Morphologies and functionalities of polymeric nanocarriers as chemical tools for drug delivery: A review
No full textIn these years a variety of polymeric nanocarriers such as dendrimers, polymeric micelles, nanoparticles, nanogels, nanocapsules and vesicles are widely investigated as potential drug delivery systems. In addition to the different morphologies and sizes, these carriers may have on their surfaces specific functionalizations to improve the drug loading and controlled release and specific ligands for cell receptors, in order to achieve a precise targeting. This review focuses on recent functionalized polymeric nanomaterials used as drug delivery systems, with an emphasis on morphology and surface modifications of polymeric nanocarriers to improve controlled drug delivery. Moreover, this work offers a number of suggestions on how to achieve the systematization of data on the most relevant physico-chemical parameters, which govern and control the interaction between carrier and drug, with the aim to give the reader an overview of the most significant advances in this field
Engineered Gold-Based Nanomaterials: Morphologies and Functionalities in Biomedical Applications. A Mini Review
No full textIn the last decade, several engineered gold-based nanomaterials, such as spheres, rods, stars, cubes, hollow particles, and nanocapsules have been widely explored in biomedical fields, in particular in therapy and diagnostics. As well as different shapes and dimensions, these materials may, on their surfaces, have specific functionalizations to improve their capability as sensors or in drug loading and controlled release, and/or particular cell receptors ligands, in order to get a definite targeting. In this review, the up-to-date progress will be illustrated regarding morphologies, sizes and functionalizations, mostly used to obtain an improved performance of nanomaterials in biomedicine. Many suggestions are presented to organize and compare the numerous and heterogeneous experimental data, such as the most important chemical-physical parameters, which guide and control the interaction between the gold surface and biological environment. The purpose of all this is to offer the readers an overview of the most noteworthy progress and challenges in this research field
Gold nanoparticles in photonic crystals applications: a review
Full text linkThis review concerns the recently emerged class of composite colloidal photonic crystals (PCs), in which gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) are included in the photonic structure. The use of composites allows achieving a strong modification of the optical properties of photonic crystals by involving the light scattering with electronic excitations of the gold component (surface plasmon resonance, SPR) realizing a combination of absorption bands with the diffraction resonances occurring in the body of the photonic crystals. Considering different preparations of composite plasmonic-photonic crystals, based on 3D-PCs in presence of AuNPs, different resonance phenomena determine the optical response of hybrid crystals leading to a broadly tunable functionality of these crystals. Several chemical methods for fabrication of opals and inverse opals are presented together with preparations of composites plasmonic-photonic crystals: the influence of SPR on the optical properties of PCs is also discussed. Main applications of this new class of composite materials are illustrated with the aim to offer the reader an overview of the recent advances in this field. © 2017 by the authors
