nanotechnology is the study of manipulating matter on an atomic and molecular scale. generally, nanotechnology deals with developing materials, devices, or other structures possessing at least one dimension size from 1 to 100 nanometers .  carbon nanotubes have great potentials for novel applications in industry, drug delivery system and many other uses. in this work after purification, multiwa...

a great challenge in using natural polysaccharide as drug delivery system is their fast drug release. the purpose of the present study was to prepare and evaluate chitosan oligosaccharide (cho)-de-estrifiedtragacanth (det) core-shell nanoparticles for controled release of water soluble drugs. cho-det nanoparticles were prepared by microemulsion method and characterized by ft-ir spectroscopy. si...

microspheres formulated from poly (d,l-lactic-co-glycolide) (plga), a biodegradable polymer, have been extensively evaluated as a drug delivery system. in this study, the preparation, characterization and drug release properties of the plga microspheres were evaluated. simvastatin (sim)-loaded plga microspheres were prepared by oil-in-water emulsion/solvent evaporation method. the microspheres ...

in this work we synthesized nano hydroxyapatite (hap)  by sol-gel method, then we functionalized hydroxyapatite nanoparticle by use of  3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (aptms) , to improve the loading and control release of sulfasalazine drug bonded to aptms. the drug release patterns from sulfasalazine loaded hap nanoparticles at ph value 8 for 6h, sulfasalazine loaded functionalized hap nanopa...

to improve drug selectivity toward target cells, one interesting approach for drug delivery is to use polymer nanoparticles. a two-layered oniom becke3- lyp: uff calculation was carried out to study the structural and thermodynamic properties of the interaction between acetamide derivatives and the pca-peg-pca copolymers. the interaction enthalpies and the gibbs free energies between acetamide ...

nowadays, developements in nanotechnology have leeds an increased application of this newborn technology in cancer treatment. in this study, a stabilized micelle was developed to load hpd in order to be used in photodynamic treatment of cancer in an animal model. to construct micelles, pluronic p-105 was used and stabilized to encapsulate hpd . this process includes a 24 h polymerization in whi...
