Of the laboratory devices available for examining the effects of single-phase fluid flow on corrosion, the rotating cylinder electrode is probably one of the simplest devices to construct and operate under defined hydrodynamics in the turbulent flow regime. This review examines several areas important to the use of th…

A synthesized hyperbranched polymer, which is chemically analogous to PAMAM dendrimers, was used to prepare water “soluble” gold nanoparticles. The open structure of the hyperbranched polymer compared to the dendrimer architecture facilitates the interactions of metal ions (e.g., AuCl4-) with the internal chemical fun…

Feldspar nucleation rate data obtained by laboratory decompression of hydrous silicate melt are interpreted in view of the classical theory of nucleation (CNT) and a non-classical variation, the diffuse- interface theory (DIT). The nucleation rate data can be modeled by the CNT formalism only if the interfacial free e…

The electronic properties of ${\mathrm{FeCl}}_{3}$ intercalated single-wall carbon nanotubes were investigated using high-resolution electron energy-loss spectroscopy in transmission and optical spectroscopy. The lowering of the nanotube Fermi level is directly measured via electronic excitations from C $1s$ to empty…

Tumour cell-targeted liposomal delivery has the potential to enhance the therapeutic efficacy and reduce the toxicity of anticancer agents. Folate receptor (FR) expression is frequently amplified among human malignancies. FR is, therefore, potentially useful as a tumour marker for targeted drug delivery. FR-mediated l…

The use of many common clinically relevant chemotherapeutics is often limited due to insufficient delivery to the tumor and dose-limiting systemic toxicities. Therefore, therapeutics that specifically target tumor cells and are nontoxic to normal cells are required. Here, we report the development of a novel class of…
