The effects of post-fabrication annealing on the mechanical properties of freestanding nanoporous gold structures

Direct electron transfer of bilirubin oxidase (Myrothecium verrucaria) at an unmodified nanoporous gold biocathode

“…1B) [15]) combined with the high loadings of enzyme which were achieved by using vacuum to dry the electrode and then adsorb the enzyme. The use of heating to evaporate the solution in the pores was avoided in order to prevent further morphological changes in the electrode arising from thermal stresses [16].…”

Purification of Nucleic Acids in Microfluidic Devices

“…This approach has interesting potential to create nanoporous media in metals for chromatography. 42 Bisi et al set the stage by demonstrating that the pore size in silicon could be reasonably well controlled by the anodization conditions (HF concentration, etching time, and current density) and the thickness of the pore layer, which is inherently controlled by the etching process. 43,44 Using the silanol groups generated from a thermal oxidization step, the researchers achieved a DNA extraction efficiency of 83% with a 200 ng load of prepurified hemoglobin DNA.…”

Deformation Behavior of Nanoporous Metals

“…Other, experimentally more complex methods are pillar micro-compression tests [36,37] and film or beam bending tests. [16,35,38,39] Examples of nanoindentation and beam deflection tests are shown in Figure 5. In the case of nanoindentation, the yield strength is typically obtained by assuming that σ y ~ H as discussed above.…”
