Vasicek, Thaddeus W.; Kress, Patrick M.; Jenkins, Samir V. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2020
Nanoscale phenomena are under increasingly intense investigation both in academia and industry. The unique physical and chemical properties stemming from their high surface area and confined space lead to properties that are distinct from atomic and bulk materials. Students need experience in nanoscience to enter this growing field of nanoscience…

Jenkins, Samir V.; Gohman, Taylor D.; Miller, Emily K.; Chen, Jingyi – Journal of Chemical Education, 2015
The rapid academic and industrial development of nanotechnology has led to its implementation in laboratory teaching for undergraduate-level chemistry and engineering students. This laboratory experiment introduces the galvanic replacement reaction for synthesis of hollow metal nanoparticles and investigates the optical properties of these…

Dorney, Kevin M.; Baker, Joshua D.; Edwards, Michelle L.; Kanel, Sushil R.; O'Malley, Matthew; Pavel Sizemore, Ioana E. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2014
Numerous nanoparticle (NP) fabrication methodologies employ "bottom-up" syntheses, which may result in heterogeneous mixtures of NPs or may require toxic capping agents to reduce NP polydispersity. Tangential flow filtration (TFF) is an alternative "green" technique for the purification, concentration, and size-selection of…

Lyman, Benjamin M.; Farmer, Orrin J.; Ramsey, Ryan D.; Lindsey, Samuel T.; Stout, Stephanie; Robison, Adam; Moore, Holly J.; Sanders, Wesley C. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2012
A cost-effective, hands-on laboratory exercise is described for demonstrating nanoscale fabrication at non-research-based educational institutions. The laboratory exercise also contains a component involving qualitative and quantitative surface characterization of student-fabricated nanoscale structures at institutions with on-site access to an…
