Journal ArticleDOI
Antioxidant Properties of Cerium Oxide Nanocrystals as a Function of Nanocrystal Diameter and Surface Coating
Seung Soo Lee,Wensi Song,Minjung Cho,Hema L. Puppala,Phuc Nguyen,Huiguang Zhu,Laura Segatori,Vicki L. Colvin +7 more
TL;DR: This work examines the effect of nanocrystal diameter and surface coating on the reactivity of cerium oxide nanocrystals with H2O2 both in chemical solutions and in cells, suggesting that their redox cycling behavior can be preserved even when stabilized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum dot weathering results in microbial toxicity.
TL;DR: It is warned that even moderately acidic or alkaline conditions could lead to significant and localized organism effects due to toxic exposure to dissolved heavy metals and biocompatibility and ecotoxicity tests for QDs should consider in vivo and/or in situ transformations to fully characterize the potential risks to environmental health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Combined physical and chemical immobilization of glucose oxidase in alginate microspheres improves stability of encapsulation and activity.
TL;DR: The comparison of these three techniques showed the emulsion-conjugation technique to be a potentially effective and practical way to fabricate alginate/GOx microspheres for implantable glucose biosensor application.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring the grafting density of nanoparticles in solution by analytical ultracentrifugation and total organic carbon analysis.
Denise Benoit,Huiguang Zhu,Michael H. Lilierose,Raymond A. Verm,Naushaba Ali,Adam Morrison,John D. Fortner,Carolina Avendano,Vicki L. Colvin +8 more
TL;DR: Two techniques, analytical ultracentrifugation (AUC) and total organic carbon analysis (TOC), can be applied separately to the measurement of this parameter, grafting density, and the measured grafting densities correlate well with the polymer content determined by thermogravimetric analysis of solid conjugate samples.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bilayers as phase transfer agents for nanocrystals prepared in nonpolar solvents.
Arjun Prakash,Huiguang Zhu,Christopher J. Jones,Denise Benoit,Adam Z. Ellsworth,Erika L. Bryant,Vicki L. Colvin +6 more
TL;DR: Bilayer-nanocrystal complexes possess many of the same size-dependent features as the original materials, and as such offer new avenues for exploring and exploiting the interface between nanocrystals and biology.
