Superparamagnetic nanoparticles are of high interest for therapeutic applications. In this work, calcium-doped manganese ferrites (CaxMn1-xFe2O4) functionalized with citrate were synthesized through thermally assisted oxidative precipitation in aqueous media. The method provided well dispersed suspensions a one-pot synthesis, which the temperature and Ca/Mn ratio found to influence particles microstructure morphology. Consequently, changes obtained optical magnetic properties that studied...
Supramolecular hydrogels, particularly low‐molecular‐weight peptide are promising drug delivery systems due to their ability change the solubility, targeting, metabolism and toxicity of drugs. Magneto‐plasmonic liposomes, in addition being remotely controllable with application an external magnetic field, also increase efficiency encapsulated release through thermal stimulation, for example, optical hyperthermia. Thus, combination those two materials—giving magneto‐plasmonic lipogels—brings...
The incorporation of silica-coated gold nanorods and liposomes (storage units) into dehydropeptide-based hydrogels afforded peptide-based NIR light-responsive lipogels with tuneable controlled release hydrophilic drug model.
