Magnetic Micromachines
Chinese researchers have used lasers to made tiny springs and turbines out of a polymerized ferrofluid, which could be used in micro- or nanomachines.
A Metal Nanoparticles Carrier in One Step
Porous polymer materials carrying inorganic nanoparticles on the surface of pores could be easily produced by polymerization-induced phase separation.
Laser Connects Bone and Implant
Biomimetic surface structures improve biocompatibility of artificial implants. Particular laser process parameters can create these multiscale surfaces, without great effort.
A Multilayered Approach to Therapeutic Delivery
Encapsulating or embedding drugs into polymer carriers can provide many advantages over free drug delivery. Alisa Becker from the University of Melbourne tells us about recent developments in which drugs are entrapped using layer-by-layer assembly of polymers that results in a thin multilayered film.
Polymer Analysis: Trends, Techniques and Untapped Potential
This Trend article - written in an easily accessible tutorial style fashion - provides an introduction to the fundamental principles of polymer mass spectrometry from the ionisation process itself to the choice of mass analyser.
