Silica-gold nanoshell (SGNS), which is a silica core surrounded by a gold layer, was synthesized by seed-mediated coalescence of gold clusters in an electroless plating solution. SGNS variations with different surface coverage of gold clusters were prepared by adjusting the amounts of gold salts in
Magnetic field-responsive iron oxide-loaded hollow mesoporous silica nanocapsules that exhibit high drug loading capacity were synthesized using polymer nanospheres as sacrificial templates. Due to their magnetic field induced heating and remotely triggered drug release capabilities, these hybrid
In this study, a drug delivery system for chemo-hyperthermia applications is proposed and fabricated. The delivery system consists of magnetic-silica (MagSi) particles being encapsulated within a pH/thermo-responsive chitosan‑g‑N‑isopropylacrylamide (Chi-g-NIPAAm) polymer matrix. The as-prepared
We report a novel system of organically modified silica nanoparticles (Ormosil) capable of near infrared fluorescence and chemotherapy with adjuvant hyperthermia for image guided cancer therapy. Ormosil nanoparticles were loaded with a chemotherapeutic, Doxorubicin (DOX) and cyanine dye, IR820.
We prepared iron nanoparticle-encapsulating silica (FeSi) microspheres and tested their suitability as thermal seeds for hyperthermia in cancer therapy. These microspheres were prepared by introducing a ferric ion (Fe(3+)) into microspheres of a SiO(2) gel matrix derived from the hydrolysis of
Nanoparticles of manganese perovskite of the composition La(0.75)Sr(0.25)MnO(3) uniformly coated with silica were prepared by encapsulation of the magnetic cores (mean crystallite size 24 nm) using tetraethoxysilane followed by fractionation. The resulting hybrid particles form a stable suspension
The synthesis of three types of mesoporous materials is reported: pure mesoporous silica (MCM-41), a nanocomposite of mesoporous silica with hydroxyapatite (MCM-41-HA) and mesoporous silica/gold nanorods nanocomposite (MCM-41-GNRs). The mesoporous materials were characterized by X-ray diffraction,
Nanomaterial-based photothermal therapy has shown great potential for efficient cancer treatment. Here, we report a new hyperthermia agent, Au-silica nanowire nanohybrid (Au-SiNW nanohybrid) with tunable optical properties, for photothermal therapy. The unique feature of the synthetic method is no
OBJECTIVE
We investigated the use of hyperthermia to improve the anti-cancer efficacy of doxorubicin (DOX)-loaded mesoporous silica nanocontainer Si-SS-CD-PEG. The hypothesis was that heat stimulates glutathione-mediated degradation of cyclodextrin gatekeeper, thereby causing the release of DOX from
This paper summarizes nearly all magnetic silica nanocomposites that have been synthesized for biomedical applications and evaluated under alternating magnetic field (AMF) from the point of view of heat generation. The use of these nanocomposites as a drug delivery system for remote control of drug
Magnetic nanoparticles coated with materials having unique properties, such as ordered pore structures and large surface areas, hold great potential for multimodal therapies. This study reports on the biocompatibility of composites of maghemite nanoparticles embedded in an ordered mesoporous
In this study, we present an innovation in the tumor treatment in vivo mediated by magnetic mesoporous silica nanoparticles. This device was built with iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles embedded in a mesoporous silica matrix and coated with an engineered thermoresponsive polymer. The magnetic
Magnetic mesoporous silica (MMS) nanoparticles with controllable magnetization have been synthesized by encapsulating Fe3O4 nanoparticles in a mesoporous silica matrix. The structure, magnetic heating capacity and drug delivery ability of MMS nanoparticles were evaluated. The results showed that MMS
We report the preparation of magnetic mesoporous silica (MMS) nanoparticles with the potential multifunctionality of drug delivery and magnetic hyperthermia. Carbon-encapsulated magnetic colloidal nanoparticles (MCN@C) were used to coat mesoporous silica shells for the formation of the core-shell
A new kind of silica nanotube with incorporated γ-Fe(2)O(3) nanoparticles has been successfully prepared through sol-gel processes. Hematite particles supported on carbon nanotubes served as templates for the fabrication of the magnetic silica nanotubes. The obtained nanostructures consisting of
