Radiation-Engineered Functional Nanoparticles in Aqueous Systems.

2015

Controlled synthesis of nanoscalar and nanostructured materials enables the development of novel functional materials with fine-tuned optical, mechanical, electronic, magnetic, conductive and catalytic properties that are of use in numerous applications. These materials have also found their potential use in medicine as vehicles for drug delivery, in diagnostics or in combinations thereof. In principle, nanoparticles can be divided into two broad categories, organic and inorganic nanoparticles. For both types of nanoparticles there are numerous possible synthetic routes. Considering the large difference in nature of these materials and the elementary reactions involved in the synthetic rout…

Bio-nano: Theranostic at Cellular Level

2018

Functionalized nanoparticles are important platforms for targeted drug delivery and multimodal imaging. Materials scientists provide tailor-made tools for medical research, diagnosis and treatment. These tools are rationally designed to have defined functions. Still, the value of these tools can only be determined by the users in medical sciences that develop assays for applying these tools. Until now, little is known about the impact of multifunctional particles that display intrinsic chemical and physical asymmetry which poses new challenges for cells associated with the amphiphilicity, dipole moments and chemical diversity/patchiness of the functionalized nanoparticles. Why is it importa…

Engineered Multifunctional Nanotools for Biological Applications

2011

Smart multifunctional magnetic nanoparticles are popular candidates for several biological applications owing to their intrinsic magnetic property and diverse applications that range from rare protein separation and biomedical utilization to cancer therapy and diagnostics. A universal protocol, for the development of such nanocarriers, is highly desirable for scientists with different backgrounds so that custom-made multifunctional nanoparticles can be developed to address their needs, among which are the superparamagnetic iron oxide and manganese oxide nanoparticles that are synthesized through high temperature decomposition reactions. However, an interface is needed to present these inorg…
