Poly(2,5-benzimidazole) Based Polymer Electrolyte Membranes for High Temperature Fuel Cell Applications

Bao X.J., Liu Q.T., Loughborough University, UK

In this study, two methods, direct mixing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanos (POSS) with poly(2,5-benzimidazole) (ABPBI) and in-situ synthesis were employed to prepare ABPBI based composite membrane materials, respectively. The morphologies of pristine and composite membranes were [...]

Combining solution processed and vacuum deposited layers in small molecule organic solar cell

Kim Y., Imperial College, UK

In this work the characteristics and mechanisms remarkably affecting efficiency in vacuum deposited small molecule solar cells using pentacene, C60, and BCP and the combination of solution processed and vacuum deposited layers like a P3HT [...]

An Ab Initio Study of CuGaSe2 (001) Surface

Chew S., Liborio L., Harrison N., Imperial College London, UK

The chalcopyrite material CuIn1-xGaxSe2 makes one of the best performing devices for thin film solar cells. Despite this, there is still a lack of understanding of some of the fundamental properties of the material. CuGaSe2 [...]

Creation of Protein Nanoarrays using Dip-Pen Nanolithography

Thompson D.G., McKenna E., Pitt A., Graham D., University of Strathclyde, UK

This presentation describes the creation of protein nanoarrays on a nitrocellulose surface using Dip-Pen Nanolithography and their use in studying protein:protein interactions in an assay format.

Doxorubicin-loaded and Antibody-Conjugated Liposome-QD Hybrid Vesicles for Targeted Cancer Therapy and Imaging

Tian B.W., Al-Jamal W.T., Stuartb M., Kostarelos K., The School of Pharmacy, University of London, UK

In this study, we report the engineering of multimodal Liposome-QD hybrids (L-QD) for cancer imaging and therapy. L-QD hybrids were loaded with doxorubicin (Dox) using the osmotic gradient technique, achieving high encapsulation efficiency comparable to [...]

A proof of concept: a model of targeted stealth nanoparticles that are stable and biocompatible for RNA interference in vivo to macrophages

Yusuf M.S., Miller A.D., Prata C.H., Imperial College Gene Therapies Centre, UK

Bringing together advances generated through the developing fields of bionanotechnology and gene therapy, and demonstrated through the ABCD model, we propose a biocompatible, stable, specific stealth lipoplex targeting macrophages, as proof of concept, which is [...]
