Synthesis of amphiphilic block copolymers to deliver HSP90 inhibitors for colorectal tumors

Lin C.Y., Shieh M.J., National Taiwan University, TW

In this article, we present pH-sensitive and small size nanoparticles as carrier to encapsulate 17-AAG. We anticipate that this platform will provide a new strategy for cancer therapy.

Fabrication of Magnetic Poly (ethylene glycol) Hydrogels Blocks Using Microfluidic System for Cell Patterning Techniques

Chang H.-Y., Fu C.-Y., Lin C.Y., Wang T.-P., National Tsing Hua University, TW

In this study, we developed a novel technique called magnetic hydrogel-based cell patterning (MHCP) to easily achieve heterotypic cell patterning in both of multi-well plate-based methods and microfluidic system. We also demonstrated that the material [...]

Two-Phase Convective Heat Transfer in Microchannels

Lin C.Y., Hsieh S.-S., Chen J.H., National Sun Yat-Sen University, TW

Experiments were conducted to investigate subcooling flow boiling in 75 parallel microchannels (L=30 mm) having 200 μm (W) x 100 μm (H) cross-section with/without structured reentrant angle ( 0°、60°、90°and 120°). Boiling inceptions, flow morphologies, critical [...]

Hyperhtermia effect of surface-modified magnetite nanoparticles in a microfluid system

Lin C.Y., Ho K.C., National Taiwan University, TW

Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) was first synthesized via coprecipiatation. After synthesis and purification of the Fe3O4 NPs, poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was coated on them at specified conditions. The coating process is not possible at pH higher [...]

Synthesis of superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles for thermoresponsive drug delivery

Lin C.Y., Ho K.C., National Taiwan University, TW

Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized via modified coprecipitation method and their physical properties were examined. The crystal structure of Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. From the dynamic laser scattering analysis, the [...]
