ABSTRACT

His talk gives an overview of the aggregation of NPs and describing this process quantitatively, as the aggregation greatly influences the transport, fate, bioavailability and toxicity of NPs. In this presentation, he will provide a comprehensive understanding of nanotoxicity including: (1) the aggregation kinetics of NPs through assessment of the effect of solution chemistries and modeling approaches; (2) the ion release behavior of certain NPs; and (3) reactive oxygen species (ROS) production of NPs.
