Nanoparticles play a crucial role in biomedical and sensing applications. In this paper the design of non-spherical gold nanoparticles, operating in the near infrared and visible regime, is proposed. The structures consist of metallic resonating incl... Read More about Nanoparticle Electromagnetic Properties for Sensing Applications.

Conditions required for spinning continuous fibres from cellulose nano-fibrils (2012)
Thesis
Hernandez, Z. Conditions required for spinning continuous fibres from cellulose nano-fibrils. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5286

The thesis describes a programme of work to develop a novel cellulose based fibre. The most important innovative step in this work lies in the manufacture of the fibre from a chiral nematic suspension of plant based cellulose nano-fibrils. In the cou...
