Polymeric nanoparticles are nanoscale-sized objects constructed from polymers such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) or polylactide-co-glycolide (PLGA), with applications in the in vitro delivery of ...

Iron oxide-incorporated conjugated polymer nanoparticles, also known as conjugated polymer nanoparticles (CPNs), are highly fluorescent particles composed of a semiconductor light-emitting polymer ...

In the dynamic realm of materials science, polymer nanocomposites have emerged as a revolutionary class of materials with unparalleled versatility and performance. From automotive engineering to ...

Gene delivery is, arguably, the biggest bottleneck in gene therapy. Adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) are the historical mainstay, but they are expensive to manufacture and have payload limits and ...

Over the past few decades, food packaging markets have captured the attention of researchers due to their direct impact on human health. Both metallic and nonmetallic materials find use in the food ...

In a recent study published in PLoS ONE, researchers developed nanocomposite coatings to prevent surface contamination by a human coronavirus (HCoV). Metals such as silver, copper, titanium oxide, and ...

Gene therapy holds promise for treating many diseases. However, clinical translation of gene therapy has been limited by the lack of approach for efficient and safe delivery of genetic materials to ...

Nanoprecipitation, also known as solvent displacement or interfacial deposition, is a widely used method for the synthesis of nanoparticles. It involves the precipitation of a dissolved material from ...
