Fever Responsive Drug Delivery
Chinese scientists developed a temperature-sensitive drug release system based on titanium nanotubes. A smart hydrogel layer acts as controlling barrier and releases drug for local drug therapy.
Alignment of Nanotubes within Nanocomposites Defines Strength
A rigorous study by British and Irish scientists demonstrates a clear relationship between alignment and loading of nanotubes in nanocomposites and the nanocomposite mechanical properties.
