A dual-functional benzobisthiadiazole derivative as an effective theranostic agent for near-infrared photoacoustic imaging and photothermal therapy by Huang, Shuo, Upputuri, Paul Kumar, Liu, Hui, Pramanik, Manojit, Wang, Mingfeng

“…Herein, we report a theranostic agent based on a narrow-­‐bandgap small molecule, benzo[1,2-c;4,5-c’]bis[1,2,5]thiadiazole-4,7-bis(9,9-dioctyl-9H-­fluoren-­2-yl)thiophene (denoted as BBT-2FT), with strong absorption of near infrared (NIR) light. Colloidal nanoparticles composed of BBT­‐2FT show photoacoustic signal intensity 10 times higher than that of blood, and high photothermal conversion efficiency (η=40%) under irradiation of 800-nm laser light that kills over 90% HeLa cells in 10 mins.…”

Resistive switching devices based on halide perovskites by Cheong, Cheng Hao

“…After using EDS analysis on the particles, a discovery made was that the particles are undissolved precursor colloids which may explain the poor I-V characteristic curve as the particles may exhibit unusual behavior and due to the poor solubility of the precursor resulting the crystallization of the perovskites to be limited hence, causing poor coverage and reduced thickness of the film. …”

Computational analysis and chemical mechanical polishing for manufacturing of optical components by Nguyen, Nhu Y

“…In the polishing of optical components, a new approach has been applied, including two phases: phase one is using the fixed abrasive pad with abrasive-free slurry and phase two is using the soft pad (the fabric cloth pad) with colloidal silica slurry. This process has created a better uniformity surface with lower surface roughness. …”
