Nanoparticles formulated with PLGA have been shown to be rapidly uptaken by the endothelial cells, the uptake was shown to depend on the nanoparticle concentration and the particles where mainly shown to localize in the cytoplasm (207). These nanoparticles were also shown to be biocompatible with the cells with no effect on cell viability (207). This is important due to the fact that endothelium is an important target for gene therapy in a number of disorders including angiogenesis, atherosclerosis, tumor growth, myocardial infarction, limb and cardiac ischemia, restenosis (207).

Some important observations, which should apply de facto to many nematic systems containing dispersed nanoparticles, particularly those with metal or semiconductor cores, were reported in 2006 by Prasad et al. [297]. The authors found that gold nanoparticles stabilized with dodecanethiol decreased the isotropic to nematic phase transition of 4-pentyl-4 -cyanobiphenyl (5CB) almost linearly with increasing nanoparticle concentration (x p) and increased the overall conductivity of these mixtures by about two orders of magnitude. However, the anisotropy of the electric conductivity (Act = [Pg.349]

Yoshida et al. recently disclosed an alternative method that allowed them to produce stable suspensions of gold nanoparticles (1-2 nm in diameter) in nematic liquid crystals [315]. They used a simple sputter deposition process, which allowed them to prepare thin liquid crystal films of well-dispersed gold nanoparticles in both 5CB and E47 (available from Merck) with a nanoparticle size depending on the used nematic liquid crystal. Unfortunately, the authors did not provide any details on whether the nanoparticles were capped with a ligand or bare, non-coated particles, which makes it difficult to assess and compare the reported thermal as well as electro-optic data. However, very similar effects were found as a result of nanoparticle doping, including lower nematic-to-isotropic phase transition temperatures compared to the used pure nematics as well as 10% lower threshold voltages at nanoparticle concentrations below 1 wt% [315].

This chapter is devoted to describe the impact of metallic nanosphere to the multi-photon excitation fluorescence of Tryptophan, and little further consideration to multi-photon absorption process will be given, as the reader can find several studies in [11-14]. In section II, the nonlinear light-matter interaction in composite materials is discussed through the mechanism of nonlinear susceptibilities. In section III, experimental results of fluorescence induced by multi-photon absorption in Tryptophan are reported and analyzed. Section IV described the main results of this chapter, which is the effect of metallic nanoparticles on the fluorescent emission of the Tryptophan excited by a multi-photon process. Influence of nanoparticle concentration on the Tryptophan-silver colloids is observed and discussed based coi a nonlinear generalization of the Maxwell Garnett model, introduced in section II. The main conclusion of the chapter is given in secticHi IV.

Using the so-called two-step process [15, 16], polymer nanoparticles are first synthesized via emulsion polymerization. The size of the resulting nanoparticles can be tuned by a simple process parameter and covers a range of about 30-400 nm. In a second step these nanoparticles are used to coat microbubbles in a controlled bubble formation process. The nanoparticles migrate to the surface of the bubbles (this is related to the interface activity of hydrophobic nanoparticles in general) and build a monolayer around the bubbles. Consequently, the size of the nanoparticles determines the shell thickness of the final microcapsules. Additionally, a carefully chosen nanoparticle concentration regime results in a certain microcapsule size distribution. In principle, particle sizes in the range of 0.5-10 jum can be adjusted and the microcapsule size distributions are ex-...

The macroscopic effects of the integration of nanoparticles into the polymer matrix are quite remarkable. For example, the barrier properties of the new systems are enhanced since the diffusion of gas molecules through the material is largely retarded. A lower permeability of O2 is obtained without substantially modifying the production method of films, containers, bottles, etc. Oxygen permeability decreases drastically with nanoparticle concentration. 

Most important factors that influence the overall conductivity of polymer-based nanocomposites are the character of the polymer matrix, the properties of nanoparticles, concentration of nanoparticles, and interfacial interactions of nanoparticles and polymer matrix. 

Intrinsic tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine fluorescence quenching induced by gold NPs was recorded on a Cary Eclipse fluorescence spectrophotometer (Varian). Excitation was performed at 280 nm. Fluorescence emission was measured at 25°C in DPBS (without Ca and Mg " ) containing various concentrations of gold NPs.
