are used in numerous applications have high likelihood of entering engineered natural environmental systems. Careful assessment the interaction these NPs with bacteria, particularly biofilm is necessary. This perspective discusses mechanisms NP bacteria identifies challenges understanding NP-biofilm interaction, considering fundamental material attributes inherent complexities structure. The current literature reviewed, both for planktonic biofilms;...
Point-of-use (POU) water disinfection technologies can be adopted to provide access safe drinking by treating at the household level; however, navigating various POU difficult. While numerous conventional devices exist, emerging using novel materials or advanced processes have been under development and claimed of lower cost with higher treatment capacity. However, it is unclear if these claims are substantiated how compare ones in terms environmental impacts when providing same service...
Nanomaterial science and design have shifted from generating single passive nanoparticles to more complex adaptive multi-component nanohybrids. These nanohybrids (ANHs) are designed simultaneously perform multiple functions, while actively responding the surrounding environment. ANHs engineered for use as drug delivery carriers, in tissue-engineered templates scaffolds, clothing, smart surface coatings, electrical switches platforms diversified functional applications. Such composed of...
First report of a nano-enabled breakthrough that harnesses microwave energy for microbial inactivation.
A facile synthesis technique to generate 100s of mg nanohybrids with carbon nanotubes and metal oxide choice.
This article demonstrates the ability of surface-coated triboluminescent materials to detect damage in carbon fiber–reinforced polymer specimens. An experimental protocol was developed test efficiency triboluminescent-based diagnostic method using coupons under combined bending–compression conditions. Luminescence, emitted from coatings quasi-static loading, detected by capturing digital images. We employed image processing software quantify change luminescence as a function concentration....
