Synthesis of superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles for thermoresponsive drug delivery

Lin C.Y., Ho K.C., National Taiwan University, TW

Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized via modified coprecipitation method and their physical properties were examined. The crystal structure of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. From the dynamic laser scattering analysis, the [...]

Nano gold can drop PSA level

Shen H.D., N Kung Industrial Co., Ltd, TW

abstract Reaches first finding nano gold under 10 nm can improve micturition. We did several tests for one who has prostate cancer. We find one who has PSA level 193 with harmony treatment for several [...]

Differential lethality of gold nanoparticles is associated with immunogenecity

Huang G.S., Chen Y-S, Yeh H-W, National Chiao Tung University, TW

To obtain antibodies specifically recognizing gold nanoparticles (GNPs) BALB/C mice were immunized by weekly intra-peritoneal injection of adjuvant-emulsified 5 nm, 8 nm, 12 nm, 17 nm, and 37 nm GNPs. Mice injected with 8 nm, [...]

Application of Quantum dots for the lifespan study of Caenorhabditis elegans

Huang G.S., Chang K-M, Chen Y-C, Yeh L-G, National Chiao Tung University, TW

The progress in identifying drugs that extend lifespan of Caenorhabditis elegans has been slow partly due to the tedious and labor-intensive nature of drug screening. We labeled C. elegans by mixing quantum dots, FITC, or [...]

Effects of Nano-Scale Core-Shell Rubber on the Volume Shrinkage for Unsaturated Polyester

Huang Y-J, Guo T-J, Yang Y-H, Chen M-C, Tsai M-C, Andriani Y., National Taiwan University of Science and Technology, TW

The effects of nano-scale core-shell rubbers (CSR) as low-profile additives (LPA) on the volume shrinkage characteristics and internal pigmentability of unsaturated polyester resins (UP) during the cure at 110oC were investigated. These CSRs were synthesized [...]

Investigation of Mechanical Strength of the Nanoshell of Bacteriophage Phi-29

Han C-N, Chou C.Y., Chiang K.N., National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan, TW

In this research, by using the analytical solution (method 1, method 2) and finite element method that include three approaches were proposed to find the stress in the nanoshell when phi-29 packages the dsDNA. Method [...]

Investigation of dsDNA Molecule Mechanical Behavior using Atomistic Continuum Mechanics Method

Han C-N, Chou C.Y., Wu C-J, Chiang K.N., National Tsing Hua University, TW

In this research, an atomistic continuum model of dsDNA based on equivalent-spring method would be first conducted and the simulation result would be further validated by the experimental result. A spring element is chosen to [...]

Controllable synthesis of patterned ZnO nanostructures based on the templation of plant cell walls

Cheng C.-L., Chen C.C., Chen T.T., Chen Y.F., Cheng C.-L., Lin H-Y, Chen C.C., Chen T.T., Chen Y.F., Cheng C.-L., Chen C.C., Chen T.T., Chen Y.F., Cheng C.-L., National Taiwan University, TW

A novel approach based on vapor-phase transport technique using Au-coated plant cell walls with metallic ions as the catalyst has been developed to synthesize ZnO nanostructures. It is shown that plant cell walls can serve [...]

High Frequency Characteristics of Nanoscale Silicon Nanowire FET

Li Y., Hwang C-H, National Chaio Tung University, TW

Nanoscale multigate field effect transistors (FETs) are potentially next-generation device candidates for achieving the high performance targets of the ITRS due to their superior reduction of the short channel effects and excellent compatibility with planar [...]

Random Discrete Dopant Fluctuated Sub-32 nm FinFET Devices

Li Y., Hwang C-H, Yu S-M., Huang H.M., Chen H-M, National Chaio Tung University, TW

Scaling of silicon production technology has approached the sub-65nm regime. Device’s electrical characteristics fluctuate according to the discreteness and randomness of dopants in sub-32nm technologies. In this paper, we investigate the random-dopant-induced electrical characteristics fluctuations, [...]
