Interest continues to grow in the possibility of understanding the mechanism(s) of nanoparticle-cell interactions. At present there is little knowledge, and essentially no understanding, of the relevant length and time ...
Nanoparticles are considered a primary vehicle for targeted therapies because they can pass biological barriers, enter and distribute in cells by energy-dependent pathways1-3. Until now, most studies have shown that ...
A spatio-temporal mapping of the uptake of silica (SiO2) nanoparticles of different sizes by lung epithelial cells has been obtained. Based on high control of nanoparticle dispersion in cell media and cell exposure, one ...
Central to understanding how nanoscale objects interact with living matter is the need for reproducible and verifiable data that can be interpreted with confidence. Likely this will be the basis of durable advances in ...
4-Dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP)-stabilized palladium nanoparticles with a mean diameter of 3.4 +/- 0.5 mn are prepared from the aqueous phase reduction of Na2PdCl4 using NaBH4 in the presence of DMAP. TEM and UV-vis ...
Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations have been performed for static electric fields for a range of positively charged spherical rutile–titania nanoparticles with radii of 1.5 to 2.9 nm for two different ...
The paper presents a facile method for decreasing the size of water dispersible Ni nanoparticles from 30 nm to 3 nm by the incorporation of a passivating surfactant combination of pluronic triblock copolymer and oleic acid ...
Pd nanoparticles (with a mean diameter of 3.4 ± 0.5 nm) prepared through BH4− reduction of Na2PdCl4 can catalyse selective H–D exchange (through reaction with D2O) at the carbon α to the N atom of a pyridine ring. Oxidised ...
An aqueous phase dispersion of Pd nanoparticles stabilised by 4-dimethylaminopyridine (DMAP) promotes model Suzuki coupling reactions. The dispersion contains Pd nanoparticles of 3.4 ± 0.5 nm and a Pd(II) species ...
We studied the phase diagrams of microemulsions with a view to using these systems for the synthesis of metallic Pt, Pb, and Bi nanoparticles as well as of intermetallic Pt/Pb and Pt/Bi nanoparticles. The microemulsions ...
