Reverse micelles as nanosized aqueous droplets existing at certain compositions of water-in-oil microemulsions are widely used today in the synthesis many types nanoparticles. However, without a rich conceptual network that would correlate properties and reverse micellar to to-be-obtained particles, design procedures these cases usually rely on trial-and-error approach. As like every other science, what is presently known merely tip iceberg compared uninvestigated vastness still lying below....
Abstract Microelectrophoresis based on the dynamic light scattering (DLS) effect has been a major tool for assessing and controlling conditions stability of colloidal systems. However, both DLS methods characterization hydrodynamic size dispersed submicron particles theory behind electrokinetic phenomena are associated with fundamental practical approximations that limit their sensitivity information output. Some these limitations, including spherical approximation measurements an inability...

Abstract Taking advantage of the flexibility apatite structure, nano- and micro-particles hydroxyapatite (HAp) were doped with different combinations rare earth ions (RE 3+ = Gd, Eu, Yb, Tm) to achieve a synergy among their magnetic optical properties enable application in preventive medicine, particularly diagnostics based on multimodal imaging. All powders synthesized through hydrothermal processing at T ≤ 200 °C. An X-ray powder diffraction analysis showed that all crystallized P 6 3 / m...
Cheap and simple to make, calcium phosphate (CP), thanks its unusual functional pleiotropy, belongs the new wave of abundant naturally accessible nanomaterials applicable as a means various technological ends. It is used in number industries, including biomedical, but intrinsic antibacterial activity nanoparticle form has not been sufficiently explored date. In this study, we report on effect exhibited by two distinct CP phases: an amorphous (ACP) hydroxyapatite (HAp). The prominent against...
Abundant hydration, diffusivity, and volatile phase composition render the surface of calcium phosphates (CPs) a complex dynamic region. Three CP powders were analyzed using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) ion scattering (ISS) with regard to their compositions fine structures: hydroxyapatite (HAp), amorphous (ACP), formed under same conditions as ACP but allowed ripen into HAp (ACP → HAp). XPS analyses revealed that Ca/P atomic ratio in 2-10 nm-thick layers nanoparticle was somewhat...
Abstract Developed in this study is a multifunctional material for simultaneous osseoinduction and drug delivery, potentially applicable the treatment of osteomyelitis. It composed agglomerates nanoparticles calcium phosphate (CAP) with different monophasic contents. The drug‐loading capacity release kinetics were investigated on two model compounds chemical structures, sizes, adsorption propensities: bovine serum albumin fluorescein. Loading CAP powders small molecule drugs was achieved by...
Powders composed of four morphologically different calcium phosphate particles were prepared by precipitation from aqueous solutions: flaky, brick-like, elongated orthogonal, and spherical. The then loaded with either clindamycin as the antibiotic choice or fluorescein, a model molecule used to assess drug release properties. A comparison was carried out effect such antibiotic-releasing materials on: sustained profiles; Staphylococcus aureus growth inhibition; osteogenic propensities in...
