Abstract: Disclosed herein is a massively parallel patterning tool for the deposition of single metals or metal alloys with size and composition control. Methods of the disclosure use a hydrogel array of pyramidal pen tips as a medium for localized electrodeposition, in conjunction with a scanning probe lithography platform and a three-electrode cell. This versatile technique can be used for high-throughput 3D printing, biomolecule patterning, or screening of catalyst nanoparticles or thin films.

Abstract: Spherical nucleic acids (SNAs), consisting of densely packed, highly oriented polynucleotide strands attached to the surface of nanoparticles, are able to overcome the typical challenges of nucleic acid delivery. The present disclosure demonstrates that G-rich SNAs exhibit several-fold higher uptake into cells relative to SNAs rich in other nucleotides. This disclosure provides an effective strategy to maximize the intracellular delivery of SNAs, which is applicable to other nanoparticle systems, thus establishing an important design consideration for nanoparticle-based intracellular delivery of therapeutics.

Abstract: A method of preparing a metal nanoparticle can include depositing an ink on a substrate using nanolithography to form a polymer reactor, wherein the ink comprises at least one metalloporphyrin functionalized polymer comprising a metal ion, porphyrin, and a polyethylene oxide polymer; and thermally annealing the polymer nanoreactor under conditions sufficient to form the nanoparticle. The thermal annealing can include a first stage that includes annealing the polymer nanoreactor at a temperature of about 100° C. to about 350° C. for a time sufficient to aggregate the metal ions in the polymer reactor, and a second stage that includes annealing the aggregated polymer nanoreactor at a temperature of about 500° C. to about 600° C. for a time sufficient to reduce the metal ion and decompose a polymer component of the polymer nanoreactor to thereby form the metal nanoparticle.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to methods of printing indicia on a substrate using a tip array comprised of elastomeric, compressible polymers. The tip array can be prepared using conventional photolithographic methods and can be tailored to have any desired number and/or arrangement of tips. Numerous copies (e.g., greater than 15,000, or greater than 11 million) of a pattern can be made in a parallel fashion in as little as 40 minutes.

Abstract: Polyvalent nanoconjugates address the critical challenges in therapeutic use. The single-entity, targeted therapeutic is able to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and is thus effective in the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders. Further, despite the tremendously high cellular uptake of nanoconjugates, they exhibit no toxicity in the cell types tested thus far. This property is critical for therapeutic agent delivery applications for reducing off-target effects.
