Advanced Materials: Advancing Technology Through Measurement Science
Established in 1962, the Polymers Division in the Material Measurement Laboratory of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) will soon celebrate its 50th year as a world leader in polymers research.
Nanochemistry – When It Rains It Pores
Professor Geoffrey Ozin from the University of Toronto reviews porous materials—how the research goals have varied over the years, where we are today, and what these materials may offer in the future.
Click Chemistry for Gene Therapy
A reducibly-degradable hyperbranched polymer PEI-SS-HP composed of LMW PEI via a disulfide-containing linkage is demonstrated as a promising gene vector.
Advanced Energy Materials: Free online access to inaugural issue
The January 2011 issue of new journal Advanced Energy Materials is now freely available online at www.advenergymat.de.
Nontoxic Nanoparticles
US scientists show the mechanism of toxicity of gold nanoparticles in living cells, and demonstrate that the nanoparticles are not toxic under diagnostic conditions.
Fever Responsive Drug Delivery
Chinese scientists developed a temperature-sensitive drug release system based on titanium nanotubes. A smart hydrogel layer acts as controlling barrier and releases drug for local drug therapy.
Alignment of Nanotubes within Nanocomposites Defines Strength
A rigorous study by British and Irish scientists demonstrates a clear relationship between alignment and loading of nanotubes in nanocomposites and the nanocomposite mechanical properties.
Anisotropic Micro- and Nano-Capsules
Precise reproduction of inorganic template shape to create hollow cubic and tetrahedral polymeric capsules with excellent pH, shape, and mechanical stability after core removal
