We have successfully introduced a proton-induced controlled reaction of HAuCl4 and poly(styrene-alt-maleic acid) (PSMA) sodium salt to prepare triangular and multicore Au@polymer nanoparticles (NPs). The interparticle interactions in the core gave rise to an absorption band at the near-infrared wavelength.
To investigate whether a nitric oxide donor given as a single oral dose is able to modify aqueous humour flow in healthy volunteers. Ten healthy volunteers participated in a randomized, double-masked and placebo-controlled cross-over study. Aqueous humour flow was assessed
This study was undertaken to see whether long-term locally applied ocular medications produced any alterations in the ocular surface, and, in particular, whether it caused damage to the mucus layer of the tear film. The authors studied the ocular surface

Contact angle hysteresis phenomena on polymer surfaces have been studied by contact angle measurements using sessile liquid droplets and captive air bubbles in conjunction with a drop shape method known as Axisymmetric Drop Shape Analysis - Profile (ADSA-P). In addition

Improved methodology to prepare maleimide-functionalized, water-soluble, small (<3 nm) gold nanoparticles using a retro-Diels-Alder strategy that we developed for similar organic-soluble AuNP's is described. Importantly, our results suggest that a recent paper by Zhu, Waengler, Lennox, and Schirrmacher describing a
