Synthesis and characterization of Calcium Alginate Nanoparticle for Drug Delivery Application
Abstract: The polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) are prepared from biocompatible and biodegradable polymers such as chitosan, gelatin, sodium alginate and albumin in size between 10-1000 nm where the drug is dissolved, entrapped, encapsulated or attached to a nanoparticle matrix. Their nanometer-size promotes effective permeation through cell membranes and stability in the blood stream. These smart PNPs are widely used as carriers in the pharmaceutical sector for controlled release in drug delivery. In …

Facile Fabrication of Durable Superhydrophobic Coatings on SS 304 for biomedical applications
Abstract: A simple and effective method to fabricate durable superhydrophobic coatings by combining shot-blasting and depositing sol-gel nanocomposite coatings on stainless steel SS 304 substrates has been investigated. Shot-blasting was used for two purposes; 1) as a method of physical modification for creating microscale roughness on the substrate and 2) for improving the adhesion of the nanocomposite coatings deposited thereafter. Organic-inorganic hybrid hydrophobic silica sol was synthesized where silica nanoparticles were …
