Nanoparticles of the Thermo-mechanically Activated Zeolite in the Design and Synthesis of New Drugs Generation

Ivkovic S., Brezak D., MEGAMIN GmbH, DE

In the past several years a lot of efforts have been made in the production of new high performance drugs without toxic and other side effects. First promising results were obtained using micro and nanoparticles [...]

Amphoteric liposomes are a platform for multi-organ delivery of oligonucleotides

Reinsch C., Rauchhaus U., Panzner S., novosom AG, DE

Oligonucleotides (ONs) such as antisense (ASO) or siRNA have created a need for new technologies that further enable the systemic and targeted delivery of these active principles. Here, we describe amphoteric, fully charge-reversible liposomes as [...]

Functional Polymersomes (Synthosomes) for Bioconversion and Selective Product Recovery

Güven A., Ihle S., Fioroni M., Schwaneberg U., Jacobs University Bremen, School of Engineering and Science, DE

The combination of natural proteins with polymer membranes allows the formation of a novel nanocompartment combining the mechanical, chemical, and biological stability of the amphiphilic block copolymer with the functional specificity of membrane proteins. Functional [...]

Subcellular fractionation in a fluidic microsystem

Paulus A., Posch A., Hausmann M., Blankenstein G., Duong T., Kentsch J., Angres B., Stoll D., Stelzle M., NMI Natural and Medical Sciences Institute, DE

The availability of an easy-to-use, reproducible method for subcellular fractionation would significantly promote qualitative and quantitative analysis of subcellular protein composition. A microfluidic system with integrated electrodes was designed and fabricated allowing for dielectrophoretic manipulation [...]

NanoEnergy- Technological and economical impact of nanotechnology on the energy sector

Luther W., VDI Technologiezentrum GmbH, DE

In respect of narrowing fossil energy resources and potential side effects of climate warming carbon dioxide emissions it becomes obvious that for a sustained longterm economical prosperity a fundamental renewal of the energy sector will [...]

Welcome to Nanotech Germany, Research in Germany – Land of Ideas

Sicking F., Nanotech Germany, DE

Key technologies are “tickets” to the future. Nanotechnology is one of the most important key technologies. Nearly all branches of industry profit from the progress being made in nanotechnology research. And still, nanotechnology has a [...]

Nanoscale Resolution Deformation Measurements at Crack Tips of Nanostructured Materials and Interface Cracks

Keller J., Vogel D., Gollhardt A., Michel B., Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration, DE

The trend towards the application of nanoparticle filled materials in the aerospace and automotive electronics sectors have led to a strong need in material characterization on the micro and nano scale. In addition MEMS and [...]

NanoZeolites – porous nanomaterials for cleantech, encapsulation and triggered release applications

Daniell W., Sauer J., Kohl A., NanoScape AG, DE

Recent advances in hydrothermal synthesis techniques and procedures to modify the surfaces of the particles have led to the development of a new class of material – the NanoZeolites. The availability of porous, nanocrystalline materials [...]

Conductance Enhancement of Nanoparticulate Indium Tin Oxide Layers Made by Printing Technique

Gross M., Maksimenko I., Faber H., Linse N., Wellmann P.J., University Erlangen-Nuremberg, DE

To improve their conductance we applied several treatments on nanoparticulate indium tin oxide (In2O3:Sn, ITO) layers: post bake, infiltration by an ITO precursor solution with subsequent sol-gel transformation into ITO, treatment with etching agents as [...]

New Method for large Area NIL – SCIL

van Eekelen J., Weixlberger J., Suss MicroTec Lithography, DE

A new imprint technology for sub-50nm patterning will be introduced, bridging the gap between small rigid stamp application for best resolution and large area soft stamp usage with usual limited printing resolution below 200nm - [...]
