We report here facile preparation of stabilized polymeric nanotubes with a hair-like shell using yttrium hydroxide nanotubes as the sacrificial template and block copolymer micelles as the precursor, and orientation of the polymeric nanotubes encapsulating magnetic particles under magnetic field.

Ruthenium coordination compounds have demonstrated a promising anticancer and antibacterial activity, but their poor water solubility low stability under physiological conditions may limit therapeutic applications. Physical encapsulation or covalent conjugation with polymers overcome these drawbacks, generally involve multistep reactions purification processes. In this work, the activity of pol...

Nowadays the application of nanotechnology in different biomedical fields such as drug delivery is increasing due to its unique advantages. With this in mind, it is widely believed that nanogels as the nanometer-sized networked polymeric particles have a considerable impact on drug delivery systems as biocompatible nanocarriers due to their unique characteristics such as high loading capacity, ...

La2O2SO4 nanoceramic was synthesized via sol-gel method using lanthanum nitrate and thioacetamid as precursors and stearic acid as polymeric precursor. The characterization studies were conducted by X-ray diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The result showed that the synthesized sample belongs to monoclinic structure with the average sizes between...

This article presents a new method for fabricating highly conductive gold nanostructures within a polymeric matrix with subwavelength resolution. The nanostructures are directly written in a gold precursor-doped photoresist using a femtosecond pulsed laser. The laser energy is absorbed by a two-photon dye, which induces simultaneous reduction of gold in the precursor and polymerization of the n...
