O Pluronic F98 e F127 possui maior porcentagem hidrofílica (70 wt%), no caso do 80% F98. artigo consiste na comparação parâmetro HLB da sua influência formação das Nanopartículas de Ouro. São escolhidas essas nanopartículas, por apresentarem baixa toxicidade, como também ser eficaz em aplicação medicinal. câncer estômago exibe alta incidência. Há a dos compostos com um núcleo hidrofóbico polióx...

The morphology and stability of small unilamellar egg yolk phosphatidylcholine (EggPC) liposomes modified with the Pluronic copolymer (poly (oxyethylene)-poly (oxypropylene)-poly (oxyethylene) (PEO-PPO-PEO)) with different compositions on mica surface have been investigated using atomic force microscopy. Morphology studies reveal significant morphological changes of liposomes upon incorporating...

Photo-crosslinkable and biodegradable Pluronic/heparin composite hydrogels were fabricated for local and sustained delivery of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) to induce angiogenesis. Terminally di-acrylated Pluronic F127 and vinyl group conjugated heparin were used as a mixed macromer precursor solution to prepare a photo-crosslinkable hydrogel. An aqueous solution containing the two macr...

Our lab demonstrated that intratumoral Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV) is a potent antitumor immunotherapy when used as in situ vaccine. As we pave the way for human clinical translation, formulation chemistry needs to be optimized long-term storage of drug candidate. In this work, CPMV was nanoengineered with Pluronic F127 realize liquid and gel formulations which mitigate structural changes RNA re...

In this study, we report on CdS/ZnS nanocrystals as a luminescence probe for bioimaging applications. CdS nanocrystals capped with a ZnS shell had enhanced luminescence intensity, stronger stability and exhibited a longer lifetime compared to uncapped CdS. The CdS/ZnS nanocrystals were stabilized in Pluronic F127 block copolymer micelles, offering an optically and colloidally stable contrast ag...

The possible combination of specific physicochemical properties operating at unique sites of action within cells and tissues has led to considerable uncertainty surrounding nanomaterial toxic potential. We have investigated the importance of proteins adsorbed onto the surface of two distinct classes of nanomaterials (single-walled carbon nanotubes [SWCNTs]; 10-nm amorphous silica) in guiding na...

The aim of this study was to increase the in vivo mean residence time of vinpocetine after IV injection utilizing long circulating mixed micellar systems. Mixed micelles were prepared using Pluronics L121, P123 and F127. The systems were characterized by testing their entrapment efficiency, particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy and in vitro drug r...

Non-specific protein adsorption is detrimental to the performance of many biomedical devices. Polystyrene is a commonly used material in devices and thin films. Simple reliable surface modification of polystyrene to render it protein resistant is desired in particular for device fabrication and orthogonal functionalisation schemes. This report details modifications carried out on a polystyrene ...

Influence of synthesis temperature on morphology of SBA-16 mesoporous materials with a three-dimensional pore system, Abstract Spherical particles of mesoporous silica SBA-16 with cubic Im3m structure were synthesized at low pH using Pluronic F127 as template and TEOS as silica source. The diameter of the spherical particles can be controlled in the range of 0.5 – 8 µm by varying synthesis temp...
