Liposome and polymer-based nanomaterials for vaccine applications

Nanoparticles (NPs) are effective and safe adjuvants for antigen delivery in modern vaccinology. Biodegradable nanomaterials with suitable properties are frequently applied for conjugation or loading with antigens; they protect the antigens from degradation in vivo. NPs are applied as effective delivery system to facilitate antigen uptake by antigen presenting cells (APCs) and especially dendri...

The Refractor Problem in Reshaping Light Beams

STRUCTURAL AND IONIC CONDUCTIVITYSTUDIES ONPLASTICIZED PAN-SODIUM FLUORIDE POLYMER ELECTROLYTES FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL CELL APPLICATIONS

Ion conducting gel polymer electrolytes based on poly acrylonitrle (PAN) complexed with different weight percent ratios of Sodium Fluoride (NaF) salt were prepared by using solution cast technique. Structural characterization was performed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) spectroscope technique. From the X-rd results increase in amorphous phase with...

Novel Strategy for Photopatterning Emissive Polymer Brushes for Organic Light Emitting Diode Applications

A light-mediated methodology to grow patterned, emissive polymer brushes with micron feature resolution is reported and applied to organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays. Light is used for both initiator functionalization of indium tin oxide and subsequent atom transfer radical polymerization of methacrylate-based fluorescent and phosphorescent iridium monomers. The iridium centers play k...

Polymer Adhesives and Encapsulants for Microelectronic Applications

his article provides an overview of the use of polymer adhesives in microelectronic packaging, with key applications including die attachment, underfills, and encapsulants. For many applications, polymer adhesives provide several advantages over alternative materials, and polymers have been widely used for die attachment. In flip-chip devices, polymers are being used for electrical interconnect...
