Nanomedicine

Silica nanoparticles are effective fluorophore carriers with high potential in imaging, diagnostics, and therapy. The particles are resistant to drastic change of environmental conditions (pH, temperature etc.) and insulate the dyes so as to protect them from photobleaching. Sil…

The field of nanomedicine has witnessed an incredible expansion, from a total market value in 2003 of 500 million expected to rise to 160 billion by 2015 (Global Industry Analysts, Inc.). The nanomedicine industry is forecasted to grow and have a significant impact on the econom…

In nanomaterials there is a strong correlation between structure and properties. Thus, the design and synthesis of nanomaterials with well-defined structures and morphology is essential in order to produce materials with not only unique but also tailorable properties. The unique…
