An active brace for controlled transdermal drug delivery for adjustable physical therapy
(IEEE, 2014)This study presents an active brace which is a cost efficient precision-controlled advanced therapy medicinal product for time and rate controlled transdermal drug delivery (TDD) through the use of drug containing nanoparticles ... -
Boiling heat transfer enhancement of magnetically actuated nanofluids
(AIP, 2013)Nanofluids offer a potential breakthrough as next-generation heat transfer fluids since they offer exciting new possibilities to enhance heat transfer performance compared to pure liquids. A major drawback for using ... -
Comparison between discrete dipole approximation and other modelling methods for the plasmonic response of gold nanospheres
(Springer Science+Business Media, 2014-05)We investigate the plasmonic response of gold nanospheres calculated using discrete dipole approximation validated against the results from other discretization methods, namely the finite-difference time-domain method and ... -
Discrete dipole approximation of gold nanospheres on substrates: considerations and comparison with other discretization methods
(AAPP Physical, Mathematical, and Natural Sciences, 2011)We embark on this preliminary study of the suitability of the discrete dipole approximation with surface interaction (DDA-SI) method to model electric field scattering from noble metal nano-structures on dielectric substrates. ... -
Heat transfer enhancement with actuation of magnetic nanoparticles suspended in a base fluid
(AIP, 2012)In this study, we have experimentally demonstrated that heat transfer can be substantially increased by actuating magnetic nanoparticles inside a nanofluid. In order to materialize this, we have utilized a miniature heat ... -
Nano-boron as an antibacterial agent for functionalized textiles
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-01)The antibacterial properties of boron-containing compounds are well known although there are limited studies available on the pure boron nanoparticles. In this study boron nano-particles were characterized in terms of their ... -
Near to far-field thermal emission by nanoparticles on a substrate: Evaluation of effective medium theory
(The Optical Society, 2014)We study the near to far-field thermal emission of a thin SiC film with/without nanospheres placed upon it. We show that Effective Medium Theorem produces questionable results when approximating emission and absorption ...
