in this work, we report on the synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles at room temperature using microemulsion template phase consisting of cyclohexane, water, ctab as cationic surfactant and butanol as a cosurfactant. surface modification have been carried out by using poly(ethyleneglycol) (peg). the structure,morphology, and magnetic properties of the products were characteriz...

An overview of the available methods to functionalize dinitrogen with boron reagents using transition metal complexes is given.

A new approach inspired by fluorescent labeling technology to fluorescently functionalize MOFs via post-modification is reported. A fluorescein-containing MOF FITC@BTPY-NH(2) was synthesized for selective sensing and adsorption of Ag(+) in aqueous solution.

The first nucleic acid-directed catalytic photochemical reaction that is induced by nontoxic red light was developed. This reaction is fast, high yielding, sequence specific, and enables one to functionalize an oligonucleotide.

Cell-secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membranous particles highly heterogeneous in size and molecular cargo. Comprehensively, released EV sub-populations can show a wide range selection of different protein, RNA, lipid species, complementing cell communication signals. Recently, EVs represent new source for developing targeted delivery systems. stable biofluids, intrinsically biocompat...

A novel single-pot method to exfoliate and functionalize acetylene black is proposed. The deliberate functionalization was found to enhance the intrinsic oxygen reduction efficiency along with the nucleation and growth of platinum nano-particles on the surface. The resulting material showed enormously high oxygen reduction reactivity compared to its commercial counterparts.

Micropatterning of cells can be used in combination with microposts to control cell shape or cell-to-cell interaction while measuring cellular forces. The protocols in this chapter describe how to make SU8 masters for stamps and microposts, how to use soft lithography to replicate these structures in polydimethylsiloxane, and how to functionalize the surface of the microposts for cell attachment.
