In this experiment, we developed a novel safe and effective gene delivery vector coated with γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA-coated complexes). The γ-PGA-coated complex was composed of chiseled spherical nano-particles with anionic charges. The plasmid DNA/polyethyleneimine complex (non-coated complex) showed high transgene efficiency in the spleen and lung after intravenous administration in mice, ...

To investigate non-bonded interaction of Phenanthrene and BN nanostructure, geometric structure of Phenanthrene and B12N12 nano-ring with B3LYP method and 6-31g* basis set are optimized by using ab initio gaussian quantum chemical package. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate changes of electronic properties of aromatic compound in presences Nano ring field. Therefore reactivity and s...

the nano-cry zeolite synthesized and characterized by fourier transfer infrared (ft-ir), x-ray diffraction (xrd),and scanning electron microscopy (sem).the result show that nano catalyst prepared with mainly particles size about 30-80 nm .the xrd show the structure of the zeolite does not collapse. this nano-cry zeolite has been used as new, and nontoxic catalyst for catalyzes of synthesis of 2...

the synthesis of nano- structured cobalt through a controlled chemical process followed by heat treating at various temperatures is studied. the product is characterized by icp, xrd, fesem , and tem, indicating that the as- synthesized particles have an amorphous structure with 1.76 for co/b ratio, an average size of 50 nm. the transformation of intermediate phases into single phase nano- cryst...

Exciton quenching dynamics has been systematically studied in pristine P3HT and nano phase separated P3HT/PCBM blend films under various excitation intensities by femtosecond fluorescence up-conversion technique. The behaviors of excitons in the films can be well described by a three-dimensional diffusion model. The small diffusion length and large charge transfer radius indicate that excitons ...

a new nano-sized lead(ii) coordination polymer, [pb(2-bpdh)(no3)2]n (1); (2-bpdh = 2,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-3,4-diaza-2,4-hexadiene)}, was synthesized by a sonochemical method. the structure of 1 may be considered coordination polymer of lead(ii) consist of metallocyclicchains formed by bridging no3- and 2-bpdh ligands. the thermal stability of compound was studied by thermal gravimetric and differen...

The in-situ nano-crystal-to-crystal transformation (SCCT) synthesis provides a powerful approach for tailoring controllable feature shapes and sizes of nano crystals. In this work, three nitrogen-rich energetic nano-crystals based on 5,5'-azotetrazolate(AZT2-) Cr(III) salts were synthesized by means of SCCT methodology. SEM and TEM analyses show that the energetic nano-crystals feature a compos...

The nano iron oxides have been synthesized by almost all the known wet chemical methods which include precipitation at ambient/elevated temperatures, surfactant mediation, emulsion/micro-emulsion, electro-deposition etc. Iron oxides in nano-scale have exhibited great potential for their applications as catalytic materials, wastewater treatment adsorbents, pigments, flocculants, coatings, gas se...

The potential immune effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nano-TiO₂) are raising concern. Our previous study verified that nano-TiO₂ induce local immune response in lung tissue followed by intratracheal instillation administration. In this study, we aim to evaluate the systemic immune effects of nano-TiO₂. Sprague Dawley rats were treated by intratracheal instillation with nano-TiO₂ at do...
