Fluorinated Nanoparticles

Nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with antibodies (Abs) on their surface are used in a wide range of bioapplications. Whereas the attachment of antibodies to single NPs to trigger the internalization in cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis has been widely studied, the conjugation of antibodies to larger NP assemblies has been much less explored. Taking into account that NP assemblies may be advantageous for some specific applications, the possibility of incorporating targeting ligands is quite important. Herein, we performed the effective conjugation of antibodies onto a fluorescent NP assembly, which consisted of fluorinated Quantum Dots (QD) self-assembled through fluorine–fluorine hydrophobic interactions. Cellular uptake studies by confocal microscopy and flow cytometry revealed that the NP assembly underwent the same uptake procedure as individual NPs; that is, the antibodies retained their targeting ability once attached to the nanoassembly, and the NP assembly preserved its intrinsic properties (i.e., fluorescence in the case of QD nanoassembly).

Relative Molecular Weight

initiator is one of the most important conditions of synthesizing efficient strength agent CPAM. To begin with initiating mechanism, three redox systems of acrylamide aqueous polymerization (NH4)2S2O8/ Na2SO3, K2S2O8/NaHSO3and K2S2O8/Na2S2O4have been studied. The effects of different kinds of initiator, initiator concentration, and monomer concentration as well as polymerization temperature on relative molecular weight and strength effects of CPAM have been investigated. K2S2O8/Na2SO3is the most useful system in synthesizing efficient strength agents.
