The study presents a series of examples magnetic nanoparticle systems designed for the diagnosis viral diseases. In this interdisciplinary work, we describe one most comprehensive synthetic approaches preparation and functionalization smart rapid effective RT-PCR diagnostics isolation RNA. Twelve different organic ligands inorganic porous silica were used surface Fe3O4 core to increase number active centres efficient RNA binding from human swab samples. Different with common beads...
The magnetocaloric properties of a composite material consisting isolated Gd2O3 nanoparticles with diameter 6–8 nm embedded in the pores mesoporous silica matrix have been studied. fascinating nanostructure and composition were properly characterized by small angle X-ray scattering, absorption near edge structure, TEM. Almost ideal paramagnetic behavior was observed temperature range 1.8–300 K. When compared to various nanosystems, presented exhibits an extraordinarily large magnetic entropy...
A stimuli-responsive drug delivery system consisting of mesoporous silica with its surface modified by p-coumaric acid derivatives (CA) as photo-switchable ligands was studied for the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAID) naproxen. For this purpose, MCM-41 material prepared and post-synthetically grafting a triethoxysilyl derivative acid, which undergoes reversible photo-dimerization under UV irradiation creates "valves" on allowing targeted opening/closing pores. Naproxen encapsulated...
Abstract A drug delivery system based on mesoporous particles MCM-41 was post-synthetically modified by photo-sensitive ligand, methyl-(2E)-3-(4-(triethoxysilyl)-propoxyphenyl)-2-propenoate (CA) and the pores of were loaded with Naproxen sodium salt (NAP). The CA used as a photoactive molecule that can undergo reversible photo-dimerization [2π + 2π] cycloaddition when irradiated UV light specific wavelengths. Thus, it has function gate-keeper is responsible for opening/closing minimizing...
We report the synthesis of fine (∼ 5 nm) citric acid capped CoFe2O4 (CA-CoFe2O4) nanoparticles by coprecipitation method at different pH conditions that changes gradually from 6 to 11. Structural and magnetic characterization performed TEM, XRD SQUID confirm under lower (6 9) leads formation shell covering individual nanoparticles. Capping layer increases inter-particle distance what results in decrease interaction strength. On other hand, higher (10 11) apparently hampers proper that,...
One-dimensional (1D) chain-like nanocomposites, created by ensembles of nanoparticles with diameter ∼ 13 nm, which are composed an iron core (∼4 nm) and a silica protective layer, were prepared self-assembly process. Chain-like Fe@SiO2 formed due to strong magnetic dipole–dipole interactions between individual Fe the subsequent fixation particles SiO2 layers. X-ray near edge absorption spectra measurements at K confirm that presence layer prevents oxidation core. Strong cores lead long-range...
Abstract Magnetic properties of three variants MOF-76(Gd), {[Gd(BTC)(H 2 O)]·G} n (BTC = benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate, G guest molecules) were investigated by static susceptibility, isothermal magnetization and specific heat capacity measurements.

Producing defect-free and durable coatings that can withstand elevated annealing temperatures is important when preparing soft magnetic composites. A mechanical surface smoothing method was employed on water atomized Fe powder as an alternative to surfactants, before applying a SiO2 coating via the surfactant-free Stöber method. This study evaluated effect of number layers iron powders different properties compared with non-coated powders. Electrochemical, microscopic, spectroscopic,...
