Resistive pulse sensing is used to characterize and count single particles in solution moving through channels under an electric bias, with nanoscale pores providing enough spatial resolution for single-molecule identification and…
Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis (NTA) provides a simple method to determine individual nanoparticle size. However, because size quantification is based on the slowly converging statistical law of random event, its intrinsic error is large,…
Tunable nanopores in elastomeric membranes have been used to study the dependence of ionic current blockade rate on the concentration and electrophoretic mobility of particles in aqueous suspensions. A range of nanoparticle sizes, materials…
The resistive-pulse technique provides a fast and label-free method for nanoparticle detection. In order to achieve a higher sensitivity, thin nanopores, such as silicon nitride pores, are usually considered. In this paper, nanoparticle…
Thermoresponsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAM) particles of different sizes are synthesized by varying the concentration of sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) in a one-pot method. The sizes, size polydispersities and the…
Resizable elastomeric nanopores have been used to measure pulses of ionic current caused by carboxylated polystyrene spheres of diameter 200 nm and 800 nm. The nanopores represent a novel technology which enables nanoscale resizing of a…
The characterization of individual nanoparticles in a liquid constitutes a critical challenge for environmental, material, and biological sciences. To detect nanoparticles, electronic approaches are especially desirable owing to their…
We present a scaling behavior of a rectifying bipolar nanopore as a function of the parameter $\xi=R_{\mathrm{P}}/(\lambda z_{\mathrm{if}})$, where $R_{\mathrm{P}}$ is the radius of the pore, $\lambda$ is the characteristic screening length…
Media and membranes composed of micrometric-diameter pores are well known in academia and industry to be capable of efficacious nanofiltration of fluids once the pore inner surfaces are coated with nanostructures. Given the large mismatch…
Nanoscopic pores are used in various systems to attract nanoparticles. In general the behaviour is a result of two types of interactions: the material specific affinity and the solvent-mediated influence also called the depletion force. The…
In the synthesis of metallic nanoparticles in microemulsions, we hypothesized that particle size is mainly controlled by the reaction rate. Thus, the changes observed on the particle sizes as reaction conditions, such as concentrations,…
Nanoparticles can influence the properties of polymer materials by a variety of mechanisms. With fullerene, carbon nanotube, and clay or graphene sheet nanocomposites in mind, we investigate how particle shape influences the melt shear…
Nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in diverse application areas, such as medicine, engineering, and cosmetics. The size (or volume) of NPs is one of the most important parameters for their successful application. It is relatively…
The short diffusion lengths in insertion battery nanoparticles render the capacitive behavior of bounded diffusion, which is rarely observable with conventional larger particles, now accessible to impedance measurements. Coupled with…
The permeability of certain polymer membranes with impenetrable nanoinclusions increases with the particle volume fraction (Merkel et al., Science, 296, 2002). This intriguing observation contradicts even qualitative expectations based on…
Nanopore membranes are a versatile platform for a wide range of applications ranging from medical sensing to filtration and clean energy generation. To attain high-flux rectifying ionic flow, it is required to produce short channels…
