Nanomedicine, the application of nanoscience and nanotechnology to healthcare, hasemerged in the last two decades as a promising tool for several therapeutic and diagnosticapplications. In this context, a plethora of organic ...

The encapsulation of fluorescent dyes inside silica nanoparticles is advantageous to improve their quality as probes. Inside the particle, the fluorophore is protected from the external conditions and its main emission ...

In this work, thermoresponsive polymer grafted magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles were prepared, fully characterized and tested as controlled drug delivery systems. For this purpose, iron oxide nanoparticles coated ...

Silica nanoparticles present an enormous potential as controlled drug delivery systems with high selectivity towards diseased cells. This application is directly related to the phenomenon of protein corona, characterized ...

While mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) are extensively studied as high-potential drug delivery platforms, the successful clinical translation of these nanocarriers strongly depends on their biodistribution, biodegradation, ...

The knowledge of photochemical kinetics in colloidal systems is important in understanding environmental photochemistry on dispersed solid surfaces. As model materials for the chemically sorbed organic compounds present ...

Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) embedded with Zn(II) 2,9,16,23-tetrakis(methoxy)phthalocyanine (SiNPZnPcOCH3), Zn(II) 2,9,16,23-tetrakis(4-pyridyloxy) phthalocyanine (SiNPZnPcOPy) and Zn(II) 2,9,16,23-tetrakis(t-butyl) ...

Magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by the coprecipitation method. Additionally, two composites of silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by the Stöber method. The synthesized nanocompounds were ...

To date, control strategies used against insect pest species are based on synthetic insecticide applications. In addition, the efficacy of these treatments could be decreased due to insecticide resistance in insect ...
