In this paper the results concerning synthesis of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs), their functionalization using silane derivatives, such as (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES) and (3-mercaptopropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPTMS), exhaustive morphological physical characterization by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) with energy dispersion X-ray spectrometer (EDX) analysis, AC magnetic susceptibility, UV-VIS IR spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TGA) analyses are...
This paper shed lights on the interplay among intra- and inter-particle interactions in different hard/soft bi-magnetic core/shell nanoarchitecture.
The enhancement of the photocatalytic activity TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs), synthesized in presence a very small amount magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, is here presented and discussed. From X-ray diffraction (XRD) differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses, crystallinity (NPs) seems to be affected by Fe3O4, acting as nano-seeds improve tetragonal anatase structure with respect amorphous one. Photocatalytic data, i.e., degradation methylene blue Ofloxacin fluoroquinolone emerging...
In this work, the influence of shell thickness on magnetic behavior hard cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles coated with one or more layers magnetically soft nickel (NiFe2O4) was investigated. The materials were chosen as model and magnetics due to their significant difference in anisotropy constant, which spans 2 orders magnitude. obtained nanoarchitectures are compositionally graded single crystals, i.e., they comprise a crystallographic coherence core no visible core–shell interface at...
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles with a wide size range (2.6–14.1 nm) were synthesized and coated the amphiphilic poly(amidoamine) PAMAM-C<sub>12</sub> dendrimer.
Abstract Pure TiO 2 , N- and Cu-doped double-doped (Cu, N) samples were synthesized via sol–gel route in order to investigate the local average structure of crystalline under different pH conditions. Samples are mainly constituted anatase phase, even though low but significant amounts secondary brookite grew most samples. A detailed structural characterization was performed by means synchrotron X-ray elastic scattering experiments; data obtained Rietveld refinement, whereas insights about...
In the present work, crystallization of anatase TiO₂ nanoparticles (NPs), using different ferrite with chemical composition, dimensions and shape as nucleation seeds, was investigated. particular, CoFe₂O₄, NiFe₂O₄ Fe₃O₄ NPs a volume ratio equal to 1:1000 respect amount, were used in order investigate synthesis nanocrystalline tetragonal by hydrothermal synthesis. addition, Lu₂O₃ also detect effect non-magnetic nanoparticle on nanocrystallization titania. For each sample, deep physical...
The utilization of different types nanomaterials (NMs) in environmental remediation and wastewater treatment requires information on the potential harmful effects human health. In this light, cell models together with cells from lower organisms, representative compartments, could represent a valuable tool for vitro screening toxicity NMs used nanoremediation. Among NMs, n-TiO2, because its peculiar optical chemical properties, is widely applied photosensitized UV oxidation organic...
Bi-magnetic core/shell nanoparticles were synthesized by a two-step high-temperature decomposition method of metal acetylacetonate salts. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the formation an ultrathin shell (~0.6 nm) NiO and NiFe2O4 around magnetically hard 8 nm CoFe2O4 core nanoparticle. Magnetization measurements showed increase in coercivity single-phase seed from ~1.2 T to ~1.5 ~2.0 for CoFe2O4/NiFe2O4 CoFe2O4/NiO, respectively. The also increases magnetic volume particles dipolar...
Magnetite-based magnetic nanoparticles have been successfully coupled to an organic system constituted of a fluorescent molecule, tripeptide specifier and spacer. The is able selectively release the molecule upon targeted enzymatic hydrolysis promoted by lysine/arginine specific protease.
Abstract OBJECTIVE Air pollution has been recently identified as a risk factor for multiple sclerosis. Aim of this study was to investigate the immunological mechanism underlying clinical association between air pollution, namely exposure particulate matter 10 (PM10), and inflammatory activity sclerosis (MS) METHODS Daily recording PM10 obtained by monitors depending on residence subjects. Expression molecules involved in activation, adhesion migration T lymphocytes were tested...
Currently, sorafenib is the only systemic therapy capable to increase overall survival of patient affected by advanced hepatocellular carcinoma. Unfortunately, its side effects limit therapeutic response. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are very attractive for drug delivery as they can be targeted specific sites in body through application a magnetic field, thus improving intracellular accumulation and reducing adverse effects. Here, nanoformulations based on polyethylene...
