Strategies for the nanoencapsulation of hydrophilic molecules in polymer-based nanoparticles [PDF]
, 2011 Hydrophilic drug delivery still remains a challenge; this either being attributed to the fragility and poor cellular penetration of macromolecules, or to the unsuitable pharmacokinetics and toxicity of small drugs, for instance anticancer agents.

Textiles screen-printed with photochromic ethyl cellulose-spirooxazine composite nanoparticles [PDF]
, 2013 Photochromic compounds change colour on exposure to light, while the reversion may be attributable either to radiation or may be thermal. The use of photochromism on fabrics can provide new opportunities to develop smart textiles; for example, sensors ...
