Longitudinally twisted acenes are a topologically interesting class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and it could be argued that they have quite beautiful chemical structures, too. X-ray crystal analysis of many ...

Positron annihilation in various materials has been applied to characterize microstructure for decades. In this work, PALS was used to study material nanostructure, with a focus on the size and density of free volume ...

Conjugated polymers have found a wide range of electronic applications in last few decades due to their superior combination of optoelectronic, mechanical properties, and solution processability. In the past few years, ...

Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are interesting discotic liquid crystalline materials. Their often planar or near-planar geometry and extended π-delocalization render them appealing π-π stacking building blocks ...

Controlling the interactions between incident electromagnetic energy and matter is of critical importance for many civil and military applications, such as photocatalysis, solar cells, optics, radar detection, communications, ...

We have successfully synthesized pentablock (PB) copolymers comprised of various FDA approved polymer blocks such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), polycaprolactone (PCL), polylactic acid (PLA) and polyglycolic acid (PGA). PB ...

Due to the high tendency to form π-stacked ordered phases, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are attractive building blocks for the assembly of conjugated systems for electronic applications. The body of this ...

Pentablock (PB) copolymers have been successfully synthesized for long term delivery in the treatment of posterior segment ocular diseases. PB copolymers are comprised of FDA approved biodegradable polymer such as ...

The infrared and Raman spectra of compounds with amino, phosphours, silane and hydroxyl functional groups, as well as some with cyclic skeletal structures have been recorded of the gas and in condensed phases. Temperature ...

to achieve absorption probabilities of a few percentages: 1.5–4% for 10 MeV neutrons for natural uranium oxides, ∼2% for 1 MeV neutrons for ²³⁵U-based uranium oxides, and 7–9% for thermal neutrons for natural uranium oxides, assuming each detector is 1 cm...

As the size of a solid shrinks, the ratio of surface area to bulk volume grows and surface effects become more important. In a world where technologies advance with the shrinking size of electronic devices, one phase of ...

Several formulation strategies have been employed to enable sustained delivery of antibody therapeutics by nanoparticulate based dosage forms. However, development of sustained release nanoparticulate based dosage form for ...

Biotinylated lipid prodrugs of acyclovir (ACV) were designed to target the sodium dependent multivitamin transporter (SMVT) on the intestine and cornea to facilitate ACV cellular transport. All the prodrugs were screened ...

The objective of Part I (Protein production for structural elucidation using NMR) is to design and develop strategies of producing amyloid beta protein for structural analysis using NMR. Amyloid beta oligomers are considered ...

Part 1: Dexamethasone is one of the most widely used drug molecules for the treatment of posterior segment ocular diseases. The major problems associated with the delivery of dexamethasone include its poor aqueous solubility ...

Pentablock copolymers comprised of multi-polymer blocks such as polyethylene glycol (PEG), polycaprolactone (PCL) and poly-lactide (PLA) were developed for fabrication of nanoparticles and thermosensitive hydrogel ...

The objective of this study was to develop a clear, aqueous drug loaded nanomicellar formulation (NMF) for the back-of-the-eye delivery. Hydrophobic drugs such as cyclosporine, resolvin analog (RX-10045), dexamethasone ...

Biomacromolecules, mainly nucleic acids and proteins, are involved in every cellular process and therefore their aberrant level or function is linked with most of the diseases. Controlling these macromolecules using light ...

HIV/AIDS still continues to be a pandemic and global emergency and is a leading cause of death among the women of reproductive age (15-49 yr). Women are more vulnerable for HIV infection due to anatomical and physiological ...
