Protein-coated nanocapsules via multilevel surface modification. Controlled preparation and microscopic analysis at nanometer resolution.

چکیده
We prepared self-assembled vesicles comprising layers of fullerene, alkyl chains, triazole, oligo(ethylene oxide) chains, biotin and avidin molecules. High-resolution scanning electron microscopy using a superhydrophilic indium-tin oxide substrate was found to be useful for nanometer-level structural analysis of the vesicles and individual avidin molecules whose structures are difficult to analyze.

Fabrication of Thermoresponsive Cross-Linked Poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) Nanocapsules and Silver Nanoparticle-Embedded Hybrid Capsules with Controlled Shell Thickness
Hollow polymeric nanocapsules have attracted great interest in recent years due to their broad applications in controlledrelease carriers, catalysis, nanoreactors, and encapsulation of guest molecules. Polymeric nanocapsules have been typically fabricated via the selfassembly of block copolymers, 5 polymerization within lipid vesicles, emulsion polymerization, 14 and the sacrificial core-templa...
متن کاملPREPARATION OF FUNCTIONALIZED MWCNTS COATING WITH MgO VIA SIMPLE PRECIPITATION METHOD
Abstract: Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were coated with MgO nano particles using simple precipitationmethod. The growth of Mg(OH)2particles was controlled by adjusting the alkaline concentration, salt concentrationand feed rate in simple precipitation method. The nanometer-sized Mg(OH)2particles were precipitated on the surfaceof functionalized MWCNTs by reaction between MgSO4 solution...
متن کاملCharacterization of micro- and nanocapsules for self-healing anti-corrosion coatings by high-resolution SEM with coupled transmission mode and EDX.
The observation of morphological details down to the nanometer range of the outer surface of micro-, submicro- and nanoparticles in a high-resolution scanning electron microscope (SEM) was extended with in-depth observation by enabling the transmission mode in the SEM, i.e. TSEM. The micro- and nanocapsules characterized in this study were fabricated as depots for protective agents to be embedd...
متن کاملPreparation of Fe3O4@SiO2 Nanostructures via Inverse Micelle Method and Study of Their Magnetic Properties for Biological Applications
In this work, we report synthesis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles at room temperature using microemulsion template phase consisting of cyclohexane, water, cetyltrimethylammonium bromide CTAB as cationic surfactant and butanol as a cosurfactant. Silica surface modification of the as prepared nanoparticles was performed by adding tetraethoxysilane TEOS to alkaline medium. The struct...
