Nanoparticle modification of microfluidic cell separation for cancer cell detection and isolation

We present a nanoparticle surface modification approach to improve the microfluidic performance in detecting cancer cells. Multiple cancer cell lines were included in this work, and the capture ability of the chip with surface modification reached a significant increase.

Impact of nanoparticle surface modification on the mechanical properties of polystyrene-based nanocomposites

A two-step modification strategy is applied to tailor the particle–matrix interface in zirconia nanoparticle–polystyrene composites, achieving strongly enhanced mechanical properties.
