Tokyo, Japan, July 25, 2006 - (JCN) - A research team at the
National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST)
has developed a technology to synthesize amphiphilic molecules into
various types of white organic nano tubes with inner diameters of
40-200nm, outer diameters of 70-500nm, and lengths of several
micrometers. (2004)
injected (iv) amphiphilic polyacrylic acid polymer-coated QDs (amp-QDs),
and amp-QDs conjugated to PEG-amine groups (mPEG-QDs), at QD
concentrations of 20 pmol QD/g animal weight. * Tegomer P121 and P131 dispersing additives for organic and
inorganic pigments are amphiphilic block copolymers that reportedly
reduce the amount of pigment required to achieve a certain color
strength. |
