• Analysis of Actin and Focal Adhesion Organisation in U2OS Cells on Polymer Nanostructures 

      Vinje, Jakob; Guadagno, Noemi Antonella; Progida, Cinzia; Sikorski, Pawel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background In this work, we explore how U2OS cells are affected by arrays of polymer nanopillars fabricated on flat glass surfaces. We focus on describing changes to the organisation of the actin cytoskeleton and in the ...
    • Effect of chain architecture on the compression behavior of nanoscale polyethylene particles 

      Wu, Jianyang; He, Jianying; Odegard, Gregory; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Polymeric particles with controlled internal molecular architectures play an important role as constituents in many composite materials for a number of emerging applications. In this study, classical molecular dynamics ...
    • Effects of substrate annealing on the gold-catalyzed growth of ZnO nanostructures 

      Weigand, Christian Carl; Skåre, Daniel; Ladam, Cecile; Grepstad, Jostein; Weman, Helge (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2011)
      The effects of thermal substrate pretreatment on the growth of Au-catalyzed ZnO nanostructures by pulsed laser deposition are investigated. C-plane sapphire substrates are annealed prior to deposition of a thin Au layer. ...
    • Growing gold nanostructures for shape-selective cellular uptake 

      Bandyopadhyay, Sulalit; McDonagh, Birgitte Hjelmeland; Singh, Gurvinder; Raghunathan, Karthik; Sandvig, Axel; Sandvig, Ioanna; Andreassen, Jens-Petter; Glomm, Wilhelm (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      With development in the synthesis of shape- and size-dependent gold (Au) nanostructures (NSs) and their applications in nanomedicine, one of the biggest challenges is to understand the interaction of these shapes with ...
    • Low-Temperature Plasma-Enhanced Atomic Layer Deposition of SiO2 Using Carbon Dioxide 

      Zhu, Zhen; Sippola, Perttu; Ylivaara, Oili M E; Modanese, Chiara; Di Sabatino Lundberg, Marisa; Mizohata, Kenichiro; Merdes, Saoussen; Lipsanen, Harri; Savin, Hele (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      In this work, we report the successful growth of high-quality SiO2 films by low-temperature plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition using an oxidant which is compatible with moisture/oxygen sensitive materials. The SiO2 ...
    • Magnetic Nanoparticles to Unique DNA Tracers: Effect of Functionalization on Physico‑chemical Properties. 

      Sharma, Anuvansh; Foppen, Jan Willem; Banerjee, Abhishek; Sawssen, Slimani; Bachhar, Nirmalya; Peddis, Davide; Bandyopadhyay, Sulalit (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      To monitor and manage hydrological systems such as brooks, streams, rivers, the use of tracers is a well-established process. Limited number of potential tracers such as salts, isotopes and dyes, make study of hydrological ...
    • Size-dependent mechanical behavior of nanoscale polymer particles through coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulation 

      Zhao, Junhua; Nagao, Shijo; Odegard, Gregory; Zhang, Zhiliang; Kristiansen, Helge; He, Jianying (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Anisotropic conductive adhesives (ACAs) are promising materials used for producing ultra-thin liquid-crystal displays. Because the mechanical response of polymer particles can have a significant impact in the performance ...
