  • CELLULOSE-CONTAINING FILTRATION MATERIALS AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20220081490
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a composition that includes a base layer having an outer surface and a first thickness and a material that includes a plurality of cellulose nanofibers in physical contact with the outer surface, where the composition has an average filtration efficiency of less than or equal to 90% for particles having a characteristic length between about 50 nm and about 100 ?m and the composition is characterized by an average inhalation resistance of less than or equal to 35 mm H2O as measured across the first thickness and the material.

  • Nanoscale porous gold film SERS template
    Patent number: 9593981
    Abstract: Provided are patterned nanoporous gold (“P-NPG”) films that may act as at least one of an effective and stable surface-enhanced Raman scattering (“SERS”) substrate. Methods of fabricating the P-NPG films using a low-cost stamping technique are also provided. The P-NPG films may provide uniform SERS signal intensity and SERS signal intensity enhancement by a factor of at least about 1×107 relative to the SERS signal intensity from a non-enhancing surface.
