Complement activation and protein adsorption by carbon nanotubes.
As a first step to validate the use of carbon nanotubes as novel vaccine or drug delivery devices, their interaction with a part of the human immune system, complement, has been explored. Haemolytic assays were conducted to investigate the activation of the human serum complement system via the classical and alternative pathways. Western blot and sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel elect...
متن کاملBarium Titanate Nanoparticles in Block Copolymer
Cubic BaTiO3 particles of∼10 nm were crystallized predominantly within the hydroxylated polybutadiene matrix of a phase separated triblock copolymeric thin film of polystyrene-polybutadiene-polystyrene (Kraton D1102). The barium titanated Kraton thin film had remnants of the cylindrical morphology of a plain Kraton thin film with an interdomain spacing of ∼23 nm. The procedure of barium titanat...
متن کاملFormulation of temozolomide by folic acid-conjugated tri-block copolymer nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery
Introduction: Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is the most frequent primary malignant tumor of the brain. But, the treatment of GBM is one of the most problems in cancer therapy because of poor drug penetration across the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Targeting drug delivery system and conjugating targeting moieties was recognized to overcome the poor penetration of chemotherapy drug...
متن کاملCreating surfactant nanoparticles for block copolymer composites through surface chemistry.
A simple strategy to tailor the surface of nanoparticles for their specific adsorption to and localization at block copolymer interfaces was explored. Gold nanoparticles coated by a mixture of low molecular weight thiol end-functional polystyrene (PS-SH) (Mn = 1.5 and 3.4 kg/mol) and poly(2-vinylpyridine) homopolymers (P2VP-SH) (Mn = 1.5 and 3.0 kg/mol) were incorporated into a lamellar poly(st...
متن کاملConcentrically Layered Energy Equilibria of the Di-Block Copolymer Problem
We prove the existence of energy equilibria of the di-block copolymer problem in the unit disk. They consist of concentrically layered microdomains rich in one of the two monomer building units. We construct them by solving the proper singular limit of the free energy functional. The same limit also explains how under a dynamic law of the free energy, circular interfaces of non-equilibria may m...
