The efficacy of drug delivery systems can be significantly enhanced by making them target-specific via the attachment of various ligands to their surface. We attempted to enhance tumor accumulation and therapeutic effect of doxorubicin-loaded long-circulating liposomes (Doxil, ALZA Corp.) by coupling to their surface…

An optical waveguide sensor was fabricated by forming a multilayer film made by porous anodic alumina (PAA) and Al layers on a glass substrate. The fabricated sensor system was based on the monitoring of a waveguide coupling mode, which is sensitive to the change in the refractive index of the PAA layer caused by coll…

The synthesis and characterization of a series of heteroleptic dipyrrinato/2,2'-bipyridine complexes of ruthenium(II) are reported. Spectroscopic analysis, including resonance Raman, indicates that the complexes are only weakly emissive and that the dipyrrin and Ru --> bipyridine (metal-to-ligand charge transfer) chro…

Highly oriented SiC porous nanowire (NW) arrays on Si substrate have been achieved via in situ carbonizing aligned Si NW arrays standing on Si substrate. The resultant SiC NW arrays inherit the diameter and length of the mother Si NW arrays. Field emission measurements show that these oriented SiC porous NW arrays are…

We report a thermosensitive microgel suspension that can be tuned reversibly between the glass state at low temperature and the liquid state at high temperature. Unlike hard spheres, we find that the glass transition for these suspensions is governed by both the volume fraction and the softness of the particles, where…

We report neutron-scattering measurements of cooperative spin excitations in antiferromagnetically ordered ${\text{BaFe}}_{2}{\text{As}}_{2}$, the parent phase of an iron pnictide superconductor. The data extend up to $\ensuremath{\sim}100\text{ }\text{meV}$ and show that the spin excitation spectrum is sharp and high…

Pd dendritic nanowire electrodes were synthesized by the electrodeposition method with different reduction potentials and deposition times. In particular, it was found that during the electrochemical deposition process, the Pd dendritic nanowire grew along the ⟨111⟩ direction resulting from the favorable adsorption of…

Salt formation is an approach to improve the physicochemical properties of the solid forms of an active pharmaceutical ingredient. As the anticonvulsant drug Lamotrigine presents low water solubility, a set of its salts with four different counterions has been obtained, and the influence of the counterion on the salt…

Steady-state photoluminescence (PL) quenching of colloidal CdSe/ZnS and CdSe quantum dots (QDs) induced by functionalized porphyrin molecules was investigated for various QD sizes. The majority of the observed strong quenching of the QD photoluminescence can be assigned to neither Förster resonant energy transfer (FRE…

We report a room-temperature high-pressure x-ray and Raman scattering investigation of lead titanate (PbTiO3) up to 63 GPa. Three continuous phase transitions at 13, 20, and 45 GPa between tetragonal-like phases occur. As a result, no evidence is found for a pressure-induced morphotropic phase boundary. Our study prov…
