Translational Research of Hemoglobin-vesicles as a Transfusion Alternative

Sakai H., Nara Medical University, JP

A fluid of hemoglobin-vesicles, Hb-V, is being developed as a transfusion alternative that comprises concentrated particle dispersion ([Hb] = 10 g/dL, occupied particle volume = 40%, particle size = 250 nm) with physicochemical characteristics comparable [...]

Pore-Size Control of Carbon Nanospace with Ultrasonic Irradiation

Ohkubo T., Hori R., Tsuchiya K., Sakai H., Abe M., Tokyo University of Science, JP

In this study, we examined the micropore-size control on activated carbons by ultrasonic irradiation with various conditions.Pitch-based activated carbon fiber (ACF; AD’ALL Co. Ltd.) was used for the sample having relatively uniform micropores whose micropore [...]

Nano-Sized Polymer Micelle Synthesized from Cationic Gemini Surfmer

Ohkubo T., Koike T., Tsubone K., Tsuchiya K., Sakai H., Abe M., Tokyo University of Science, JP

In this study, we examine the synthesis and characterization of polymer micelle using polymerizable cationic gemini surfactant (surfmer). In this work, polymerizable cationic gemini surfmer, (CH2)2 [BrN(CH3)2C11H22OCOC(CH3)CH2]2 (GSM) was newly synthesized and characterized. Also, a [...]
