Center for Functional Nanomaterials Seminar

"Applications of Synchrotron-Based Microspectroscopy to Ecotoxicology of Nanomaterials in Agroecosystems"

Presented by Prof. Jason M. Unrine, University of Kentucky

Tuesday, October 3, 2023, 2:00 pm — Bldg. 735, Seminar Room, 2nd Floor

Engineered nanomaterials have received much attention in agroecosystem sciences both out of concern from nanomaterials as contaminants as well as the application of nanomaterials in agrochemical formulations. The use of synchrotron-based X-ray micro/nano spectroscopy has been important part of the tool kit that has enabled researchers to better understand movement and transformations of nanomaterials in complex environmental media and biological components of agroecosystems. This presentation will present case studies highlighting how synchrotron-based techniques work in concert with other methods to provide insight into the fate and effects of nanomaterials in biological systems from an ecotoxicologist's perspective. In addition to the advantages of synchrotron-based techniques, challenges with respect to biological samples will also be discussed.
