A comparative study is performed on Hypericum perforatum ( H. perforatum ) and doxorubicin (Dox) anticancer agents. Double emulsion and sonication techniques were used to enhance drug loading efficiency in poly(lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs). To distinguish the efficiency of the double emulsion me…

The photoluminescence properties of cadmium-selenide (CdSe) quantum dots with an average size of ∼3 nm, embedded in a liquid-crystal polymer matrix are studied. It was found that an increase in the quantum-dot concentration results in modification of the intrinsic (exciton) photoluminescence spectrum in the range 500–…
