Aggregation of nanoparticles on one and two-component bilayer membranes
(AIP Publishing, 2014)Using dissipative particle dynamics simulations the aggregation of nanoparticles on single and two-component bilayers is investigated. For a uniform bilayer the aggregation of nanoparticlesdepends strongly on the location ... -
Effect of substrate geometry on liquid-crystal-mediated nanocylinder-substrate interactions
(American Institute of Physics, 2008)Using classical density functional theory, the liquid crystal (LC)-mediated interaction between a cylindrical nanoparticle and a structured substrate is studied. The surface is structured by cutting a rectangular groove ... -
Fluorescence study of bovine serum albumin and Ti and Sn Oxide nanoparticles interactions.
(The Optical Society, 2007)Nanochemistry offers stimulating opportunities for a wide variety of applications in the biosciences. Understanding of the interaction of nanoparticles with biomolecules such as proteins is very important as it can help ... -
Molecular dynamics study of nanoparticle stability at liquid interfaces: effect of nanoparticle-solvent interaction and capillary waves
(AIP Publishing, 2011)While the interaction of colloidal particles (sizes in excess of 100 nm) with liquidinterfaces may be understood in terms of continuum models, which are grounded in macroscopic properties such as surface and line tensions, ... -
Molecular simulation of nanoparticle diffusion at fluid interfaces
(2010)Using molecular dynamics simulations the transport properties of a model nanoparticle in solution are studied. In bulk solvent the translational diffusion coefficients are in good agreement with previous simulation and ... -
Quantum dots in bio-imaging and drug delivery
(2015-11-23)This work explores a range of bionanomaterials, with particular attention to their influence on cell growth, function and fate. Also the issue of intracellular nanoparticles quantification has been addressed in experimental ... -
Synthesis of polymer-silica hybrid microparticles with defined geometry using surface initiated atom transfer radical polymerization
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)Nanostructured polymer/silica hybrid materials have gained attention as they combine the advantageous properties of organic and inorganic materials in one entity. Herein, we report incorporation of chloromethyl moieties ... -
Thermosensitive hydrogel for prolonged delivery of lentiviral vector expressing neurotrophin-3 in vitro
(Wiley, 2011-11-01)Background The development of tissue engineering scaffolds for gene delivery has the potential to enhance gene transfer efficiency and safety via controlled temporal and spatial delivery. Lentiviral delivery can be carried ... -
Wavelength dependence of femtosecond laser ablation of thin gold films
(2014-05-26)The demand for efficient laser processing of materials is as strong as ever and this requires a deep understanding of the fundamental laser-material interactions. There has been a recent upsurge in the number of studies ...
