Project Title
|
Multi-modal toxicology and biohazard assessment of nanomaterials and their enabled products |
|
Summary
|
Nanomaterials and their enabled products are increasingly attracting global attention due to their unique physicochemical properties. However, because of the raising health and safety concerns, nano-products and their components require a rigorous toxicology and biohazard assessment. We have developed an in vitro, multi-modal, automated, simple, sensitive and robust experimental procedure to evaluate potential cytotoxicity that may be cause by nanomaterials and their enabled products. Utilizing this approach, we have analyzed the biocompatibility of silver nanowire based thin-films and various size silver nanowires on the cultured human cells. |
