Luminescent polymer latexes loaded with lanthanide complexes have been synthesized by miniemulsion polymerization. A self-assembled europium complex was embedded into poly(methyl methacrylate) nanoparticles without covalent linking and compared to a commer ...
Gold and rhodium nanoparticles stabilized by a cationic polymer can be readily modified by anion exchange to afford nanoparticles that may be dispersed in a wide range of organic solvents and ionic liquids. The catalytic activity of the Rh nanoparticle dis ...
Aluminum nitride (AlN) particle reinforced metal-matrix-composites produced by pressure infiltration are characterized in terms of their thermal conductivity. The composites are designed to cover a wide range of phase contrast between the dispersed particl ...
The ultimate control over chain self-assembly is key to unravel and optimize the relationship between film microstructure and charge carrier mobility in solution processable conjugated polymer semiconductors. Here we employ preparatory size exclusion chrom ...
The connectedness percolation threshold (eta(c)) and critical coordination number (Z(c)) of systems of penetrable spherocylinders characterized by a length polydispersity are studied by way of Monte Carlo simulations for several aspect ratio distributions. ...
The size of a nanomedicine strongly correlates with its biodistribution, tissue penetration, and cell uptake. However, there is limited understanding how the size of nanomedicine impacts the overall antitumor efficacy. We designed and synthesized camptothe ...
Due to the already prevalent and increasing use of silver-nanoparticle (Ag-NP) products and the raised concerns in particular for the aquatic environment, analytical techniques for the characterization of such products are of need. However, because Ag-NP p ...
Drug-containing nanoparticles (NPs) with monodisperse, controlled particle sizes are highly desirable for drug delivery. Accumulating evidence suggests that NPs with sizes less than 50 nm demonstrate superior performance in vitro and in vivo. However, it i ...
Aliphatic polyesters receive increasing attention over the last years driven by their application as biodegradable substitutes for conventional commodity thermoplastics and applications in the biomedical field, where amongst the family of biodegradable pol ...
Colloidal organic matter (COM) collected in small and large watercourse tributaries of the Negro River (Brazil) were fractionated and characterized by an asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AFIFFF) coupled to UV and seven angle laser light scatteri ...
