Radiation synthesis of nanogels as therapeutic agent vectors
2015
Nanogels (NGs) are physically or chemically crosslinked polymer networks and are promising candidates in the development of therapeutic agent vectors. In fact, thanks to their tunable size and properties, they offer unique advantages, including a large and flexible surface for multivalent bio-conjugation, an internal 3D aqueous environment for incorporation and protection of (bio)molecular drugs, stimuliresponsiveness to achieve temporal and/or site control of the release function and biocompatibility. In order to develop effective NGs-based biomedical devices an inexpensive, robust and versatile synthetic methodology is required. In this perspective, we have produced NGs with high yields a…

Änderungen der Gitterstruktur hochpolymerer Einkristalle durch Bestrahlung im Elektronenmikroskop
1965
Die durch Bestrahlung mit Elektronen von 40 bis 80 kV hervorgerufenen Anderungen der Gitterstruktur von Polyathylen(PA)- und Polyoxymethylen(POM)-Einkristallen wurden unterrsucht. Dazu wurden Lage, Intensitat und Linienbreite der Reflexe im Elektronenbeugungsdiagramm in Abhangigkeit von der Bestrahlungsdosis gemessen. Vergleichende Untersuchungen wurden an einem Paraffin (C28H58) durchgefuhrt. Aus den Anderungen der Linienbreite konnte geschlossen werden, das im Falle des PA durch die Vernetzung zwischen benachbarten Ketten Gitterstorungen II. Art (parakristalline Storungen) hervorgerufen werden. Sie fuhren auch zu einer betrachtlichen Aufewitung des Gitters. Im Falle des Paraffins dagegen …

Ionizing radiation-engineered nanogels as insulin nanocarriers for the development of a new strategy for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease
2016
A growing body of evidence shows the protective role of insulin in Alzheimer's disease (AD). A nanogel system (NG) to deliver insulin to the brain, as a tool for the development of a new therapy for Alzheimer's Disease (AD), is designed and synthetized. A carboxyl-functionalized poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidone) nanogel system produced by ionizing radiation is chosen as substrate for the covalent attachment of insulin or fluorescent molecules relevant for its characterization. Biocompatibility and hemocompatibility of the naked carrier is demonstrated. The insulin conjugated to the NG (NG-In) is protected by protease degradation and able to bind to insulin receptor (IR), as demonstrated by immunofl…
Radiation engineering of functional biomaterials: from smart hydrogels to theragnostic nanodevices

Radiation Engineering of Multifunctional Nanogels
2016
Nanogels combine the favourable properties of hydrogels with those of colloids. They can be soft and conformable, stimuli-responsive and highly permeable, and can expose a large surface with functional groups for conjugation to small and large molecules, and even macromolecules. They are among the very few systems that can be generated and used as aqueous dispersions. Nanogels are emerging materials for targeted drug delivery and bio-imaging, but they have also shown potential for water purification and in catalysis. The possibility of manufacturing nanogels with a simple process and at relatively low cost is a key criterion for their continued development and successful application. This p…
