Global Graphene Challenge Competition
Bachelor student Nadia Ayad is winner of the Graphene Challenge. Her idea: using graphene for a filtration device and system for desalinization.
Nanogels for photothermal and photodynamic therapy
Marcelo Calderón and co-workers report on the design of a responsive nanogel system for a combined photothermal and photodynamic therapy of cancer. Based on a radical precipitation method, the near infrared absorbing cyanine green dye IR806 was conjugated to the macro crosslinker polyglycerol and polymerized into a thermoresponsive polyether based nanogel network.
