Role of oxygen in the growth of carbon nanotubes on metal alloy fibers by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition
A method allowing for the stable growth of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the surface of a fibrous metal mesh substrate (SUS304) was developed with the assistance of the microwave plasma-enhanced chemical vapor de...

Solid-state phase separation in Zr–Y–Al–Co metallic glass
The present study shows that the as-melt-spun Zr28Y28Al22Co22 amorphous ribbon undergoes solid-state phase separation into Zr- and Y-rich regions when heated below the glass transition temperature (Tg). Dynamic m...

pH-sensitivity control of PEG-poly(β-amino ester) block copolymer micelle
Poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether (PEG)-poly(β-amino ester) (PAE) block copolymers were synthesized using a Michael-type step polymerization, and the construction of pH-sensitive polymeric micelles (PM) inves...

Transferrin-conjugated liposome/IL-12 pDNA complexes for cancer gene therapy in mice
Transferrin (Tf) has been used as a targeting ligand for delivering liposome/interleukin-12 (IL-12) pDNA complexes to cancer cells mostly due to the greater number of transferrin receptors (TfR) found on tumor ce...

Modulation of poly(β-amino ester) pH-sensitive polymers by molecular weight control
The main objective of this study was to modulate pH-sensitive polymers(poly(β-amino esters)) by controlling their molecular weight during their synthesis. These pH-sensitive and biodegradable polymers were syn...
