Abstract In this review, the progress made in last ten years concerning synthesis of porous carbon materials is summarized. Porous with various pore sizes and structures have been synthesized using several different routes. Microporous activated carbons through activation process. Ordered microporous zeolites as templates. Mesoporous a disordered structure methods, including catalytic metal species, carbonization polymer/polymer blends, organic aerogels, template silica nanoparticles....
Magnetic, fluorescent core–shell nanoparticles consist of a single Fe3O4 nanocrystal core and dye-doped mesoporous silica shell with poly(ethylene glycol) coating (see picture TEM images schematic depictions). These can be used as magnetic resonance fluorescence imaging agents, drug delivery vehicles, thus making them novel candidates for simultaneous cancer diagnosis therapy. Detailed facts importance to specialist readers are published "Supporting Information". Such documents...
We synthesized uniform pore-sized mesoporous silica spheres embedded with magnetite nanocrystal and quantum dots. The magnetic separation, luminescent detection, controlled release of drugs were demonstrated using the monodisperse nanocrystals.
Highly versatile nanocomposite nanoparticles were synthesized by decorating the surface of mesoporous dye-doped silica with multiple magnetite nanocrystals. The superparamagnetic property nanocrystals enabled to be used as a contrast agent in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, and dye molecule framework imparted optical imaging modality. Integrating multitude on resulted remarkable enhancement MR signal due synergistic magnetism. An anticancer drug, doxorubicin (DOX), could loaded pores...
Porous biomaterials have been widely used as scaffolds in tissue engineering and cell-based therapies. The release of biological agents from conventional porous is typically governed by molecular diffusion, material degradation, cell migration, which do not allow for dynamic external regulation. We present a new active scaffold that can be remotely controlled magnetic field to deliver various on demand. scaffold, the form macroporous ferrogel, gives large deformation volume change over 70%...
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) determines a lower rank approximation of $A \in \mathbb{R}^{m \times n} \approx WH$ where an integer $k \ll \min(m,n)$ is given and nonnegativity imposed on all components the factors $W k}$ $H \mathbb{R}^{k n}$. NMF has attracted much attention for over decade been successfully applied to numerous data analysis problems. In applications are necessarily nonnegative, such as chemical concentrations in experimental results or pixels digital images,...
