Self-Assembling Siloxane Nanoparticles with Three Phases
Inorganic nanometer-sized particles (nanoparticles) are attracting attention as reinforcing fillers for use in polymer-nanoparticle composites (nanocomposites) because they improve key characteristics of these composites at a relatively low content (Hussain et al., 2006, Jordan et al., 2005). For example, clay nanoparticles (Usuki et al, 2005), metal oxide nanoparticles such as silica (Rosso et...
متن کاملEncapsulation of gold nanoparticles into self-assembling protein nanoparticles
BACKGROUND Gold nanoparticles are useful tools for biological applications due to their attractive physical and chemical properties. Their applications can be further expanded when they are functionalized with biological molecules. The biological molecules not only provide the interfaces for interactions between nanoparticles and biological environment, but also contribute their biological func...
متن کاملCould sun exposure improve melanoma survival?
Solar ultraviolet radiation (UVR) exposure is clearly associated with increased mortality from non-melanoma skin cancer – usually squamous cell carcinoma. However, the association with cutaneous melanoma is unclear from the evidence in ecologic studies, and the few analytic studies that have been published show that high levels of intermittent UV exposure prior to diagnosis are associated with ...
متن کاملAssembling and positioning latex nanoparticles via controlled evaporative self-assembly†
By capitalizing on a simple, robust, and fast approach based on controlled evaporative self-assembly in a cylinder-on-flat geometry, two kinds of polystyrene (PS) latex nanoparticles with different diameters (i.e., D 1⁄4 50 nm and 500 nm, respectively) were deposited on the Si substrate, forming ordered ‘‘coffee rings’’ composed of PS nanoparticles. Within a ‘‘coffee ring’’, the packing of PS n...
متن کاملSelf-assembling protein nanoparticles in the design of vaccines
For over 100 years, vaccines have been one of the most effective medical interventions for reducing infectious disease, and are estimated to save millions of lives globally each year. Nevertheless, many diseases are not yet preventable by vaccination. This large unmet medical need demands further research and the development of novel vaccines with high efficacy and safety. Compared to the 19th ...
