PLGA-PEG multifunctional nanoparticles for simultaneous drug delivery and imaging by MRI and fluorescence microscopy

Fornara A., Chiavarino A., Qin J., Toprak M.S., Muhammed M., YKI, Institute for surface chemistry, SE

In recent years, a lot of effort has been put to develop smart nanocarriers for drug delivery to increase the efficacy of certain therapeutic drugs. Still the main challenge is to integrate the therapeutic function, [...]

Effect of local curvature on the interaction between hydrophobic surfaces

Hansson P., Swerin A., Thormann E., Claesson P.M., Schoelkopf J., Gane P.A.C., YKI, Institute for surface chemistry, SE

Previous measurements of the attractive interaction between hydrophobic macroscopic surfaces have showed that long-range forces that are considerably stronger than the van der Waals force dominate the interaction Silica nanoparticles have been deposited on substrates [...]
