The results of IR and XRD analysis demonstrated that the desired polymer chains have been covalently bonded to the surface of Fe3O4 nano particles. The morphology analysis by TEM confirmed that the composite particles have the core-shell structure and a relatively uniform diameter of about 100nm. The magnetic properties of the obtained composite latex particles were measured by VSM and found that they exhibited super paramagnetic properties. Finally, the prepared magnetic composite particles latex is stable for several months.展开更多

The effectiveness of hyaluronic acid-based compounds in accelerated healing and helping manage pain in patients with oral mucositis was demonstrated. It was investigated a protective and regenerative effect of hyaluronic acid based gel formulation enriched with NAG (N-acetyl glucosamine) loaded solid lipid nanoparticles against degenerative process of the oral mucosa. Gel formulations were obtained by adding sHA (sodium hyaluronate) into SLN aqueous suspension. Gel performances were evaluated by multi-methodological approach: mucoadhesive and barrier properties evaluation, cell viability. It was shown that gel formulation based sHA, enriched with NAG loaded SLNs, when added as suspension, demonstrated to have a good mucoadhesion profile comparable in terms of tensile work and fracture strength to Carbomer 934 2%. The presence of NAG encapsulated and not in gel formulation enhances also the biocompatibility of the system, demonstrating also to have a proliferative effect. Finally, any barrier property was altered. Finally, results demonstrated that sHA based gel formulation enriched SLNs, demonstrated good mucoadeshion property, comparable to carbopol gel, positive control. The proposed gel formulation enriched with SLNs setting up in this work could be used as innovation strategy to treat oral mucositis.展开更多

The temperature of the nanoparticles and the SDS solution was evaluated by a novel method based on measuring the Q-factor (quality-factor) of a resonant circuit. The Q-factor of the investigated system as a function of the frequency of the EM field was obtained. The nanoparticles-SDS liquid system exhibited a resonance-like behavior of the absorption, where the resonance frequency was about 170 MHz, and the absorption rise up to the resonance frequency was rather slow. The observed absorption of EM energy was accompanied by a small temperature increasing of the system. Measurements of the ESR (electron spin resonance) spectrum of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles have presented a slightly asymmetric singlet with the proportionality factor g = 2 and a line-width of the magnetic field strength △H = 0.1 mT. It was shown that the observed absorption spectrum corresponds to paramagnetic behavior of the investigated nanoparticles.展开更多

Here we show a general and scalable colloid post-processing technique based on density gradient centrifugation through water/oil interfaces. Such a one-step technique can switch the solvent in a colloid at almost any concentration without aggregation, and meanwhile purify colloidal nanoparticles by separating them from by-products and environmental impurities. Droplet sedimentation was shown to be the mechanism of this one-step concentration/purification process, and mathematical modeling was established to quantify the accumulation and sedimentation velocities of different NPs.展开更多

The acidity and alkalinity of the reaction solution are tuned to adjust the oxidizing ability of H2O2, and thus control the final morphology. Ag nanocrystals function as a sacrificial precursor, leading to the generation of clusterqike nanostructures. Through a kinetic study, the formation of Ag3PO4 nanocrystal clusters can be understood as the conversion from Ag to AgBPO4 nanocrystals assisted by H2O2, followed by the oriented attachment of nanocrystals into cluster-like colloids with specific shapes. The as-prepared AgBPO4 nanostructures have higher photocatalytic activity than commercial TiO2 and some reported AgBPO4 microcrystals in the degradation of dyes. The catalytic activity decreases in the order nanoparticles 〉 trisoctahedrons 〉 tetrahedrons 〉 tetrapods, while the stability increases in the order nanoparticles 〈 tetrahedrons 〈 trisoctahedrons 〈 tetrapods, which can be explained by the extent of absorption of visible light and structural factors, including size and exposed crystal facets.展开更多
