Background: Although microemulsion-based nanoparticles (MEs) may be useful for drug delivery or scavenging, these benefits must be balanced against potential nanotoxicological effects in biological tissue (bio-nano interface). We investigated the actions of assembled MEs and their individual components at the bio-nano interface of thrombosis and hemolysis in human blood. Methods: Oil-in-water M...

the use of an inorganic phase in water-in-oil (w/o) microemulsion   has   received considerable attention recently for preparing metal oxide   nanoparticles. this is a technique, which allows preparation of ultrafine   metal oxide nanoparticles within the size range 40 to 80 nm. preparation of   nano zno and cr 2 o 3 studied, investigated in the inverse   microemulsion system. therefore the nuc...

India is one of the leading national at international level in the field of biomaterial science and technological development. Biomaterials are widely used in many areas including biomedical applications, fabrication of biosensors, bioinformatics and etc. . Some of the biomaterials are processed using different techniques and technologies employing plant and animal wastes. This research article...

Although many breast and lung cancers overexpress human epidermal growth factor receptor-2 (HER-2), no methods currently exist for effective and early detection of HER-2-positive cancers. To address this issue, we designed and synthesized dendrimer-based novel nano-imaging agents that contain gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and gadolinium (Gd), conjugated with the humanized anti-HER-2 antibody (Herc...

The various studies conducted in the past on the performance of the Italian innovation system have almost inevitably underlined the weakness of the Italian R&D systems. Its main salient feature is the poorly performing, insufficiently developed, and scarcely organised block of activities related to Scientific and Technological Research (STR). The failure of the Italian system in promoting basic...

in this work the synthesis of polyaniline/chitosan/functionalized single- walled carbon nanotube nanocomposite is carried out. for this purpose single -walled carbon nanotubes were reacted with thionyl chloride to change the hydroxyl to acyl chloride groups for improving the react ability. in other step, aniline monomers and chitosan were polymerized in the presence of iron (iii) chloride to sy...

[Bio]chemical sensors, defined as devices which convert a chemical state into an electrical signal [1], have been the subject of a strong development during the past few decades. A sensor has essentially two parts (Fig. 1): a detecting element, in which the presence of an external stimulus produces a change of some property (optical, mechanical, electrical ...), and a transducing element, which...

Noble metal nanoslit structure has attracted an increasing interest in nanoscale photonic devices, and bio applications. However, methods typically used for fabricating nano-sized slit, such as, e-beam direct etching, template-assisted photolithography, and nano-imprint lithography, have low yield and are limited to sub-nano sized slit. In this work, we observed that slit width of Au metal is g...
