Theranostic nanomedicine is emerging as a promising therapeutic paradigm. It takes
advantage of the high capacity of nanoplatforms to ferry cargo and loads onto them both …

Nanocomposites have emerged in the last two decades as an efficient strategy to upgrade
the structural and functional properties of synthetic polymers. Aliphatic polyesters as …

The preparation of effective dispersions of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) presents a major
impediment to the extension and utilization of CNTs. CNTs intrinsically tend to bundle and/or …

Since their first discovery, 1-3 carbon nanomaterials, including fullerenes and carbon
nanotubes (CNTs), have attracted special attention in terms of potential applications in …

The unidirectional growth of materials to form nanowires or nanotubes has attracted
enormous interest in recent years. Within the different classes of tubes made of organic or …

A systematic molecular dynamics study shows that the contact angle of a water droplet on
graphite changes significantly as a function of the water− carbon interaction energy …

Carbon nanotubes can be functionalized via amidation and esterification of the nanotube-
bound carboxylic acids. The solubility of these functionalized carbon nanotubes makes it …

Enzyme immobilizations on carbon nanotubes for fabrication of biosensors and biofuel cells
and for preparation of biocatalysts are rapidly emerging as new research areas. Various …

Hydrogels that mimic biological extracellular matrix (ECM) can provide cells with mechanical
support and signaling cues to regulate their behavior. However, despite the ability of …
