چکیده

Scalable methods, PRINT particle fabrication, and spray-assisted Layer-by-Layer deposition are combined to generate uniform and functional nanotechnologies with precise control over composition, size, shape, and surface functionality. A modular and tunable approach towards design of built-to-order nanoparticle systems, spray coating on PRINT particles is demonstrated to achieve technologies capable of targeted interactions with cancer cells for applications in drug delivery.

Protein and Lactose Separation by Modified Ultrafiltration Membrane using Layer by Layer Technique

Layer-by-Layer (LbL) is a method which can be used for nanoscale coating and surface functionalization of a material. LbL technique mainly uses the electrostatic attracting between charged materials (polyelectrolytes, nanoparticles, etc.) and an oppositely charged surface. In this study, protein separation (BSA) from lactose solution was carried out using the LbL self-assembly method, which was...

Spray-dried powders enhance vaginal siRNA delivery by potentially modulating the mucus molecular sieve structure

Vaginal small interfering RNA (siRNA) delivery provides a promising strategy for the prevention and treatment of vaginal diseases. However, the densely cross-linked mucus layer on the vaginal wall severely restricts nanoparticle-mediated siRNA delivery to the vaginal epithelium. In order to overcome this barrier and enhance vaginal mucus penetration, we prepared spray-dried powders containing s...

Challenging nature's monopoly on the creation of well-defined nanoparticles.

Nature has selected and fine-tuned the physical and chemical properties of natural objects, such as size, shape, mechanical properties and surface chemistry, at the molecular level in order to modulate biological functions. A new particle fabrication process, particle replication in nonwetting templates (PRINT), has recently begun to attempt to emulate nature's ability to control those physical...

Insight into the Boundary Layer Flows of Free Convection and Heat Transfer of Nanofluids over a Vertical Plate using Multi-Step Differential Transformation Method

This paper presents an insight into the boundary layer of free convection and heat transfer of nanofluids over a vertical plate at very low and high Prandtl number. Suitable similarity variables are used to convert the governing systems of nonlinear partial differential equations of the flow and heat transfer to systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations which are solved using multi-s...
