Published: December 2004

Monodispersed Fe nanocrystals up to approximately 2 nm thick, approximately 50 nm wide and approximately 120 nm long have been electrodeposited from the ionic melt AlCl(3)-1-methyl-3-butylimidazolium chloride [AlCl3-[MBIm](+)Cl(-)] at room temperature on Au(111) and have been characterized in-situ by electrochemical scanning tunneling microscopy.

Recently, "Bacillus atrophaeus", which has a cell wall structure consisting of peptidoglycan layers, has attracted the attention of researchers due to its different usage areas. In particular, research focuses on the technology of obtaining bio‑hydrogen with various techniques. This research involves, for the first time, the use of the Bacillus atrophaeus bacteria as a bio-supporting material for monodisperse copper nanoparticles (CuNPs@Bacillus atrophaeus) and the manufacture of hydrogen through catalytic NaBH-methanolysis (SB-methanolysis) in the presence of the resulting nanoparticles.

Encapsulation of Oil Droplets Using Film-Forming Janus Nanoparticles.

Langmuir

January 2025

School of Chemistry, Key Centre for Polymers and Colloids, The University of Sydney, Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Australia.

Polymer Janus nanoparticles with one hard cross-linked polystyrene lobe and one soft film-forming poly(methyl methacrylate--butyl acrylate) lobe were synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT)-mediated emulsion polymerization. The Janus nanoparticles adsorbed to oil/water and air/water interfaces, where the soft lobes coalesced, forming films of thickness between 25 and 250 nm; droplets of silicone oil could be stably encapsulated in polymer in this way. When prepared by mechanical mixing without additives, capsules of diameter 5-500 μm could be prepared, and with additives and application of heat, capsules of diameter around 5 μm were achieved, even with highly viscous silicone oil (20,000 cSt).

Liposomes are highly beneficial nanocarrier systems due to their biocompatibility, low toxicity, and exceptional inclusiveness, which lead to improved drug bioavailability. For biological applications, accurate control over these nanoparticles' mean size and size distribution is essential. Micromixers facilitate the continuous production of liposomes, enhancing the precision of size regulation and reproducibility.

Monodisperse and colloidally stable magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been developed for diverse biotechnology applications. Although promising for the adsorption of organic molecules, the low density of adsorption sites in these nanoparticles has been a significant challenge. In this study, an optimized factorial design with response surface methodology (RSM) was employed to produce small Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) stabilized with tetraethoxysilane (TEOS).

Effect of polymer architecture on the properties and in vitro cytotoxicity of drug formulation: A case study with mono- and di-gradient amphiphilic poly(2-Oxazoline)s.

Due to the straightforward single-step synthesis, amphiphilic gradient copoly(2-oxazoline)s are becoming more popular alternative to their block analogue for the development of next-generation drug delivery systems. Here, we investigated the influence of polymer architecture on the physiochemical and biological assessment of nanoformulations formed by the self-assembly of gradient copoly(2-oxazoline)s. Two different architectures were synthesized: hydrophilic-grad-hydrophobic (mono-gradient) and hydrophobic-grad-hydrophilic-grad-hydrophobic (di-gradient) which contained a hydrophilic monomer, 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline (EtOx) and a hydrophobic monomer, 2-phenyl-2-oxazoline (PhOx).
