Layer-by-layer surface manipulation and biointegration of quantum dots : assembly of nanostructured DNA delivery vehicles

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Chemical Engineering, 2005. / Includes bibliographical references. / Objectives: The aims of this investigation are to (i) prepare hybrid quantum dot (QD)-polymer compleses, (ii) maniplulate structural and chemical properties of the hybrids and characterize their effects on biocompatibility, and (iii) assemble diverse, heterostructured complexes for enhancing and fluorescently tracking gene therapy. / by Saeeda Mahdi Jaffar. / Ph.D.
