Functionalized carboxyl nanoparticles enhance mucus dispersion and hydration
Luminal accumulation of viscous, poorly hydrated, and less transportable mucus has been associated with altered mucus rheology and reduced mucociliary clearance. These symptoms are some of the cardinal clinical manifestations found throughout major respiratory diseases as well as gastrointestinal and digestive disorders. Applications of current mucolytics may yield short-term improvements but a...
متن کاملFunctionalized Positive Nanoparticles Reduce Mucin Swelling and Dispersion
Multi-functionalized nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively investigated for their potential in household and commercial products, and biomedical applications. Previous reports have confirmed the cellular nanotoxicity and adverse inflammatory effects on pulmonary systems induced by NPs. However, possible health hazards resulting from mucus rheological disturbances induced by NPs are underexp...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of Carboxyl-Group Functionalized Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles and the Potential for Bio-Applications
Neste trabalho, foi desenvolvido um método para preparação de nanopartículas magnéticas monodispersas funcionalizadas com grupos carboxila. Maguemita de dimensões nanométricas (y-Fe2O3, 7,0 ± 1,0 nm) foi sintetizada usando-se o método de coprecipitação térmica e subseqüentemente coberta com grupos funcionais por copolimerização em suspensão conduzida em uma etapa. Estudos de espectroscopia de i...
متن کاملCarboxyl-Functionalized Polymeric Microspheres Prepared by One-Stage Photoinitiated RAFT Dispersion Polymerization
Herein, we report a photoinitiated reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) dispersion copolymerization of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and methyl methacrylic (MAA) for the preparation of highly monodisperse carboxyl-functionalized polymeric microspheres. High rates of polymerization were observed, with more than 90% particle yields being achieved within 3 h of UV irradiation. Effec...
متن کاملDispersion of Functionalized Silica Micro- and Nanoparticles into Poly(nonamethylene Azelate) by Ultrasonic Micro-Molding
Ultrasound micro-molding technology has proved useful in processing biodegradable polymers with minimum material loss. This makes this technology particularly suitable for the production of biomedical microdevices. The use of silica (SiO2) nanoparticles is also interesting because of advantages like low cost and enhancement of final properties. Evaluation of the capacity to create a homogeneous...
