Adsorption of Nanoceria by Phosphocholine Liposomes
(American Chemical Society, 2016-12-13)Nanoceria (CeO2 nanoparticle) possesses a number of enzyme-like activities. In particular, it scavenges reactive oxygen species based on in-vitro and in vivo antioxidation studies. An important aspect of fundamental physical ... -
Interfacing Zwitterionic Liposomes with Inorganic Nanomaterials: Surface Forces, Membrane Integrity, and Applications
(American Chemical Society, 2016-05-10)Zwitterionic phosphocholine (PC) lipids are the main constituent of the mammalian cell membrane. PC bilayers are known for their antifouling properties, yet they are adsorbed by all tested inorganic nanoparticles. This ... -
Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticle Seeded Growth of Nucleotide Coordinated Polymers
(American Chemical Society, 2016-06-22)The introduction of functional molecules to the surface of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) is of critical importance. Most previously reported methods were focused on surface ligand attachment either by physisorption ... -
Profiling Metal Oxides with Lipids: Magnetic Liposomal Nanoparticles Displaying DNA and Proteins
(Wiley, 2016-09-19)Metal oxides include many important materials with various surface properties. For biomedical and analytical applications, it is desirable to engineer their biocompatible interfaces. Herein, a phosphocholine liposome (DOPC) ...
