...Published in Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids
This paper describes the measurement of the electroosmotic mobility (EOF) in a Wheatstone fluidic bridge (μFWB) as a direct probe of the surface instability. The variation of EOF known as one major contribution of the electrokinetic migration has been determined with a real-time measurement platform after different conditionings on chips. We also s...
Conversion of methane to methanol with a bent mono(μ-oxo)dinickel anchored on the internal surfaces of micropores.
Published in Langmuir
The oxidation of methane to methanol is a pathway to utilizing this relatively abundant, inexpensive energy resource. Here we report a new catalyst, bent mono(μ-oxo)dinickel anchored on an internal surface of micropores,which is active for direct oxidation. It is synthesized from the direct loading of a nickel precursor to the internal surface of m...
A structure-property relationship study of the well-defined telodendrimers to improve hemocompatibility of nanocarriers ...
Published in Langmuir : the ACS journal of surfaces and colloids
A series of telodendrimer (a linear polyethyelene glycol-block-dendritic oligo-cholic acid) have been synthesized via a bottom-up approach to optimize the hemocompatibility of the nanocarrier. Numbers of hydrophilic glycerol groups were introduced onto the polar surface of cholic acid to reduce the plasma membrane lytic activity of telodendrimers. ...
Effect of the alkyl chain length of secondary amines on the phase transfer of gold nanoparticles from water to toluene.
...Published in Langmuir
In the present paper we describe a phase transfer of aqueous synthesized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) from water to toluene using secondary amines: dioctylamine, didodecylamine, and dioctadecylamine. The effect of the hydrocarbon chain length and amount of amines on the transfer efficiency were investigated in the case of nanoparticles (NPs) with thr...

An empirically validated analytical model of droplet dynamics in electrowetting on dielectric devices.
Published in Langmuir
Explicit analytical models that describe the capillary force on confined droplets actuated in electrowetting on dielectric devices and the reduction in that force by contact angle hysteresis as a function of the three-dimensional shape of the droplet interface are presented. These models are used to develop an analytical model for the transient pos...
