Nano-structured Chitosan Self-aggregates as a Drug Delivery Carrier

Colloidal delivery systems including polymeric selfaggregates have been widely investigated to date, as these formulations may reduce unwanted side effects and may improve the therapeutic effects. Various characteristics of self-aggregates prepared from deoxycholic acid-modified chitosan were investigated by fluorescence spectroscopic and dynamic light scattering methods, and found to be contro...

Formation of Nano Domains in Alkyltrichlorosilane Self-assembled Monolayers Deposited on Silicon : Application to Molecular Electronics

Size reduction of electronics devices makes essential controlling the preparation of size-defined nanostructures. Today, limits of conventional lithography techniques as well as their costs are major obstacles to get over in order to go further in the integration of electronics chips. A promising solution consists in using molecular self-assembly. We present a non lithographic approach for prep...

Automatic hammering of nano-patterns on special polymer film by using a vibrating AFM tip

Complicated nano-patterns with linewidth less than 18 nm can be automatically hammered by using atomic force microscopy (AFM) tip in tapping mode with high speed. In this study, the special sample was thin poly(styrene-ethylene/butylenes-styrene) (SEBS) block copolymer film with hexagonal spherical microstructures. An ordinary silicon tip was used as a nano-hammer, and the entire hammering proc...

Formation of size-controlled nano carrier systems by self-assembly.

Nano carrier systems were prepared by forming self-assembled liposomes having a size distribution in the nano range through use of an ultrasonic homogenizer. Phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol were utilized as an amphiphilic compound and a shape stabilizer, respectively. The size of prepared samples was decreased (up to 150 nm) by elevating ratio of lecithin and extending homogenization time (...
