Syracuse University
Syracuse University's research interests touch on a number of areas of interest to nanoscale organic and inorganic materials scientists. Key Interest Areasincluding design of radiopharmaceuticals; study of the mechanisms of action of metals and metal ions in bioorganisms; the development of precursors for the chemical vapor deposition of metallic layers for the electronics industry; assembly of nanoparticles for drug delivery and biological imaging; and a variety of single-atom manipulation techniques and the versatile chemistry of main group elements with application in catalysis and the design of f element complexes for luminescence applications. Facilities and Resources Syracuse University's facilities include the latest research equipment, including an ultrafast laser laboratory, several high-resolution spectrophotometers and fluorimeters, differential scanning calorimetry, thermo-gravimetric analysis, electrochemical analyzers, HPLC systems, circular dichroism, IR and Raman spectrometers, as well as GC-MS and LC-MS. We also have access to transmission and scanning electron microscopes on campus. |

The discovery could open new horizons in the emerging sector of nanoscale drug delivery.
DoE's Savannah River Lab Explores 'Microballoon'Researchers at the Department of Energy’s Savannah River National Lab (Westerville, Ohio) have developed porous glass ‘microballoons’ that can be affixed with nanoscale pores to provide a number of intriguing possibilities for carrying volatile materials across long distances safely.
A Novel Nanocomposite Material for Biomedical ApplicationsThis project is designed to examine multi-walled CNTs, reinforced with PMMA/HAp nanocomposite, to serve as a novel bone cement material, along with other biomedical purposes. This session reviews improvements to Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) -- used now in and paints and plexiglass, can enhance CNTs for nanobio use. CNT improvement via hydroxyapatite (HAp) is also investigated. The work was conducted by a multi-national team of researchers from Centre for Mechanical Technology & Automation, University of Aveiro (Portugal); University Louis Pasteur, Strasbourg (France): and Georgia Institute of Technology, Materials Science and Engineering, Atlanta, GA (U.S.)
