Rugg

National Science Foundation Scholar, Performed Non-peer reviewed work substantiating the claim CuHARs can selectively kill glioma, Partial inventor of the Co-MOB

CuHARs

Copper sulfate, NaOH, Cystiene not Cystine, water, STP

Halloysites

A clay mineral formation of silica and alumina that forms a long lumen (imagine a wood shaving tube spiraling on itself or a croissant)

Hydrogels

Substances that can hold multiple times their weight in liquids, typically water.

Target Drug Delivery

The concept of selectively treating the target site/ regions of interest at a higher rate than passive circulation means

Delayed dosage

releasing a medical treatment over an extended period of time as opposed to the treatment reacting all simultaneously.

MOB (Metallic Organic Biohybrid)

The larger class in which CuHARs belong but may have alternate constituents. Not to be confused with a MOF, metallic organic framework.

Polymers

A series of chemical subunits known as monomers connected to each other

Thermosetting Plastic

The plastic can be easily recast.

Thermoplastic

Plastics that cannot easily be reshaped and recast.

Additive Manufacturing

The process of adding material until the final design is achieved. (3D printing, Metal printing, gel printing, painting, paper mache, layer by layer self-assembly)

Ceramics

The oldest form of nanotech, by selectively heating the materials we can organize and pattern the molecules.

Dentistry

The oldest form of biomedical engineering

Sintering

Heating materials together until they fuse, heating metal/ clay powders to fuse (glass welding)

LCD

Liquid crystal display (anisotropic vs. isotropic)

Amalgam

A mixture of mercury (Hg) and other metals to form an extractable slurry, old dental technology, commonly used in human rights violations works such as tech smelting and illegal mining operations in poorer regions.

Miscell

A form of nanotechnology and self-assembling microstructures (micellular water)

Buckyballs

A class of fullerene that is 99.999% carbon and is the purest substance known to man, has potential as a targeted drug delivery vessel

Semiconductors

Made of 99.99999% Silicon formed via the Krasinski process; Doped with Phosphorus and Boron, although other combinations are possible, uses complex math, design noted as n-type and p-type wafers

Rugg’s Thesis

Impact of biodegradable materials on healthy and diseased brain cells: function and viability

What are some things that what Rugg researched could do?

Kill Cancer cells, angiogenesis, and kill bacteria

Angiogenesis

the process of forming new blood vessels

MOF

metallic organic framework

allotropes

If I take the same atoms and rearrange them into a different molecule, giving it a different molecule, what is the group of structures called? each of two or more different physical forms in which an element can exist. Graphite, charcoal, and diamond

Monomers

a polymer is composed of many what?

Targeted Drug Delivery

What do halloysites, MOBs, and Buckyballs have in common

Phosphorus and Boron

Semiconductors start as silicon wafers, and we add what two metals?

Mercury (Hg)

What is amalgams primary metal

Hydrogel

What’s the best material to put underground to hold on to water?

Micelle formation

Micellular water is from a process called…
