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

, , , , ,
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 [...]

Numerical investigation of Electric field, Ion Transport and pH damage during Electrochemical Treatment of Tumors: Effects of physicochemical reactions and chlorine bleaching

, , , ,
Electrochemical therapy (EChT) is a promising alternative to conventional tumor treatment due to its relatively high efficiency, flexibility, reduced side effects and versatility. Tumor electrolysis, a form of EChT, utilizes low-level direct electric current (DEC). [...]
