The future of #therapeutics is potent biological drugs, many of which have #delivery challenges with respect to how much drug needs to be delivered to exactly where in the body, while minimizing #side_effects.
Loading #antiviral agents on #graphene_oxide (GO) enhances its biocompatibility while reducing the cytotoxicity of both GO and the antiviral agents.
Due to their two-dimensional structure, sharp edges, and negatively charged surfaces, #graphene_oxide nanosheets are capable of interacting with microorganisms such as #bacteria and #viruses.
#InnoMatLife - founded by the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment - is a joint research project investigating the #health and environmental risk of novel materials. The project considers the full material life cycle, from synthesis to disposal.
Addition of 5% reduced #graphene oxide to the carbon black anode material, resulted in a 324% increase in the #anode_discharge capacity in preliminary #battery testing results.
#Post_CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) and High-performance treatment of water & waste resources are two of the five areas priorities of the South Korea Nano-Convergence 2020 Program.
Decreasing the production cost of #graphene_oxide up to 22 € per kg will make it applicable for areas such as #concrete and #asphalt bitumen.
Asia Pacific is considered a key region for the development of the #borophene #market till 2025, due to the demand from the #semiconductor and #chemical industries.
#Silver, #titanium_dioxide, #silicon_dioxide, #tungsten_disulfide and #clay are commonly employed to commercial nanotechnology products available on global markets.
In Canada, the new substances that fall within the #nano_scale range must be identified under the New Substances Notification #Regulations (Chemicals and Polymers).
Currently, USA is considered as the largest #market for #carbon_nanotubes followed by East Asian countries. These two regions hold around 75% of the global market.
The Norway #NANO2021_Programme will largely fund doctoral and post-doctoral fellowships through the projects in its portfolio to provide an important source of recruitment for trade and industry.
Among different nanomaterials, #diamond_nanoparticles have been widely used as #nanofluids for the enhancement of #heat_transfer.
Automotive #exhaust_treatment and #biomaterials are the most widely used downstream fields of #Nano_Zirconia #market.
#Restorative_dentistry_materials containing #ytterbium_trifluoride #nano_particles exhibit higher #radiopacity as compared to other cements and composites.
#Meta_lens fabricated using high aspect ratio #titanium_dioxide #nanostructures was recognized as a runner-up for Science magazine’s breakthrough of the Year 2018.
Using #nanomaterials such as #silicon_dioxide and #nanoporous_hydrocarbon_nitrogen coating can improve the #dyeability of #textile products.
Do you know other #nanomaterials with the structure and #morphology similar to #graphene? #Borophene, #Graphyne, #Molybdenum_disulfide, …
#Local_share (the ratio of #nano_articles to total articles) can be considered as a criterion for the #national_priority of countries in #nanoscience publications.
