Viruses and protein cages as nanocontainers and nanoreactors

Journal of Materials Chemistry, 2009
In this highlight, recent studies related to the use of viral capsids and other protein cages as nanocontainers and nanoreactors are discussed. The templating of chemical reactions within these biological hollow scaffolds is an emerging area which has allowed the synthesis of inorganic materials with nanoscale dimensions.

Nanocontainers as Corrosion Inhibitors

2022
Metal corrosion is an electrochemical degradation process whose consequences adversely impact the structural integrities of material structures upon interaction with different environments. To reduce this scourge, recent developments in coating designs have incorporated additives capable of providing stimulus-responsive functionalities toward self ...

Active Anticorrosion Coatings with Halloysite Nanocontainers

The Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 2008
This work contributes to the development of a new generation of active corrosion protection coatings composed of hybrid sol−gel films doped with halloysite nanotubes able to release entrapped corrosion inhibitors in a controllable way. A silica-zirconia-based hybrid film was used in this work as an anticorrosion coating deposited on 2024 aluminum alloy.

Nanocontainer-based corrosion sensing coating

Nanotechnology, 2013
The present paper reports on the development of new sensing active coating on the basis of nanocontainers containing pH-indicating agent. The coating is able to detect active corrosion processes on different metallic substrates. The corrosion detection functionality based on the local colour change in active cathodic zones results from the interaction ...

Silica nanocontainers for active corrosion protection

Nanoscale, 2012
Novel self-healing protective coatings with nanocontainers of corrosion inhibitors open new opportunities for long-term anticorrosion protection of different metallic materials. In this paper a new type of functional nanoreservoir based on silica nanocapsules (SiNC) synthesized and loaded with corrosion inhibitor 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (MBT) in a one ...

Halloysite Tubes as Nanocontainers for Anticorrosion Coating with Benzotriazole

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2009
Halloysite clay nanotubes were investigated as a tubular container for the corrosion inhibitor benzotriazole. Halloysite is a naturally occurring cylindrical clay mineral with an internal diameter in the nanometer range and a length up to several micrometers, yielding a high-aspect-ratio hollow tube structure.

Biocompatible Protein Nanocontainers for Controlled Drugs Release

ACS Nano, 2010
We designed a biocompatible carrier for controlled release of hydrophobic drugs. The designed carrier was prepared by sonicating oil in a protein aqueous solution forming a protein nanocontainer composed of an inner gel core and an outer protein shell.

“Smart” liposomal nanocontainers in biology and medicine

Biochemistry (Moscow), 2010
The perspectives of using liposomes for delivery of drugs to desired parts of the human body have been intensively investigated for more than 30 years. During this time many inventions have been suggested and different kinds of liposomal devices developed, and a number of them have reached the stages of preclinical or clinical trials.

How to make a protein-based nanocontainer

Science, 2017
Microcompartments Bacterial microcompartments are to bacteria what membrane-bound organelles are to eukaryotic cells. They are specialized subcellular compartments for colocalizing enzymes to enhance reaction rates, protect sensitive proteins, and sequester toxic intermediates. Sutter et al.
