Nanomanufacturing of biomaterials Yoni Engel, Jessica D. Schiffman, Julie M. Goddard, and Vincent M. Rotello
Vincent Rotello and colleagues review a few of the many important objectives
in the area of biomedical engineering that could open new pathways for next
generation biomaterials; providing examples of how materials for these goals
can be created in an economically viable means through recent advances in
high throughput production.
Mechanical behavior of emerging materials Challapalli Suryanarayana
Nanocrystalline and glassy materials, especially the bulk metallic glasses
are of relatively recent origin and exhibit high strength, but lack sufficient
plasticity. Challapalli Suryanarayana looks at results on strength, ductility, and
deformation behavior of these novel materials.
Controlling peptide based hydrogelation Huaimin Wang, Zhimou Yang, and Dave J. Adams
Hydrogels can be formed by the self-assembly of certain small molecules.
Many of these hydrogelating molecules assemble under specific conditions
into nanofibers. Dave Adams and colleagues examines different methods
available to trigger gel formation.
Quantum dots for next-generation photovoltaics Octavi E. Semonin Joseph M. Luther, and Matthew C. Beard
Colloidal quantum-confined semiconductor nanostructures are an emerging
class of functional material that are being developed for novel solar energy
conversion strategies. Beard et al. discuss the current status of research efforts
towards utilizing the unique properties of colloidal quantum dots for solar
photon conversion.
