Advances in Nanotechnology. Volume 24 introduces the basic principle of resonance energy transfer, discussing the resonance energy transfer process involved in plasma noble metallic nanoparticles on the basis of new research. The authors discuss the principles and the mechanisms of Magnetofection(TM) and illustrate it by using multiple examples of its applications in viral and non-viral nucleic acid delivery, both in vitro and in vivo. In one study, polyvinyl chloride is prepared with the percentages 30 wt.% PVC (30 wt%) loaded with 3-8 wt.% of titanium oxide nanoparticles, and the performance of prepared membranes is calculated. Recent progress on the synthesis of amphiphilic and stimuli responsive block copolymers by Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain Transfer polymerization polymerization is assessed, with special focus on triblock terpolymers. The applications of Pluronic micelles in drug solubilization and delivery are explored for a better understanding of the importance of these materials in pharmaceutical applications. Later, the characteristics and transfer functions of the electroelastic digital-to-analog converter actuator for nanotechnology are examined. In closing, the authors review the magnetic and electric properties of different systems made up of the so-obtained Ni nanowires.
