CTS-9500156 ABSTRACT A laser light scattering apparatus which will be purchase, and will be primarily utilized for a project on the production and characterization of the properties of a variety of inorganic nanoparticles. New aqueous colloidal processing technique that utilizes intravesicular reactions to produce batches of nanometer sized inorganic particles have been developed. The objectives are better understanding and controlling the particle formation technique, and understanding the properties of the nanoparticles. The small size of the particles could dramatically alter electron wave functions, leading to 'quantum' size effects. Furthermore, particles in this size range contain mostly 'surface' atoms (bond lengths and mobilities for these atoms can differ from that in bulk), leading to a large impact on the properties of these particles. This apparatus will also be used to characterize a variety of surface functionalized magnetic nanoclusters that are being used in a magnetic immunoabsorption technique for cell and plasmid separations, obtain accurate size distributions in magnetic colloidal preparations so that neutron and X-ray scattering data on the same sample can be interpreted properly, as well as monitor kinetics of tubulin assembly/disassembly in response to the environmental toxin cadmium. ***

CTS-9500156摘要 将购买的激光散射装置，将主要用于各种无机纳米颗粒的生产和特性表征项目。 新型的水相胶体加工技术，利用囊内反应制备纳米级无机粒子。 目的是更好地理解和控制颗粒形成技术，并了解纳米颗粒的性质。 粒子的小尺寸可以极大地改变电子波函数，导致“量子”尺寸效应。 此外，该尺寸范围内的颗粒主要包含“表面”原子（这些原子的键长和迁移率可能与本体不同），导致对这些颗粒的性质产生很大影响。 该装置还将用于表征各种表面功能化的磁性纳米团簇，其用于细胞和质粒分离的磁性免疫吸收技术中，在磁性胶体制剂中获得准确的尺寸分布，使得相同样品上的中子和X射线散射数据可以被正确解释，以及响应于环境毒素镉的微管蛋白组装/拆卸的监测动力学。 ***
