Colorimetric Detection of Mercury Ions in Water with Capped Silver Nanoprisms
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2019-05-10)The emission of mercury (II) from coal combustion and other industrial processes may have impacts on water resources, and the detection with sensitive but rapid testing methods is desirable for environmental screening. ... -
Dynamic mechanical behaviour of nanoparticle loaded biodegradable PVA films for vaginal drug delivery
(Sage Publishing, 2018-03-01)In this study, we investigated the viscoelastic and mechanical behaviour of polyvinyl alcohol films formulated along with carrageenan, plasticizing agents (polyethylene glycol and glycerol), and when loaded with nanoparticles ... -
Experimental study on droplet generation in flow focusing devices considering a stratified flow with viscosity contrast
(Elsevier BV, 2017-05-18)High throughput analysis is highly demanded in a variety of chemical reactions. Droplet microfluidics offers unique advantages over traditional multi-well plate systems for high throughput analysis such as providing a ... -
A microfluidic chip integrated with droplet generation, pairing, trapping, merging, mixing and releasing
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2017-03-16)Developing a microfluidic chip with multiple functions is highly demanded for practical applications, such as chemical analysis, diagnostics, particles synthesis and drug screening. This work demonstrates a microfluidic ...
