Synthesis of nanostructured protein–mineral-microcapsules by sonication
2022
We propose a simple and eco-friendly method for the formation of composite protein–mineral-microcapsules induced by ultrasound treatment. Protein- and nanoparticle-stabilized oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions loaded with different oils are prepared using high-intensity ultrasound. The formation of thin composite mineral proteinaceous shells is realized with various types of nanoparticles, which are pre-modified with Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) and subsequently characterized by EDX, TGA, zeta potential measurements and Raman spectroscopy. Cryo-SEM and EDX mapping visualizations show the homogeneous distribution of the densely packed nanoparticles in the capsule shell. In contrast to the results re…
Environmental remediation using nanomaterial as adsorbents for emerging micropollutants
2023
Water shortage and scarcity are issues of global concern. Water pollution caused by organic micropollutants further aggravates the problem, by rendering an already scarce resource unfit for human consumption. The existing conventional wastewater treatment methods and infrastructure were not designed to eliminate micropollutants. Therefore, their inefficiencies call for modern methods for removing emerging micropollutant residues such as Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (APIs), Endocrine Disrupting Compounds (EDCs), personal care products and pesticides. The use of nanomaterials, for the abatement of micropollutants in water is gaining traction in recent years, due to the abundance of susta…
Tailoring the interaction between a gold nanocluster and a fluorescent dye by cluster size : creating a toolbox of range-adjustable pH sensors
2022
We present a novel strategy for tailoring the fluorescent azadioxatriangulenium (KU) dye-based pH sensor to the target pH range by regulating the pKa value of the gold nanoclusters. Based on the correlation between the pKa and surface curvature of ligand-protected nanoparticles, the pKa value of the gold nanoclusters was controlled by size. In particular, three different-sized para-mercaptobenzoic acid (p-MBA) protected gold nanoclusters, Au25(p-MBA)18, Au102(p-MBA)44, and Au210–230(p-MBA)70–80 were used as the regulator for the pH range of the KU response. The negatively charged gold nanoclusters enabled the positively charged KU to bind to the surface, forming a complex and quenching the …
On-chip purification of arc-discharge synthesized multiwalled carbon nanotubes via mobile liquid interface
2017
This thesis reports a novel approach for purification of carbon nanotube (CNT) samples deposited on smooth silicon substrates through a mobile liquid interface interacting with carbonaceous debris particles that contaminate the deposition. The method is based on physical interaction of the particles and the three-phase contact line via capillary interface forces, i.e. the surface tension, which results in the detachment of chemically indispersible colloids from the sample surface. In the experiments reported in this work, we focus primarily on arc-discharge grown multi-walled carbon nanotubes, whose synthesis is particularly plagued by carbonaceous debris that is difficult to remove without h…

Itsejärjestäytyvä DNA-kultananopartikkeli-rakenne yhden elektronin transistorina
2012
Tässä tutkielmassa selvitettiin kultananopartikkelien ja itsejärjestäytyvän DNA-järjestelmän soveltuvuutta nanoteknologian komponenttina. Työssä yhdistetään funktionalisoituja kultapartikkeleita jo valmiiksi tutkittuun itsejärjestäytyvään DNA-rakenteeseen työnimeltään BAB. Se muodostuu kolmen TX-tiilen ketjusta, johon suunnittelin kandidaatin tutkinnossani kiinnityskohdat kultapartikkeleille. Yhdistämällä kultapartikkelit ja BAB-rakenne saadaan muodostettua kolmen partikkelin ketju, ja tällä rakenteella pyritään muodostamaan yhden elektronin transistori: Toiminta yhden elektronin transistorina pyrittiin havainnoimaan Coulombin saarron avulla mittaamalla differentiaalista konduktanssia sekä …
