Sustained Release of Antibacterial Agents from Doped Halloysite Nanotubes
Bioengineering, 2015 The use of nanomaterials for improving drug delivery methods has been shown to be advantageous technically and viable economically. This study employed the use of halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) as nanocontainers, as well as enhancers of structural integrity

Dodecylamine-loaded halloysite nanocontainers for active anticorrosion coatings
Frontiers in Materials, 2015 Currently the most promising approach in the corrosion protection by smart coatings is the use of nanoreservoirs loaded with corrosion inhibitors. Nanocontainers are filled with anti-corrosive agents and embedded into a primer coating. Future prospective

Nanotechnological Applications Based on Bacterial Encapsulins
Nanomaterials, 2021 Encapsulins are proteinaceous nanocontainers, constructed by a single species of shell protein that self-assemble into 20–40 nm icosahedral particles. Encapsulins are structurally similar to the capsids of viruses of the HK97-like lineage, to which they ...

Advances in Single-Chain Nanoparticles for Catalysis Applications
Nanomaterials, 2017 Enzymes are the most efficient catalysts known for working in an aqueous environment near room temperature. The folding of individual polymer chains to functional single-chain nanoparticles (SCNPs) offers many opportunities for the development of ...

Virus-assisted loading of polymer nanocontainer [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2002 We present a DNA-containing polymeric nanocontainer using the self-assembled superstructure of amphiphilic block copolymers in aqueous solutions. To demonstrate that DNA translocation is possible across a completely synthetic block copolymer membrane, we have used a phage transfection strategy as a DNA-transfer model system.

Engineering Compartmentalized Biomimetic Micro- and Nanocontainers [PDF]
ACS Nano, 2017 Compartmentalization of biological content and function is a key architectural feature in biology, where membrane bound micro- and nanocompartments are used for performing a host of highly specialized and tightly regulated biological functions. The benefit of compartmentalization as a design principle is behind its ubiquity in cells and has led to it ...

Biomimetic Hybrid Nanocontainers with Selective Permeability [PDF]
Angewandte Chemie, 2016 AbstractChemistry plays a crucial role in creating synthetic analogues of biomacromolecular structures. Of particular scientific and technological interest are biomimetic vesicles that are inspired by natural membrane compartments and organelles but avoid their drawbacks, such as membrane instability and limited control over cargo transport across the ...
