This suggests that vault particles can be designed as multifunctional vehicles that can be further engineered for target specific delivery as well as carriers of specific payloads that can act as tumor antigens to prime the immune system to potentially act as vaccines to prevent tumor recurrence and metastasis.
With sophisticated surface engineering, graphene-based nanomaterials could be designed as multifunctional probes for multimodality image-guided therapy, which would be one of the most promising research directions in the next 5 years.
Two novel highly photostable blue-emitting 1,8-naphthalimides, containing active fragments of a hindered amine radical scavenger and an s-triazine UV absorber were designed as multifunctional additives capable of simultaneous fluorescent brightening and photostabilization of polymers.
Series of novel dual-sensitive poly 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate/itaconic acid) hydrogels were designed as multifunctional drug delivery system which can poly 2-hydroxypropylntacrylate/itaconicug protection, self-regulacid oscillatory release and targeted delivery to a single entity.
Two novel fluorescein-based dyes, containing both a hindered amine radical scavenger and an s-triazine UV absorber as well as a polymerizable allyl function, were designed as multifunctional photostable fluorophores capable of simultaneously fluorescently colouring and photostabilising polymers; their absorbance and fluorescence properties in solution were determined.
Two novel 1,8-naphthalimide dyes, containing active fragments of both 2- 2-hydroxyphenyl -1,3,5-triazine UV absorber and 2- 2-hydroxyphenyl -1,3,5-triazinecal scavenger as well as a polymerisable allyl group, were designed as multifunctional yellow-green emitting fluorophores capable simultaneously of chemically fluorescent dyeing and photo-stabilisation of polymers.
Two novel highly photostable yellow-green emitting 1,8-naphthalimide-based dyes, containing active fragments of both a hindered amine radical scavenger (HALS) and an s-triazine UV absorber were designed as multifunctional additives capable of simultaneously chemically fluorescent dyeing and photostabilization of polymers.
This optical bench is designed as multifunctional, so both mounting modules allow to set an arbitrary position (in the corresponding axis) and also to mount different sensors/fingerprint modules, so the whole unit can be used for testing of different configurations and even different ideas (not even for the liveness detection purposes).
Graphene and its multifunctional derivatives may offer passive targeting toward tumor sites and could be designed as drug delivery systems.
NMCP was designed as a multifunctional nanocomposite, i.e., solid phase adsorbent for Fe(III) preconcentration, photocatalyst for iron species transformation and color interference removal, and colorimetric sensor for Fe(III) determination.
Polymer-shelled and perfluoropentane-cored nanobubbles have also been designed, as versatile multifunctional carriers for the delivery of gases, drugs, and genes; the size range is below 500 nm, with shell thickness in the 30 50 nm range.
