2. Liquid-Metal-Jet X-ray Source for In-situ SAXS studies in the Home Laboratory

Shichao Hu (Excillum)

High-end x-ray scattering techniques such as SAXS, BIO-SAXS, non-ambient SAXS and GISAXS rely heavily on the x-ray source brightness for resolution and exposure time. Traditional solid or rotating anode x-ray tubes are typically limited in brightness by when the e-beam power density melts the anode. The liquid-metal-jet technology has overcome this limitation by using an anode that is already...

23. Time-resolved SAXS reveals ionic liquid interaction with model membranes

Dr Inkeri Kontro (University of Helsinki)

Ionic liquids (ILs) are solvents that have many desirable properties. For example, they are easier to handle than volatile organic solvents and they dissolve cellulose. However, many are harmful. The toxicity of ILs is in part due to their effects on cell membranes. In this study, we have observed effects of (tetradecyl)tributylphosphonium acetate ([P${}_{14444}$][OAc]),...

18. Characterization of liposomal formulations to treat Fabry Disease

Mr Jannik Pedersen (Department of Chemistry and Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Center (iNANO), Aarhus University, Gustav Wieds Vej 14, 8000 Aarhus C, Denmark)

18/01/2018, 11:35

Fabry disease is a lysosomal storage disorder, where the lack of α-Galactosidase A (GLA) causes accumulation of glycosphingolipids leading to damage of the kidneys, heart and nervous system. With current treatments, free GLA is injected intravenously in patients causing instability of GLA, high immunogenicity, and low bioavailability. To overcome this, liposomes has been developed that can...

0. Inverse- and real-space scattering of aqueous diblock copolymer micelles

Dr Smith Gregory (Københavns Universitet)

18/01/2018, 11:55

Poly(glycerol monomethacrylate)–poly(benzyl methacrylate) (PGMA–PBzMA) diblock copolymer micelles were synthesized via polymerization-induced self-assembly (PISA) using reversible additional–fragmentation chain-transfer (RAFT) aqueous emulsion polymerization in D${}_2$O. PISA reactions produce polymer nanoparticles in situ during the reaction and can be performed at high particle concentrations....
