Visible Upconversion in Rare-earth Ion-doped NaYF4 Crystals and Nanocoloids

Patel D.N., Jumper M., Wright III D.M., Sarkisov S., Oakwood University, US

Nano-colloids and nano-crystals doped with rare-earth elements have recently attracted a lot of attention in the scientific community. This attention is due to unique physical, chemical and optical properties attributed to nanometer size of the [...]

Estimate effective interaction potentials from the static structure factor in pure fluids and nanocolloids

Oprisan A., Oprisan S.A., Oprisan A., Oprisan S.A., Teklu A., Hegseth J., College of Charleston, US

The direct visualization and analysis of critical fluctuations in pure fluids in microgravity, and concentration-driven interface fluctuations in nanocolloids provide invaluable information about cooperative phenomena and the role played by fluctuations in mixing, phase separation, [...]

Nanocarriers for Cancer Therapy

Vergaro V., Zheng X., Zheng Z., Zheng X., Zheng Z., Lvov Y.M., Giovinazzo G., Santino A., Cingolani R., Rinaldi R., Leporatti S., National Nanotechnology Laboratory (NNL) of CNR-INFM, IT

Drug nano-colloids encapsulated by combination of layer by layer (LbL) techniques and ultrasonication, phytochemical encapsulated-artificial oleosomes and drug-loading clay nanotubes have been uptaken by neoplastic cells. Morpho- mechanical changes induced by such nanocarriers in living [...]
