  • Superparamagnetic Graphene Oxide–Fe3o4 Nanoparticles Hybrid for Controlled Targeted Drug Carriers
    PAPER www.rsc.org/materials | Journal of Materials Chemistry Superparamagnetic graphene oxide–Fe3O4 nanoparticles hybrid for controlled targeted drug carriers Xiaoying Yang,*a Xiaoyan Zhang,b Yanfeng Ma,b Yi Huang,b Yinsong Wanga and Yongsheng Chen*b Received 1st December 2008, Accepted 3rd February 2009 First published as an Advance Article on the web 5th March 2009 DOI: 10.1039/b821416f A superparamagnetic graphene oxide –Fe3O4 nanoparticles hybrid (GO–Fe3O4) was prepared via a simple and effective chemical precipitation method. The amount of loading of Fe3O4 on GO was estimated as 18.6 wt% by atomic absorption spectrometry. The hybrid was then loaded with doxorubicin hydrochloride (DXR) and the loading capacity was as high as 1.08 mg mgÀ1. Both of the GO–Fe3O4 hybrids before and after loading with DXR can be dispersed well in aqueous solution. They can congregate under acidic conditions and move regularly under the force of an external magnet. Furthermore, the aggregated hybrid can be redispersed to form a stable suspension under basic conditions. These properties make it a potential candidate for controlled targeted drug delivery and release. 1 Introduction biology and biomedicine including targeted drug delivery,10–12 immunoassays,13 hyperthermia,14 magnetic resonance imaging Graphene has attracted tremendous attention because of its contrast enhancements,15 and the separation, purification or 1,2 3 4 5 unique electronic, thermal, mechanical, optical properties detection of proteins, DNA, viruses, cell, etc.16–19 For biological and many potential applications in nanomaterials and nano- applications, many researchers have prepared Fe3O4 magnetic technology.

  • Magnetic Nanoparticles As Targeted Delivery Systems in Oncology
    1 review Magnetic nanoparticles as targeted delivery systems in oncology Sara Prijic1 and Gregor Sersa2 1 Nanotesla Institute, Ljubljana, Slovenia 2 Institute of Oncology Ljubljana, Department of Experimental Oncology, Ljubljana, Slovenia Received 10 November 2010 Accepted 5 January 2011 Correspondence to: Prof. Gregor Serša, Institute of Oncology Ljubljana, Zaloška 2, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia. E-mail: [email protected] Disclosure: No potential conflicts of interest were disclosed. Background. Many different types of nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles being just a category among them, of- fer exciting opportunities for technologies at the interfaces between chemistry, physics and biology. Some magnetic nanoparticles have already been utilized in clinical practice as contrast enhancing agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, their physicochemical properties are constantly being improved upon also for other biologi- cal applications, such as magnetically-guided delivery systems for different therapeutics. By exposure of magnetic na- noparticles with attached therapeutics to an external magnetic field with appropriate characteristics, they are con- centrated and retained at the preferred site which enables the targeted delivery of therapeutics to the desired spot. Conclusions. The idea of binding chemotherapeutics to magnetic nanoparticles has been around for 30 years, how- ever, no magnetic nanoparticles as delivery systems have yet been approved for clinical practice. Recently, binding of nucleic acids to magnetic nanoparticles

  • An Efficient Copper-Based Magnetic Nanocatalyst for the Fixation
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN An efcient copper-based magnetic nanocatalyst for the fxation of carbon dioxide at atmospheric Received: 25 September 2017 Accepted: 2 January 2018 pressure Published: xx xx xxxx Rakesh Kumar Sharma1, Rashmi Gaur1, Manavi Yadav1, Anandarup Goswami2,3, Radek Zbořil 2 & Manoj B. Gawande 2 In the last few decades, the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the environment has caused havoc across the globe. One of the most promising strategies for fxation of CO2 is the cycloaddition reaction between epoxides and CO2 to produce cyclic carbonates. For the frst time, we have fabricated copper-based magnetic nanocatalyst and have applied for the CO2 fxation. The prepared catalyst was thoroughly characterized using various techniques including XRD, FT-IR, TEM, FE-SEM, XPS, VSM, ICP-OES and elemental mapping. The reactions proceeded at atmospheric pressure, relatively lower temperature, short reaction time, solvent- less and organic halide free reaction conditions. Additionally, the ease of recovery through an external magnet, reusability of the catalyst and excellent yields of the obtained cyclic carbonates make the present protocol practical and sustainable. In the present era of progressive global development, human activities, such as combustion of fossil fuels, deforestation and hydrogen production from hydrocarbons have contributed a lot towards raising the concen- 1 tration of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere . Moreover, this rise is considered to be the major benefactor 2 towards global warming and abnormal climate changes . Hence, the mitigation of CO2 emission has become the serious albeit challenging issue for the countries, scientists and concerned area of research. 3–6 Consequently, a plethora of strategies have been developed for capturing and storage of CO2 (CCS) .

  • Understanding the Benefits and Limitations of Magnetic Nanoparticle Heating for Improved Applications in Cancer Hyperthermia and Biomaterial Cryopreservation
    Understanding the Benefits and Limitations of Magnetic Nanoparticle Heating for Improved Applications in Cancer Hyperthermia and Biomaterial Cryopreservation A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Michael L. Etheridge IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisor: John C. Bischof December 2013 © Michael L. Etheridge 2014 Acknowledgements This work would not have been possible without the support (both professional and personal) of a great number of people. First, I would like to thank my advisor, Professor John Bischof, for his guidance throughout this endeavor. I waded into the Ph.D. program because I wanted to be sure that I could find a project I cared about and an advisor that I respected and could learn from. I think I developed a lot during my time here in the Bioheat and Mass Transfer Lab, thanks in a large part to our candid (and sometimes “lively”) discussions. Although our approaches may have differed, I think it provided overall for a great process and I am very proud of my work here. One of the greatest opportunities (and challenges) of this project was the collaborative nature of this research. Specifically, I would like to thank Dr. Steven Girshick (Mechanical Engineering), Dr. Rhonda Franklin (Electrical and Computer Engineering), Dr. Michael Garwood (Center for Magnetic Resonance Research), Dr. Jack Hoopes (Dartmouth College), Dr. Christy Haynes (Chemistry), and Dr. Chris Hogan (Mechanical Engineering), for a wide variety of technical and general direction over the years.

Magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) is one important class of nanomaterials that have been widely studied for their potential applications in nanomedicine. Due to the fact that MNPs can be detected and manipulated by remote magnetic fields, it opens a wide opportunity for them to be used in vivo. Nowadays, MNPs have been used for diverse applications including magnetic biosensing (diagnostics), magnetic imaging, magnetic separation, drug and gene delivery, and hyperthermia therapy, etc. This review aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the state-of-the-art biological and biomedical applications of MNPs. In addition, the development of high magnetic moment MNPs with proper surface functionalization has progressed exponentially over the past decade. Herein, we also reviewed the recent advances in the synthesis and surface coating strategies of MNPs. This review is not only to provide in-depth insights into the different synthesis, biofunctionalization, biosensing, imaging, and therapy methods but also to give an overview of limitations and possibilities of each technology.

Substantial progress was made in the synthesis of magnetic materials of desired size, morphology, chemical composition, and surface chemistry. Physical and chemical stability of magnetic materials is acquired by the coating. Moreover, surface layers of polymers, silica, biomolecules, etc. can be designed to obtain affinity to target molecules. The combination of the ability to respond to the external magnetic field and the rich possibilities of coatings makes magnetic materials universal tool for magnetic separations of small molecules, biomolecules and cells. In the biomedical field, magnetic particles and magnetic composites are utilized as the drug carriers, as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and in magnetic hyperthermia.
