Discriminated properties of PEI functionalized gold nanoparticles (Au-PEIs) predetermined by synthetic routes of ligand exchange and reduction processes: Paths and Fates

Cho T.J., Gorham J.M., Pettibone J.M., Hackley V.A., National Institute of Standards and Technology, US

Polyethyleneimine (PEI) functionalized AuNPs (Au-PEIs) have potential use as positively charged gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for nano-medicinal applications, due to their cationic surfaces that promote cellular uptake and gene transfection.1-6 Au-PEIs can be prepared by one [...]

Pelletized silica and amine composites for CO2 capture via adsorption

Knowles G.P., Vogt C., Chaffee A.L., Cooperative Research Center for Greenhouse Gas Technologies, AU

Solid amine sorbent powders are of broad interest to facilitate CO2 capture towards reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas. It is recognized, however, that pelletized rather powdered adsorbents are required for industrial adsorption separation processes. “Molecular basket” [...]

Pelletized silica and polyethyleneimine composites for CO2 capture via adsorption

Knowles G.P., Chaffee A.L., Monash University, AU

Amine adsorbent powders are of broad interest to facilitate CO2 capture towards reducing atmospheric greenhouse gas. It is recognized, however, that industrial adsorption processes require pelletized rather than powdered adsorbents. Mesoporous silica and branched polyethyleneimine [...]

Supramolecular assemblies of cisplatin and polyelectrolytes: preparation, characterization and activity against cancer cells

Vieira D.B., Kim V., Petri D.F.S., Menck C.F.M., Carmona-Ribeiro A.M., Universidade de Sao Paulo, BR

Nanoformulation of cisplatin (Cis) is important to circumvent its high toxicity against normal cells. In this work, Cis cationic nanoparticles were prepared by the self-assembly of drug and oppositely charged polyelectrolytes (carboxymethylcellulose, CMC; chitosan, CH; [...]
