This book was released on 2022-11-05 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emerging Applications of Carbon Nanotubes in Drug and Gene Delivery brings together principles behind the formation, characterization and development of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with recent advances in drug and gene delivery applications. The book begins with an introduction to the unique properties of CNTs, as well as the various synthesis, purification and functionalization methods available. Later chapters cover drug and gene delivery using CNTs for therapeutic applications, comparing advantages and disadvantages of each. The book then goes on to discuss toxicity and safety challenges in using CNTs in biomedicine, with a forward-look at regulatory requirements and clinical translations. This book offers a detailed reference for materials scientists, biomedical engineers, pharmaceutical scientists and geneticists interested in CNTs and nanomedicine. - Provides focused coverage of nanotubes for use in drug and gene delivery applications, offering much-needed detail amongst broader nanomedicine texts - Details the properties, characterization, synthesis, functionalization and applications of CNTs in drug and gene delivery - Discusses toxicity, safety and regulatory aspects of CNTs, with a look towards the clinical translation of CNTs
Download or read book Propri t s m caniques des nanotubes de carbone en tant que nanosondes et leurs fonctionnalisation par bio nanoparticules written by Charlotte Bernard and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La fixation d'un nanotube de carbone à l'extrémité d'une pointe AFM constitue une des approches priviliégiées pour améliorer l'exploitation des sondes locales de force. Nous présentons ici une étude comparative de nanotubes de carbone obtenus par dépôt chimique de vapeur soit en simple ou double feuillets (diamètre typique de l'ordre de 2 à 4 nm) soit en multiples fuillets (diamètre de l'ordre de 70 nm) ancrés sur la pointe. L'étude en mode dynamique de modulationde fréquence des propriétés mécaniques des nanotubes permet de mettre en évidence la compétition entre l'adhésion du nanotube sur la surface et l'énergie élastique stockée au cours de sa déformation. En tant que nanosonde, le nanotube de carbone présente plusieurs avantages et, par le bias d'une fonctionnalisation spécifique, peut même devenir une sonde bien adaptée pour l'étude des systèmes biologiques. Nous proposons ici une méhode de mesure de la reconnaissance spécifique entre un peptide et un matériau non biologique afin d'envisager par la suite la fonctionnalisation des pointes AFM. Cette méthode exploite des nanoparticules fonctionnalisées avec des séquences d'acides aminés, synthétisées à partir de résultats d'approche de biologie moléculaire. Ces séquences peptidiques seront ensuite fixées sur une pointe AFM sur laquelle est ancré un nanotube de carbone ou sur une pointe usinée avec un faisceau d'ions focalisés. La fonctionnalisation se réalise ensuite par trempage, à l'aide d'un AFM dynamique, de la pointe oscillante dans une solution diluée de nanoparticules. Les mesures des déplacements de fréquence et de la dissipation peuvent nous indiquer comment les nanoparticules interagissent avec la pointe.
Download or read book Flexoelectricity in Liquid Crystals written by Agnes Buka and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2013 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book intends to give a state-of-the-art overview of flexoelectricity, a linear physical coupling between mechanical (orientational) deformations and electric polarization, which is specific to systems with orientational order, such as liquid crystals. Chapters written by experts in the field shed light on theoretical as well as experimental aspects of research carried out since the discovery of flexoelectricity. Besides a common macroscopic (continuum) description the microscopic theory of flexoelectricity is also addressed. Electro-optic effects due to or modified by flexoelectricity as well as various (direct and indirect) measurement methods are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the role of flexoelectricity in pattern-forming instabilities. While the main focus of the book lies in flexoelectricity in nematic liquid crystals, peculiarities of other mesophases (bent-core systems, cholesterics, and smectics) are also reviewed. Flexoelectricity has relevance to biological (living) systems and can also offer possibilities for technical applications. The basics of these two interdisciplinary fields are also summarized.

Download or read book Membrane Proteins Production for Structural Analysis written by Isabelle Mus-Veteau and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book updates the latest development in production, stabilization and structural analysis techniques of membrane proteins. This field has made significant advances since the elucidation of the first 3-D structure of a recombinant G Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR), rhodopsin, with the structure of several more GPCRs having been solved in the past five years. In fact, the 2012 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for groundbreaking discoveries on the inner workings of GPCRs. This book is essential reading for all researchers, biochemists and crystallographers working with membrane proteins, who are interested by the structural characterization of their favorite protein and who wish to follow the expression, migration, modifications and recycling of a membrane protein.
Download or read book Nonlinear Optical Materials written by Jerome V. Moloney and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-08-13 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mathematical methods play a significant role in the rapidly growing field of nonlinear optical materials. This volume discusses a number of successful or promising contributions. The overall theme of this volume is twofold: (1) the challenges faced in computing and optimizing nonlinear optical material properties; and (2) the exploitation of these properties in important areas of application. These include the design of optical amplifiers and lasers, as well as novel optical switches. Research topics in this volume include how to exploit the magnetooptic effect, how to work with the nonlinear optical response of materials, how to predict laser-induced breakdown in efficient optical devices, and how to handle electron cloud distortion in femtosecond processes.
