Well characterized polyethyleneimine/carboxylated polyethylene glycol functionalized gold nanoparticles as prospective nanoscale control materials for in vitro cell viability assays: particle characterization and toxicity test in eight mammalian cell line

January 7, 2025
Author(s)
Vytas Reipa, Vincent Hackley, Alessandro Tona, Min Beom Heo, Ye Ryeong Lee, Tae Geol Lee, Aaron Johnston-Peck, Tae Joon Cho
Safety screening of manufactured nanomaterials (MNMs) is essential for their adoption by consumers and the marketplace. Lately, animal-based testing is replaced by mechanistically informative in vitro assays due to requirements of regulatory agencies. Cell

Phase Composition and Phase Transformation of Additively Manufactured Nickel Alloy 718 AM Bench Artifacts

February 5, 2024
Author(s)
Fan Zhang, Aaron Johnston-Peck, Lyle E. Levine, Michael Katz, Kil-Won Moon, Maureen E. Williams, Sandra W. Young, Andrew J. Allen, Olaf Borkiewicz, Jan Ilavsky
Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies offer unprecedented design flexibility but are limited by a lack of understanding of the material microstructure formed under their extreme and transient processing conditions and its subsequent transformation

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

Long Range and Collective Impact of Au Surface Adatoms on Nanofin Growth

November 3, 2023
Author(s)
Babak Nikoobakht, Aaron Johnston-Peck, Jerry Tersoff
In the Au-catalyzed vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth of semiconductor nanowires, individual Au nanodroplets can result in single nanowires per site. However, growth of single nanofins per site using the same process becomes unpredictable. Our results show

Transformation of Engineered Nanomaterials through the Prism of Silver Sulfidation

January 1, 2019
Author(s)
Fan Zhang, Andrew J. Allen, Aaron C. Johnston-Peck, Jingyu Liu, John M. Pettibone
Structure transformation of engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) often dictates their efficacy, safety, and environmental impact. To address the existing significant knowledge gap regarding the fundamental kinetic rate and extent of ENMs transformation in

Approaches for the Quantitative Analysis of Oxidation State in Cerium Oxide Nanomaterials

September 21, 2018
Author(s)
Christopher M. Sims, Russell A. Maier, Aaron C. Johnston-Peck, Justin M. Gorham, Vincent A. Hackley, Bryant C. Nelson
Cerium oxide nanomaterials (nanoceria, CNMs) are receiving increased attention from the research community due to their unique chemical properties, most prominent of which is their ability to alternate between the Ce3+ and Ce4+ oxidation states. While many

Quantitative Analysis of Oxidation State in Cerium Oxide Nanomaterials

May 14, 2017
Author(s)
Christopher Sims, Russell Maier, Aaron Johnston-Peck, Justin Gorham, Vincent A. Hackley, Bryant C. Nelson
Cerium oxide nanoparticles (nanoceria) are receiving increased attention from the research community due to the large number and wide range of their current and potential applications. The attractiveness of nanoceria for these various applications is
