HOMEWORK PROBLEMS
1. Draw diagrams of the emulsification processes used
to create polymer microparticles (e.g., O/W, W/O,
2. Quantum dots have been widely used for imaging,
particularly of cells and biomolecules. Describe some
3. Compare and contrast quantum dots and gold
nanoparticles for multiplexed imaging applications.
From what properties does detection arise? What are
4. Compare and contrast gold nanoshells versus mag-
netic nanoparticles for hyperthermia. What is the
mechanism of heat production in each case? What are
5. Discuss the main challenges facing nanoparticle
application in the clinic. What are some of the ways
Insulin is formulated in a dry powder aerosol that
gets suspended in a “standing cloud” device for slow,
5 μm. Particles larger than 5 μm are typically unable
to clear the trachea and enter the lungs. Why would
any drug destined for the bloodstream need to get
