Enhanced Sensitivity Carbon Nanotubes as Targeted Photoacoustic Molecular Imaging Agents
Photoacoustic imaging of living subjects offers high spatial resolution at increased tissue depths compared to purely optical imaging techniques. We have recently shown that intravenously injected single walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) can be used as targeted photoacoustic imaging agents in living mice using RGD peptides to target αvβ3 integrins. We have now developed a new targeted photoacoust...
متن کاملPolyoxazoline multivalently conjugated with indocyanine green for sensitive in vivo photoacoustic imaging of tumors
Photoacoustic imaging, which enables high-resolution imaging in deep tissues, has lately attracted considerable attention. For tumor imaging, photoacoustic probes have been proposed to enhance the photoacoustic effect to improve detection sensitivity. Here, we evaluated the feasibility of using a biocompatible hydrophilic polymer, polyoxazoline, conjugated with indocyanine green (ICG) as a tumo...
متن کاملUltralong single-wall carbon nanotubes.
Since the discovery of carbon nanotubes in 1991 by Iijima, there has been great interest in creating long, continuous nanotubes for applications where their properties coupled with extended lengths will enable new technology developments. For example, ultralong nanotubes can be spun into fibres that are more than an order of magnitude stronger than any current structural material, allowing revo...
متن کاملSingle-wall Carbon Nanotubes: Quantum Carbon Wires
Today’s business environment is causing utilities to examine methods to cut costs and to maximize revenues. Development of a comprehensive program for marketing and utilization* of coal combustion by-products (CCBPs) by a utility can generate additional revenue streams; reduce operating costs at plants; and defer capital costs of developing new waste disposal capacity. These factors can be opti...
متن کاملMeasurement of Benzene in Air by Iranian Single-Wall Carbon Nanotubes
Background: Nanotechnology is a new approach that has been lionized in recent years. One of its applications is its consumption as an absorbent. In this study, the single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were used as an absorbent for sampling benzene in the air. Materials and Methods: For this study, SWCNTs manufactured by Iran and SKC’s activated charcoal were used for sampling benzene vapors....
