Development of Surface-Coated Polylactic Acid/Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PLA/PHA) Nanocomposites

Evaluation of Ibuprofen Release from Gelatin /Hydroxyapatite /Polylactic Acid Nanocomposites

Gelatin-hydroxyapatite-polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposites were synthesized using five different formulations. The nanocomposites were loaded with ibuprofen and the amount of drug in the carriers was determined. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis was conducted before and after drug loading to ensure the presence of ibuprofen on the nanocomposites. Drug delivery was evaluated in phosphate buffere...

Green nanocomposites of polylactic acid reinforced with isolated nanocellulose

Excellent microwave absorption property of Graphene-coated Fe nanocomposites

Graphene has evoked extensive interests for its abundant physical properties and potential applications. It is reported that the interfacial electronic interaction between metal and graphene would give rise to charge transfer and change the electronic properties of graphene, leading to some novel electrical and magnetic properties in metal-graphene heterostructure. In addition, large specific s...

Polymer – Coated Ferrite Nanocomposites Synthesized by Plasma Polymerization

Magnetic nanocomposites are an important class of advanced functional materials on the basis of a magnetic material and a matrix. To achieve unique mechanical, physical, chemical, and biomedical properties, one must be able to tailor only the surface structures of a nanoparticle. This requires the deposition of ultrathin and uniform films using the possibility offered by cold-plasma polymerisat...

Lipid-coated gold nanocomposites for enhanced cancer therapy

The aim of the work reported here was to develop lipid-coated multifunctional nanocomposites composed of drugs and nanoparticles for use in cancer therapy. We incorporated thermosensitive phospholipids onto the surface of anisotropic gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to further enhance drug delivery, with possible additional applications for in vivo imaging and photothermal cancer therapy. Lipid-coate...
