Peptide Functionalized Gold and Silver Nanoparticles Inhibit Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) In Vitro

Baganizi D.R., Bawage S., Singh A., Singh S.R., Tiwari P., Dennis V.A., Singh A., Singh S.R., Alabama State University, US

Human respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a major cause of severe upper and lower respiratory tract infections in infants, and in high-risk adults. Currently, there is no vaccine and the available therapeutic agents have limited [...]

Optimization of synthesis conditions to prepare desired shell thickness of superparamagnetic MgFe2O4@SiO2 core-shell nanosphere for biomedical applications

Das H., Debnath N., Arai T., Sakamoto N., Shinozaki K., Suzuki H., Wakiya N., Shizuoka University, JP

We have described here a simple way for the fabrication of superparamagnetic MgFe2O4@SiO2 core-shell spherical nanoparticles with controlled shell thickness. First, core MgFe2O4 dense nano-spheres were directly synthesized by ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) technique from [...]

Hocaoglu I., Eral Dogan L., Dagtepe P., Kuantag Nanotechnologies Development and Production Inc., TR

Studies on the synthesis of Near IR emitting Quantum Dots have increased due to their potential in fiber optic communication systems, in photovoltaic cells, in NIR detectors-cameras, in biological applications including in vitro and in [...]

Characterization of Crosslinked Polymer Nanoparticles by Size-Exclusion Chromatography Coupled to Differential Viscometery

Kalantar T.H., Meunier D.M., Lyons J.W., Kiefer J.J., Niu Q.J., Li Y., Bouck K.J., Tucker C.J., Russo P.S., Cueto R., Dow Chemical Company, US

Conventional size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and size-exclusion chromatography coupled to differential viscometry (SEC/DV) methodologies have been developed and applied to the dilute suspension characterization of solvent-swollen crosslinked unimolecular polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) in the 5 ~ 50 [...]

Synergistic response of ionic liquid ([bmim][BF4]) entrapped in BHDC reverse micelles for gold nanoparticles synthesis. Size and morphology control

Blach D., Martinez F., Universidad Industrial de Santander, CO

Nanoparticles (NPs) have been extensively investigated for many application due to their unique properties, particularly gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) stand out because their properties triggered by small changes in their size and morphology. Nowadays, the great [...]

Atmospheric Pressure Spatial ALD onto Powders with Conventional Powder Handling Equipment

Spencer II J.A., Hall R.A., Trujillo-Sullivan K., Groner M.D., ALD NanoSolutions, Inc., US

The manufacturability of ALD coatings on commodity particle substrates requires the development of cost effective ALD processing for industrial scales. We have developed a fully continuous spatial particle ALD system based on conventional powder handling [...]

Effect of the Consolidation Techniques on the Mechanical Properties of Nanocrystalline Ti55C45 Powders Prepared by Mechanically Induced Self-Propagating Reaction

Sherif El-Eskandarany M., Al-Hazza A., Al-Hajji L., Shaban E., Al-Rowayeh A., Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research, KISR, KW

A single phase of NaCl-type TiC was obtained after 5 h of ball milling. To decrease the powder and grain sizes, the synthesized material was subjected to further ball milling time. The powders obtained after [...]
