Synthesis and Photodynamic Efficacy of PAMAM-Photosensitiser Conjugates in Vitro

Peng C.L., Lai P.S., Lai T.-Y., Chiu C.H., Chang C-C, Lai P.S., Lai T.-Y., Shieh M.J., National Taiwan University, TW

Starburst polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer is a new class of highly branched spherical polymer. Covalent attachment of porphyrin to PAMAM dendrimer may alter the pharmacokinetics, cell targeting, and photophysical properties of photosensitizer. We investigated the uptake, [...]

Shell Cross-Linked Nanoparticle Based on Poly(e-caprolactone)-Poly(ethylene glycol) for Photosensitizer Delivery

Lai P.S., Huang M.Y., Wang S.J.J., Chen C.N., Shieh M.J., National Taiwan University, TW

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a novel photochemical process for producing localized tissue necrosis, which involves the activation of a photosensitizing drug in the target tissue with light of a specific wavelength matched to an absorption [...]

Investigation of the ssDNA Backbone Molecule Mechanical Behavior Using Atomistic-Continuum Mechanics Method

Han C-N, Chou C.Y., Wu C-J, Chiang K.N., Advanced Microsystem Packaging and Nano-Mechanics Research Laboratory, National Tsing Hua University, TW

As is known, various important physiological functions and gene engineering processes, such as RNA transcription/DNA replication/DNA repair, involve specific bio-physical mechanics of DNA. Therefore, in this study, a novel single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) model based on [...]

Stem Cell Differentiation Base on Acoustic Wave Sensor

Shih C-J, Tsai B-C, Ou K-L, Industrial Technology Research Institute, TW

This project was based on immobilizing bio-material. We used a new application for protein array and studied a new acoustic wave sensor which is based on silicon. We used the MEMS fabrication and the property [...]

Sol-gel synthesis and photoluminescent characteristics of Eu doped Gd2O3 nanophosphors

Lin C.C., Lin K.M., Lin C.C., Lin K.M., Li Y.Y., Lin C.C., Lin K.M., National Chung Cheng University, TW

Eu-ion doped Gd2O3 nanophosphor powders were prepared by sol-gel method using GdCl3 and EuCl3 at 800-1100 oC. The size of phosphors was about 50-200nm depending on the synthesis temperature for 2hr. Nanophosphors was examined by [...]

Mechanical Properties Measurement of Nanowires Anisotropic Conductive Film by Nanoindentation Technique

Hsu Y-Y, Lin R.J., Kuo T-Y, Su Y-Y, Uang R-H, Cheng H-C, Industrial Technology Research Institute, TW

In this investigation, a new type of anisotropic conductive film composed by nanowires and polymer was developed. Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) film was uses as a template to obtain cobalt nanowires by electro-deposition. Low viscous [...]

Size-Dependent Elastic Moduli of Nanofilms

Chang I-L, Huang J-C, National Chung Cheng University, TW

A semi-continuum model is constructed for the analysis of face-cubic-center crystal structure nanofilms to study the size dependence of the elastic properties. Unlike the classical continuum theory, the current model directly takes the discrete nature [...]
