Sampling, Identification and Characterization of Microplastics Release from Polypropylene Baby Feeding Bottle during Daily Use
Xiao, Liwen; Boland, John; Gounko, Iouri; Li, Dunzhu (2021)Microplastics (MPs) are becoming a global concern due to the potential risk to human health. Case studies of plastic products (i.e., plastic single-use cups and kettles) indicate that MP release during daily use can be ... -
Self-Assembled Two-Dimensional Supramolecular Networks Characterized by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Spectroscopy in Air and under Vacuum
Naydenov, Borislav; Boland, John (2018)We combine ambient (air) and ultrahigh vacuum (UHV) scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and spectroscopy (STS) investigations together with density functional theory (DFT) calculations to gain a subnanometer insight into ... -
Solvent-Engineered Stress in Nanoscale Materials?
Boland, John (2018)Nanoscale materials are frequently coated with surface stabilisation layers during growth that prevent flocculation in solution and facilitate processing technologies such ink-jet device printing. Here, we show that ... -
Switching at the contacts in Ge9Sb1Te5 phase-change nanowire devices
Boland, John; Alialy, Sahar; Gabriel, Michelle; Davitt, Fionan; Holmes, Justin (2019)Phase-change random access memory is a promising approach to non-volatile memory. However, the inability to secure consistent, reliable switching on a nanometre scale may limit its practical use for high density applications. ... -
Transparent, Flexible Silicon Nanostructured Wire Networks with Seamless Junctions for High-Performance Photodetector Applications
Boland, John; Mc Closkey, David (2018)Optically transparent photodetectors are crucial in next-generation optoelectronic applications including smart windows and transparent image sensors. Designing photodetectors with high transparency, photoresponsivity, and ... -
Tuning the Electro-Optical Properties of Nanowire Networks
Boland, John; Sheerin, Emmet; Manning, Hugh G.; Ferreira, Mauro S. (2021)Conductive and transparent metallic nanowire networks are regarded as promising alternatives to Indium–Tin–Oxides (ITOs) in emerging flexible next-generation technologies due to their prominent optoelectronic properties ... -
Wedge disclination description of emergent core-shifted grain boundaries at free surfaces
Boland, John (2023)Emergent grain boundaries at free surface control material properties such as nanomaterial strength, catalysis, and corrosion. Recently the restructuring of emergent boundaries on copper (111) surfaces was discovered ...
