Research on nanomedicines has rapidly progressed in the past few years. However, due to limited size of nuclear pores (9–12 nm), membrane remains a difficult barrier many nucleus-targeting agents. Here, we report development general platform effectively deliver chemical compounds such as drug molecules or nanomaterials into cell nuclei. This consists polyamine-containing polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) unit, hydrophilic polyethylene glycol (PEG) chain, and photosensitizer rose...

Adhesion is important in many industrial applications including those the microelectronics industry. Flip-chip assemblies commonly utilize epoxy underfills to promote reliability and buried interfacial structure of crucial device lifetime. Poor adhesion at this interface can cause premature failure. One method increase strength plasma treat substrate attached underfills, however, mechanism has not been thoroughly investigated molecular level situ, because it difficult probe a where occurs....

Novel photocurable ternary polymer networks were prepared by incorporating N-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzyl)-acrylamide (HMBA) into a cross-linked thiol-ene network based on poly(ethylene glycol)diacrylate (PEGDA) and (mercaptopropyl)methylsiloxane homopolymers (MSHP). The materials displayed bactericidal activity against Escherichia coli Staphylococcus aureus reduced the attachment of marine organism Phaeodactylum tricornutum. Extensive soaking in aqueous solution indicated that no active...

Flux materials are ubiquitously utilized in the microelectronics industry during back-end processing. The Cu oxides or organic solderability preservatives present on posts used flip-chip packages must be removed by flux before solder reflow and die attachment to ensure a quality connection between substrate die. However, residues can cause bridging, which renders device useless. These studied situ at buried interface determine fundamental interactions how eliminated. In this paper, model...
