Double immunofluorescence microscopy reveals that epidermal growth factor (EGF) treatment of A431 cells results in more apparent co-localization of EGF receptor (EGFR) and actin filaments, as compared to control cells. This indicates that EGF induces actin polymerization as well as additional association of the EGFR with similar sites on the membrane-skeleton. We show that immunoprecipitation o...

Magnetic pH-sensitive microcontainers were produced by a four-step process. The first step involves the synthesis of citrate-modified magnetic nanoparticles via the coprecipitation method. The second step consists of the encapsulation of magnetic nanoparticles in non-cross-linked poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) microspheres through distillation precipitation polymerization, resulting in a core/sh...

As a facile method to prepare hydrophilic polymeric microspheres, reflux precipitation polymerization has been widely used for preparation of polymer nanogels. In this article, we synthesized a phthalamide-protected N-aminooxy methyl acrylamide (NAMAm-p) for preparation of alkoxyamine-functionalized polymer composite microspheres via reflux precipitation polymerization. The particle size and fu...

In this work, precipitation polymerization was used to prepare uniform and stable molecular imprinting polymers (MIPs) particles without post treatment. Melamine was used as a template molecule model, while methacrylic acid, divinyl benzene (DVB) or ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) and acetonitrile were used as functional monomer, cross-linker and continuous phase, respectively. The polym...
