Dynamical conductivity of lithium-intercalated hexagonal boron nitride films : A memory function approach

Rukelj, Zoran

In: Physical Review B, 2020, vol. 102, no. 20, p. 205108

This work is a study of dynamical conductivity of a quasi-two-dimensional heterostructure Li(BN)8. The conducting electrons have a free-electron-like parabolic dispersion and are assumed to scatter only on acoustic phonons. The approach used to derive the generalized Drude relation with frequency and temperature dependent relaxation consists of defining the induced current density as a...

An in vitro lung system to assess the proinflammatory hazard of carbon nanotube aerosols

Barosova, Hana ; Karakocak, Bedia Begum ; Septiadi, Dedy ; Petri-Fink, Alke ; Stone, Vicki ; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara

In: International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020, vol. 21, no. 15, p. 5335

In vitro three-dimensional (3D) lung cell models have been thoroughly investigated in recent years and provide a reliable tool to assess the hazard associated with nanomaterials (NMs) released into the air. In this study, a 3D lung co-culture model was optimized to assess the hazard potential of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs), which is known to provoke inflammation and fibrosis,...

Rapid and sensitive quantification of cell-associated multi-walled carbon nanotubes

Steinmetz, Lukas ; Bourquin, Joel ; Barosova, Hana ; Haeni, Laetitia ; Caldwell, Jessica ; Milosevic, Ana ; Geers, Christoph ; Bonmarin, Mathias ; Taladriz-Blanco, Patricia ; Rothen-Rutishauser, Barbara ; Petri-Fink, Alke

In: Nanoscale, 2020, vol. 12, no. 33, p. 17362–17372

Evaluating nanomaterial uptake and association by cells is relevant for in vitro studies related to safe-by-design approaches, nanomedicine or applications in photothermal therapy. However, standard analytical techniques are time-consuming, involve complex sample preparation or include labelling of the investigated sample system with e.g. fluorescent dyes. Here, we explore lock-in...

Revealing the role of epithelial mechanics and macrophage clearance during pulmonary epithelial injury recovery in the presence of carbon nanotubes

Septiadi, Dedy ; Abdussalam, Wildan ; Rodriguez‐Lorenzo, Laura ; Spuch‐Calvar, Miguel ; Bourquin, Joël ; Petri‐Fink, Alke ; Rothen‐Rutishauser, Barbara

In: Advanced Materials, 2018, vol. 30, no. 52, p. 1806181

Wound healing assays are extensively used to study tissue repair mechanisms; they are typically performed by means of physical (i.e., mechanical, electrical, or optical) detachment of the cells in order to create an open space in which live cells can lodge. Herein, an advanced system based on extensive photobleaching‐induced apoptosis; providing a powerful tool to understand the repair...
