Measurement of 100 nm Monodisperse Particles by Four Accurate Methods: Uncertainty and Traceability

February 12, 2024
Author(s)
George Mulholland, Kaleb Duelge, Vincent A. Hackley, Natalia Farkas, John A. Kramar, Keiji Takahata, Michael Zachariah, Hiromu Sakurai, Kensei Ehara
Accurate measurements of particle diameter are necessary for quantitative characterization of key aerosol properties including the Cunningham slip correction, charging probability, the diffusion coefficient, the coagulation coefficient, and optical

Stability-Enhanced Cisplatin Gold Nanoparticles as Therapeutic Anticancer Agents

December 22, 2023
Author(s)
Tae Joon Cho, Vytas Reipa, John Pettibone, Justin Gorham, Allesandro Tona, Aaron Johnston-Peck, Bryant C. Nelson, Vincent Hackley
Using dendron chemistry, we developed stability-enhanced carboxylate surfacemodified (negatively charged dendron) AuNPs (Au-NCD). Since the carboxylate surface of Au- NCD is optimal for complexation with cisplatin (Pt) moieties, we further synthesized Pt

Federal perspective on critical research issues in nanoEHS

Janet Carter, Sri Nadadur, Rhema Bjorkland, William Boyes, Chuck Geraci, Vincent A. Hackley, John Howard, Alan Kennedy, Igor Linkov, Joanna Matheson, Holly Mortensen, Custudio Muinga, Elijah Petersen, Nora Savage, Stacey Standridge, Trey Thomas, Benjamin Trump
This article discusses critical issues and opportunities going forward in nanotechnology environmental, health, and safety (nanoEHS) research from the perspective of Federal Government agency participants in the U.S. National Nanotechnology Initiative (NNI

Polyethyleneimine/polyethylene glycol-conjugated gold nanoparticles as nanoscale positive/negative controls in nanotoxicology: Testing in frog embryo teratogenesis assay-Xenopus and mammalian tissue culture system

March 15, 2023
Author(s)
Vytas Reipa, Alessandro Tona, Feng Yi, Bryant C. Nelson, David A. LaVan, Vincent A. Hackley, Tae Joon Cho
Despite the great potential of using positively charged gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in nanomedicine, no systematic studies have been reported on their synthesis optimization or colloidal stability under physiological conditions until a group at the National

Introduction of nanoscale positive controls for nanotoxicology: A new aspect of utilization of stability-enhanced Gold-Polyethyleneimine conjugates (Au-PEIs)

November 8, 2022
Author(s)
Tae Joon Cho, Vincent A. Hackley, Vytas Reipa, Alessandro Tona, Christopher Sims, Natalia Farkas
Polyethyleneimine (PEI) conjugated gold nanoparticles (Au-PEIs) have potential use as positively charged gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for nanomedical applications, due to their cationic surface that promotes cellular uptake and gene transfection. We report

Preparation, Characterization, and Biological Activity of Stability-Enhanced Polyethyleneimine-Conjugated Gold Nanoparticles (Au-PEI@NIST) for Biological Application

September 16, 2021
Author(s)
Tae Joon Cho, Vincent A. Hackley, Feng Yi, David A. LaVan, Vytas Reipa, Alessandro Tona, Bryant C. Nelson, Christopher Sims, Natalia Farkas
In this special publication, we report on a modified synthetic process that results in a stable suspension of Au-PEI nanoparticles, Au-PEI@NIST. Synthesized materials were characterized using an orthogonal approach that included dynamic light scattering

Detection, counting and characterization of nanoplastics in marine bioindicators: a proof of principle study

April 15, 2021
Author(s)
Jeremie Parot, Andrea Valsesia, Jessica Ponti, Dora Mehn, Rita Marino, Daniela Melillo, Samantha Facchetti, Shinichiro Muramoto, R. Michael Verkouteren, Vincent A. Hackley, Pascal Colpo
Plastic particulates in the environment pose an increasing concern for regulatory bodies due to their potential risk to higher organisms (including humans) as they enter the food chain. Nanoplastics (pNP) (defined here as smaller than 1 µm) are
