A silk-fibroin-based transparent triboelectric generator suitable for autonomous sensor network

Jürgen Brugger, Xiao Sheng Zhang

In recent years, a new electriﬁcation-based mechanism called triboelectric generator (TEG) has been demonstrated as a stable and renewable power source to convert ambient energy into remarkable electrical output. Various TEG conﬁgurations have been propose ...

Anisotropic magnetic polymer nanocomposite with self-assembled chains of titania-coated magnetite nanoparticles

Yves Leterrier, Tommaso Nardi

An anisotropic magnetic nanocomposite has been prepared by incorporating magnetite nanoparticles (average size: 19nm) in titania (TiO2) particles with a typical size of about 100nm, which are sub- sequently dispersed in a liquid epoxy monomer cured under a ...

Towards a new generation of fibre-optic chemical sensors based on spider silk threads

Luc Thévenaz, Isabelle Dicaire, Kenny Hey Tow, Desmond Chow Ming Chia

A spider uses up to seven different types of silk, all having specific functions, to build its web. For scientists, native silk - directly extracted from spiders - is a tough, biodegradable and biocompatible thread used mainly for tissue engineering and te ...

Improved dynamic response assessment for intra-articular injected iron oxide nanoparticles

Heinrich Hofmann, Jatuporn Salaklang, Alke Fink

The emerging importance of nanoparticle technology, including iron oxide nanoparticles for monitoring development, progression, and treatment of inflammatory diseases such as arthritis, drives development of imaging techniques. Studies require an imaging p ...

Triggered Release from Liposomes through Magnetic Actuation of Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Containing Membranes

Esther Amstad, Thomas Schweizer

The ideal nanoscale drug delivery vehicle allows control over the released dose in space and time. We demonstrate that this can be achieved by stealth liposomes comprising self-assembled superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) individually stabili ...
