We are pleased to announce that the paper co-authored by IOTA NanoSolutions and entitled “Formation and enhanced biocidal activity of water-dispersable organic nanoparticles” has been accepted for publication in the journal Nature Nanotechnology, a publication from the Nature Publishing Group (NPG).
IOTA NanoSolutions specialises in the formation of nanoparticles of poorly soluble / insoluble organic compounds. We have completed our base research and have an active pipeline of development partners and an IP portfolio of more than 15 published patents. The paper accepted by Nature Nanotechnology is our first peer reviewed journal submission to discuss the technology. Further publications are planned for the future.
The Advance Online Publication (AOP) has been highlighted and is now available on the Nature Nanotechnology website. The abstract of the paper can be viewed at http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/vaop/ncurrent/abs/nnano.2008.188.html
Co-author and CSO of IOTA NanoSolutions, Professor Steve Rannard commented “We are extremely pleased that one of the novel approaches developed by IOTA has been recognized through inclusion within Nature Nanotechnology, a leading journal in the area of nanoscience and nanotechnology. Organic nanoparticles have many potential benefits and cost-effective, scalable technologies are required to ensure these are fully realised”.
Andrew Elphick, CEO, IOTA NanoSolutions added: “IOTA NanoSolutions has built a strong reputation for delivery with our partners. This publication underlines the novelty of our approach and highlights one specific technology in detail. Scientific peer review at this high level is essential for our technology credentials”
Selected areas of the subject matter covered in the paper will be highlighted during a talk by Professor Rannard at The BA (British Association for the Advancement of Science) Festival of Science, Liverpool, 6-11 September 08.
The talk, entitled “Organic Nanoparticles: Small Materials having a Large Impact” is due to take place on Wednesday 10th September (15:10pm - 15:45pm) and will form part of the session “New Materials for the 21st Century event” (venue: Gossage LT, University of Liverpool, Department of Chemistry).
