Aerosol-based fabrication of modified chitosans and their application for gene transfection

Byeon J.H., Roberts J.T., Purdue University, US

Droplets containing modified chitosans were formed by collison atomization, dried to form solid particles, and collected and studied for potential use as nanocarriers (Figure 1). Modified chitosans consisted of a chitosan backbone and an additional [...]

Aerosol based fabrication of thiol-capped gold nanoparticles and their application for gene transfection

Byeon J.H., Roberts J.T., Purdue University, US

Thiol-capped Au nanoparticles can be used as sensitive probes of gas and vapor concentrations, as magnetic materials in data storage devices, for selective drug delivery, and for biomedical imaging.3 In this study, ambient-spark-produced-Au-nanoparticle-laden nitrogen gas [...]
