Preparation and characterization of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles By Sol-Gel method [PDF]
The magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized and annealed under vacuum at different temperature. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles prepared via sol-gel assisted method and annealed at 200-400ºC were characterized by Fourier Transformation ...

Factors Affecting the Clearance and Biodistribution of Polymeric Nanoparticles
Nanoparticle (NP) drug delivery systems (5−250 nm) have the potential to improve current disease therapies because of their ability to overcome multiple biological barriers and releasing a therapeutic load in the optimal dosage range.

Effect of size of nanoparticles on the Wormlike micelle-nanoparticle system [PDF]
We investigate the effect of the size of nanoparticles on the behaviour of equilibrium polymers (Wormlike micelles) and nanoparticle system. The self-organised structures of nanoparticles in the system show a morphological change from percolating networks to non-percolating clusters with an increase in the minimum approaching distance (EVP-excluded ...

Formulation and evaluation of butenafine loaded PLGA-nanoparticulate laden chitosan nano gel
The present research work is designed to prepare and optimize butenafine (BT) loaded poly lactic co glycolic acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (BT-NPs). BT-NPs were prepared by emulsification probe sonication method using PLGA (A), PVA (B) as polymer and ...

Tunable variation of optical properties of polymer capped gold nanoparticles [PDF]
Optical properties of polymer capped gold nanoparticles of various sizes (diameter 3-6 nm) have been studied. We present a new scheme to extract size dependent variation of total dielectric function of gold nanoparticles from measured UV-Vis absorption data. The new scheme can also be used, in principle, for other related systems as well.

Polymeric Nanoparticles: Production, Characterization, Toxicology and Ecotoxicology
Polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) are particles within the size range from 1 to 1000 nm and can be loaded with active compounds entrapped within or surface-adsorbed onto the polymeric core. The term “nanoparticle” stands for both nanocapsules and nanospheres,

Effect of the strength of attraction between nanoparticles on Wormlike micelle-nanoparticle system [PDF]
The nanoparticle-Equilibrium polymer (or Wormlike micellar) system shows morphological changes from percolating network-like structures to non-percolating clusters with a change in the minimum approaching distance (EVP-excluded volume parameter) between nanoparticles and the matrix of equilibrium polymers.

Surface Plasmon Enhanced Photoconductance of Gold Nanoparticle Arrays with Incorporated Alkane Linkers [PDF]
We report on a photoconductive gain effect in two-dimensional arrays of gold nanoparticles, in which alkane molecules are inserted. The nanoparticle arrays are formed by a self-assembly process from alkanethiol-coated gold nanoparticles, and subsequently they are patterned on a Si/SiO2 chip by a microcontact printing technique.

Synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and their application for simultaneous photocatalytic oxidation of As(III) and sorption of As(V) [PDF]
In this study, the effectiveness of TiO2 nanoparticles in removing arsenic species from water was enhanced by the photocatalytic oxidation by conversion of As(III) to As(V), which adsorbs more strongly onto the solid phase of adsorbent than As(III ...
