SUMMARY:Chemistry &amp; Biochemistry Seminar: "The biological interactions of 
 nanomaterials: Perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions and microplastics"
DESCRIPTION:Presenter\n\n\nProf. Rachael Day  (Drury University)\n\n\nAbst
 ract\n\n\nThe Day research group focuses on studying the biological impli
 cations of materials less than 5 mm in size. Two of these materials are n
 anoemulsions and microplastics. Perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions\, droplets 
 of fluorous solvent stabilized by a polymeric amphiphile dispersed in wat
 er\, are an intriguing platform for drug delivery. The fluorous phase is 
 biocompatible\, has a high dissolved oxygen content\, and is both lipopho
 bic and hydrophobic\, preventing the leaching of payloads. Microplastics 
 are formed by the breakdown of larger plastic waste products. We are expo
 sed to microplastics in most facets of our lives\, including stormwater r
 un-off and water processing. Here\, we studied the effect of environmenta
 l microplastics on inflammation and endocytosis.
