Folic Acid-Grafted Chitosan-Alginate Nanocapsules as Effective Targeted Nanocarriers for Delivery of Turmeric Oil for Breast Cancer Therapy

“…Song et al [ 48 ] justified the reduced surface charge was because of the reduction of the amount of protonated amino group of CS NPs, leading to a drop in its surface charge. The ligand molecules bound to the surface of NPs provide steric stabilization as an effect of repulsive forces (electrostatic interactions, steric exclusion, or hydration layer [ 49 ] and low PDI suggests an improvement in the steric hindrance of NPs, leads to steric stabilization consequently preventing the aggregation of NPs [ 50 ].…”

Constitutional Isomer-Driven Free Volume Optimization in Polyimide-Based Anodes for Enhanced Capacity and Durability of Li-Ion Batteries

“…48−50 In this case of electrochemistry, particularly linear and branched polymers show the different packing densities. 51 Therefore, they can provide empty spaces to facilitate the permeation of Li + ions. This behavior suggests that the electrochemical performance of PIs demonstrating Li + storage capacities can be influenced solely by their structural properties, despite all chemical compositions and properties being identical.…”

“…While their chemical properties, such as molar weight and chemical composition, remain largely identical, their physical properties of solubility, wettability, and crystalline structure differ significantly. Recently, the importance of sensing these characteristics has been further emphasized due to the crucial role that isomeric properties play in biological fields. − In this case of electrochemistry, particularly linear and branched polymers show the different packing densities . Therefore, they can provide empty spaces to facilitate the permeation of Li + ions.…”
