Functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are of great interest due to wide range
applications, especially in nanomedicine. However, they face challenges preventing their …

The climate models of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change list black carbon
(BC) as an important contributor to global warming based on its radiative forcing (RF) …

Soot from jet fuel combustion in aircraft engines contributes to global warming through the
formation of contrail cirrus clouds that make up to 56% of the total radiative forcing from …

Soot aggregates form as open, fractal-like structures, but aged atmospheric particles are
often observed to be restructured into more-compact shapes due to internal mixing …

The impact of organic carbon (OC) on the light absorption of soot is determined by discrete
element modeling coupled with the discrete dipole approximation for computing the …

Plasmon rulers relate the shift of resonance wavelength, λl, of gold agglomerates to the
average distance, s, between their constituent nanoparticles. These rulers are essential for …

The increasing prevalence of coal mine dust-related lung diseases in coal miners calls for
urgent and meticulous scrutiny of airborne respirable coal mine dust (RCMD), specifically …

The outreach of nanoparticle-based medical treatments has been severely hampered due to
the imbalance between the efforts in designing extremely complex materials and the general …

For over a century, gas-phase (aerosol) technology has enabled manufacture of
nanostructured commodities (ie carbon black, fumed oxides and metals) at high …

It is well-known that interaction of hydrophobic powders with water is weak, and upon
mixing, they typically form separated phases. Preparation of hydrophobic nanosilica AM1 …
