Emulsion-templated silica nanocapsules formed using bio-inspired silicification.
A novel, bio-inspired templating platform technology is reported for the synthesis of biocompatible oil-core silica-shell nanocapsules with tunable shell thickness by utilizing a designed bifunctional peptide. Furthermore, facile encapsulation of an active molecule and its sustained release are demonstrated.
متن کاملPolyelectrolyte multilayer capsules as vehicles with tunable permeability.
This review is devoted to a novel type of polymer micro- and nanocapsules. The shell of the capsule is fabricated by alternate adsorption of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (PEs) onto the surface of colloidal particles. Cores of different nature (organic or inorganic) with size varied from 0.1 to 10 mum can be used for templating such PE capsules. The shell thickness can be tuned in nanomet...
متن کاملSequential activation and deactivation of protein function using spectrally differentiated caged phosphoamino acids.
Photolabile caging groups, including the 1-(2-nitrophenyl)ethyl (NPE) group, have been applied to probe many biological processes, including protein phosphorylation. Although studies with NPE-caged phosphoamino acids have provided valuable information, these investigations have been limited to the use of only one caged species in a single experiment. To expand the scope of these tools, we have ...
متن کاملCO2-breathing and piercing polymersomes as tunable and reversible nanocarriers.
Despite numerous studies on utilizing polymeric vesicles as nanocapsules, fabrication of tunable molecular pathways on transportable vesicle walls remains challenging. Traditional methods for building penetrated channels on vesicular membrane surface often involve regulating the solvent polarity or photo-cross-linking. Herein, we developed a neat, green approach of stimulation by using CO2 gas ...
متن کاملHollow chitosan/alginate nanocapsules for bioactive compound delivery.
This work aimed at the development of biodegradable nanocapsules as carriers of two bioactive compounds, 5-aminosalycilic acid and glycomacropeptide. Nanocapsules were produced through layer-by-layer (LbL) deposition of chitosan (CH) and alginate (ALG) layers on polystyrene nanoparticles. The bioactive compounds were incorporated on the third layer of the nanocapsules being its encapsulation ef...
