Interaction of nanoparticles (NPs) with cell membrane is a crucial issue in studying drug delivery, photodynamic therapy system and cytotoxicity. Single NP with relatively small size cannot be fully wrapped by the cell membrane, which prohibits its uptake. One feasible way is cooperative entry, i.e., recruiting and assembling multiple small NPs to form a larger NP cluster to enter into a cell. In this work, we present theoretical analysis about the cooperative entry of multiple NPs. Through…

The high strength at small size suggests a search for design strategies that yield high-strength materials exploiting the mechanical properties of metal nanostructures, and nanoporous gold has thus been studied as a model system for size-effects on the plasticity of nanostructure.

Constrained Hydrogel swelling in Biological Sensors : A Finite Element Method Approach
- Materials Science, Biology
- 2012
The anionic material model was shown to reproduce experimental swelling data, while the cationic material model only reproduced the data for ionic strength greater than 100 mM, and a new method for estimating thin-layer properties has been developed.
Geometry-controlled Failure Mechanisms of Amorphous Solids on the Nanoscale
