The poor stability and tendency to agglomerate of unfunctionalized nano-SiO2 in the
presence of ionic species presents a challenge for preparing poly (methacrylic acid)/nano …

This chapter provides an overview of soft and environmentally sensitive polymeric
nanosystems, which are widely known as nanogels. These particles keep great promise to …

Phthalocyanine (Pc) is a type of promising sensitizer molecules for photodynamic therapy
(PDT), but its hydrophobicity substantially prevents its applications. In this study, we …

Thermosensitive N-isopropylacrylamide based cationic microgels (μG) were synthesized
and complexed with anionic liposomes containing encapsulated antitumor antibiotic …

Lipid–polymer hybrid materials have the potential to exhibit enhanced stability and loading
capabilities in comparison to parent liposome or polymer materials. However, complexities …

Gels are dispersions of a discontinuous liquid phase molecule in a continuous solid phase,
or, they are dilute cross-linked systems with three dimensional networks within an extending …

Recently, it has been found that nonionic aliphatic and aromatic poly (ester sulfone) s show
anode selective electrophoretic behavior, and it is shown that the electrophoresis is induced …

Gene therapy includes introduction of alien genomic materials incorporation into host cells
which may stimulate therapeutic effects. 1 Gene therapy targets against genetic disorders …

As well as being model cell membranes, lipid vesicles are widely used as an encapsulation
technology due to their impermeable membrane. Hydrogels are similarly useful due to their …

Calcium is one of the most important elements in the human body. Insoluble calcium
particles are often used in calcium-fortified food products, such as calcium-fortified milk …
