Multilayered ABCD Nanoparticles for siRNA delivery

Thanou M., Miller A., Imperial College London, UK

RNAi therapeutics represent a method to treat human diseases by addressing targets that are not possible to be addressed with conventional medicines. In our Centre we design nanosized systems for siRNA delivery that consist of [...]

Synthesis of one-dimensional titanium dioxide nanostructures

Cottam B., Chyla S., Menzel R., Bismarck A., Shaffer M., Imperial College London, UK

Finely structured titanium dioxide is a technological material of long-standing importance for many applications including pigments and catalysis. There is growing interest in smaller, truly nano-sized titanium dioxide particles with well-defined crystallinity and a range [...]

Adapting carbon nanotubes for fine composite structures

Shaffer M., Verdejo R., Tran M., Menner A., Bismarck A., Imperial College London, UK

Although encouraging results have been obtained for nanotube-filled polymers, significant improvements over conventional fillers have proved elusive. A critical factor is the reliance on CVD-grown material, which is available in large quantity at reasonable purity, [...]

Silicon MEMS for Photonic Bandgap Devices

Yeatman E.M., Lipson A., Imperial College London, UK

Photonic Bandgap (PBG) devices have been widely investigated because of their capabilities for manipulating light within highly constrained dimensions. Many PBG devices have been fabricated in III-V semiconductors to take advantage of their active optoelectronic [...]
