A polymeric fastener can easily functionalize liposome surfaces with gadolinium for enhanced magnetic resonance imaging.
Common methods of loading magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents into nanoparticles often suffer from challenges related to particle formation, complex chemical modification/purification steps, and reduced contrast efficiency. This study presents a simple, yet advanced process to address these issues by loading gadolinium, an MRI contrast agent, exclusively on a liposome surface using...
متن کاملSortase A as a tool to functionalize surfaces.
A widely accepted approach to combat surface fouling is based on the prevention of biofoulants to attach to a surface by the functionalization with poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). The goal of this study was to generate a proof of concept for the enzymatic coupling of PEG to a peptide precoated surface by using the enzyme Sortase A (SrtA). A hydrophobic polystyrene surface was primed with anchoring...
متن کاملSurface Tracking on Polymeric Insulators Used in Electrical Transmission Lines
Polymeric insulators need proper management and maintenance. Without proper management, the electric devices can be affected by factors such as leakages in the electricity system. In outdoor insulation, the environment subjects the material to a variety of stresses simultaneously that can lead to rapid degradation and loss of the insulation properties. Contamination of the surface of the insula...
متن کاملThermal Contact Resistance of Wavy Surfaces (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this paper, the method of determining thermal contact resistance of wavy surfaces is discussed exactly. For determining the thermal contact resistance of real contacts, a new method has been presented. In this method, assuming a regular sinusoidal surface profile, the real contact area in terms of applied forces has been determined. Then thermal contact resistance has been calculated. Testin...
متن کاملVideokeratography for quantitative surface analysis of used soft contact lenses.
The greater utilization of soft contact lenses calls for the development of new and objective methods of evaluating the optical performance of the different lens types, in situ. We used videokeratography to examine the surface topography of soft contact lenses that had been worn for more than 1 year on 27 eyes of 23 patients, and compared the resulting color-coded maps and topographic indices a...
