CLAY NANOTUBES FOR ENCAPSULATION AND SUSTAINED RELEASE OF DRUGS

Nalinkanth G. Veerabadran, Ronald R. Price, Yuri Lvov · 1 Apr 2007

50-nm diameter halloysite clay nanotubules with 15 nm lumen were used for loading poorly soluble drugs and sustaining their release. Loading was optimized by varying pH and alcohol/water ratio in the solvent with a maximum drug loading of 12 volume%. Near linear release of Dexamethasone, Furosemide, and Nifedipine was demonstrated for 5–10 hours. Its capacity…

SELECTION OF A SUITABLE METHOD FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF COPPER NANOPARTICLES

Asim Umer, Shahid Naveed, Naveed Ramzan et al. · 10 Sep 2012

Various methods for the synthesis of copper nanoparticles employing chemical, physical and biological techniques considering bottom-up and top-down methods synthesis have been studied. The properties of copper nanoparticles depend largely on their synthesis procedures. The results from various investigations performed by different scientists using these methods have been summarized. The applications, characterization techniques, advantages and…

INVESTIGATION OF HOMOLOGOUS SERIES AS PRECURSORY HYDROCARBONS FOR ALIGNED CARBON NANOTUBE FORMATION BY THE SPRAY PYROLYSIS METHOD

Zhi Yang, Huagui Nie, Xuemei Zhou et al. · 18 Feb 2011

The precursory carbon source is one of the key parameters which govern the formation of carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In this work, by selecting four homologous series, namely n-pentane, n-hexane, n-heptane and n-octane, as investigated targets, we comparatively study the relationship between thermodynamic properties of the precursory carbon source and formation of aligned CNTs. We find…

A REVIEW OF METAL OXIDE COMPOSITE ELECTRODE MATERIALS FOR ELECTROCHEMICAL CAPACITORS

Mui Yen Ho, P. S. KHIEW, Dino Isa et al. · 9 Apr 2014

With the emerging technology in the 21st century, which requires higher electrochemical performances, metal oxide composite electrodes in particular offer complementary properties of individual materials via the incorporation of both physical and chemical charge storage mechanism together in a single electrode. Numerous works reviewed herein have identified a wide variety of attractive metal oxide-based composite…

Recent Progresses of High-Temperature Microwave-Absorbing Materials

Zirui Jia, Kejun Lin, Guanglei Wu et al. · 23 May 2018

Generally, certain parts of aircraft and weapons, for example, head cone, engine inlet and nozzle, need to be resistant to high-temperature and high-speed heat flow. In order to meet the requirement of stealth of these special parts, the high-temperature structural absorbing materials, for example, ceramic fibers, ceramic matrix composites and creative commons (C/C) materials are…

NANO template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the NANO format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the NANO template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official World Scientific format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does NANO use?
NANO uses Superscript numbered (World Scientific) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith, A., Jones, B. & Lee, C. A representative article title. NANO 12, 45–58 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to NANO?
No. DocuGuru generates the ws-ijmpa LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a World Scientific-ready NANO document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the NANO template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the NANO format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
Who publishes NANO?
NANO is a physics journal published by World Scientific. DocuGuru's NANO template matches World Scientific's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready NANO PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official NANO template (the ws-ijmpa class) that is ready to submit to World Scientific, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the NANO template cost?
You can start writing in the NANO template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready NANO PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
