A comparison of catabolic pathways induced in primary macrophages by pristine single walled carbon nanotubes and pristine graphene
COLEMAN, JONATHAN; NICOLOSI, VALERIA; VOLKOV, YURI; O'NEILL, LUKE; MCGOVERN, IGNATIUS; NERL, HANNAH; DUESBERG, GEORG; MCEVOY, NIALL (2016)Understanding the correlation between the physico-chemical properties of carbonaceous nanomaterials and how these properties impact on cells and subcellular mechanisms is critical to their risk assessment and safe translation ... -
Improving the mechanical properties of graphene oxide based materials by covalent attachment of polymer chains
KHAN, UMAR; O'NEILL, ARLENE; MCGOVERN, IGNATIUS; COLEMAN, JONATHAN (2013)We report on the modification of graphene oxide (GO) with polyvinylalcohol (PVA) leading to the mechanical improvement of GO based materials. First, GO was covalently functionalised with PVA by esterification of carboxylic ... -
Oxygen radical functionalization of boron nitride nanosheets
MAY, PETER; COLEMAN, JONATHAN; MCGOVERN, IGNATIUS; GOUNKO, IOURI; SATTI, AMRO (2012)The covalent chemical functionalization of exfoliated hexagonal boron-nitride nanosheets (BNNSs) is achieved by the solution phase oxygen radical functionalization of boron atoms in the h-BN lattice. This involves a two-step ... -
Transport and optical gaps and energy band alignment at organic-inorganic interfaces
MCGOVERN, IGNATIUS (2013)The transport and optical band gaps for the organic semiconductor tin (II) phthalocyanine (SnPc) and the complete energy band profiles have been determined for organic-inorganic interfaces between SnPc and III-V semiconductors. ...
