Effective nanomedical devices for tumor imaging and drug delivery are not yet available. In an attempt to construct a more functional device for tumor imaging, we have embedded quantum dots (which have poor circulatory behavior) within hydrogel nanoparticles made of poly-N-isopropylacrylamide. We found that the hydrog…

The separation of metallic and semiconducting single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) was achieved using sucrose as a gradient medium in density-gradient ultracentrifugations (sucrose-DGU). By lowering the temperature during sucrose-DGU and tuning the concentrations of the surfactants, metallic and semiconducting SWCNT…

In order to evaluate the role of 3(S)-hydroxyproline [3(S)-Hyp] in the triple-helical structure, we produced a series of model peptides with nine tripeptide units including 0-9 3(S)-hydroxyproline residues. The sequences are H-(Gly-Pro-4(R)Hyp)(l)-(Gly-3(S)Hyp-4(R)Hyp)(m)-(Gly-Pro-4(R)Hyp)(n)-OH, where (l, m, n) = (9,…

A monomer having a 2,4,5-triphenylimidazole moiety was prepared by the reaction of benzoin and 3-vinylbenzaldehyde with ammonium acetate and 1-butylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate in moderate yield. The radical copolymerization of the obtained monomer and MMA were carried out at 60 °C for 24 h by using AIBN (5 mol %) as…

The adsorptions of a glycine molecule as well as dehydrogenated radicals on the side walls of both intrinsic and boron-doped (B-doped) single-walled (8,0) carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) were investigated by a density functional theory. A glycine molecule tends to physically adsorb on intrinsic SWCNTs yet chemically adsorb…

Nowadays, the end-of-life of plastic products and the decrease of fossil energy are great environmental problems. Moreover, with the increase of food and nonfood transformations of renewable resources, the quantities of agro-industrial byproducts and wastes increase hugely. These facts allow the development of plastic…

Recent studies of chitosan have increased the interest in its conversion to chitooligosaccharides (COSs) because these compounds are water-soluble and have potential use in several biomedical applications. Furthermore, such oligomers may be more advantageous than chitosans because of their much higher absorption profi…
