Nanotechnology - Nanofibers
Findings from Bulgarian Academy of Science provide new insights into nanotechnology - nanofibers
Published in Drug Week, December 17th, 2010
2010 DEC 17 -- Scientists discuss in 'Electrospun nanofibrous mats containing quaternized chitosan and polylactide with in vitro antitumor activity against HeLa cells' new findings in nanotechnology - nanofibers. According to a study from Sofia, Bulgaria, "Nanofibrous materials containing the antitumor drug doxorubicin hydrochloride (DOX) were easily prepared using a one-step method by electrospinning of DOX/poly(L-lactide-co-D,L-lactide) (coPLA) and DOX/quaternized chitosan (QCh)/coPLA solutions. The pristine and DOX-containing mats were characterized by ATR-FTIR and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS)."
"The release rate of DOX from the prepared fibers...
