Biological fouling, where marine microorganisms attach densely to various submerged
surfaces, has been a serious economic problem worldwide. Different from most antifouling …

Recently, gold nanoparticles (Au NPs) have been used to study the treatment of malignant
tumors due to their higher biocompatibility and lesser toxicity. In addition, they can be …

Zwitterionic nanoparticles are typically utilized as nanoprobes and delivery vehicles in
nanomedicine and therapeutics due to their resistance to interferences. Their high stability …

Novel “zwitterionic” gold nanorods (Au NRs) were constructed through a facile ligand
exchange process between cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)-Au NRs and the …

With the continuous development of the marine economy and the upgrading of marine
infrastructure, the increasing marine engineering equipment is facing a serious problem of …

The hyperthermia is an efficient technique for tumor treatment, in which the tumor is
subjected to a heating source, such as laser, supersonic or electromagnetic field. In order to …
