One of the major challenges drug delivery is development suitable carriers for therapeutic molecules. In this work, a novel nanoformulation based on superparamagnetic nanoclusters [magnetic nanocrystal clusters (MNCs)] presented. order to control size and density magnetic cores, several parameters were evaluated tuned. Then, MNCs functionalized with polydopamine layer (MNC@PDO) improve their stability in aqueous solution, increase functional groups obtain nanosystem drug-controlled release....
We here develop stable bidimensional magnetic nanoclusters (2D-MNCs) of iron oxide nanocubes (IONCs) arranged in thin nanosheets closed-packed nanocubes. The assembly occurs by means a two-step approach: in...
Plasmonic nanostructures, featuring near infrared (NIR)-absorption, are rising as efficient nanosystems for in vitro photothermal (PT) studies and vivo PT treatment of cancer diseases. Among the different materials, new plasmonic nanostructures based on Cu2−xS nanocrystals (NCs) emerging valuable alternatives to Au nanorods, nanostars nanoshells, largely exploited NIR absorbing nanoheaters. Even though properties not linked geometry, role played by their size, shape surface chemistry is...
The side effects induced by nanoparticle exposure at a cellular level are one of the priority research topics due to steady increase in use nanoparticles (NPs). Recently, focus on morphology and mechanical behavior is gaining relevance order fully understand cytotoxic mechanisms. In this regard, we have evaluated morphomechanical alteration human breast adenocarcinoma cell line (MCF-7) exposed TiO2NPs two different concentrations (25 50 µg/mL) time points (24 48 h). By using confocal atomic...
Monitoring hazardous chemical compounds such as hydrazine (N2H4), 4-nitrophenol (4-NP) and Hg2+ in natural water resources is a crucial issue due to their toxic effects on human health catastrophic impact the environment. Electrochemical nanostructured platforms integrating hybrid nanocomposites based graphene derivatives inorganic nanoparticles (NPs) are of great interest for purpose. In this work, disposable screen-printed carbon electrodes (SPCEs) have been modified with nanocomposite...
Novel nanostructured platforms based on Pencil Graphite Electrodes (PGEs), modified with pyrene carboxylic acid (PCA) functionalized Reduced Graphene Oxide (rGO), and then decorated by chronoamperometry electrodeposition of MoS2 nanoroses (NRs) (MoS2NRs/PCA-rGO/PGEs) were manufactured for the electrocatalytic detection hydrazine (N2H4) 4-nitrophenol, pollutants highly hazardous environment human health. The surface morphology chemistry MoS2NRs/PCA-rGO/PGEs characterized scanning electron...
Versatile methods are here presented for the assembling of magnetic nanoparticles in controlled super-structures with different final aspect ratios. The first step procedure is based on destabilization, and consequently clustering, a dextran-coated suspension, altering colloidal stability initial building blocks. Subsequently, second polysaccharide shell, chitosan, grafted to super-structure surface, stopping aggregation enhancing resulting assembly. For achieving finer control process,...
