pH clock-operated mechanized nanoparticles.
Mechanized nanoparticles (MNPs) consisting of supramolecular machines attached to the surface of mesoporous silica nanoparticles are designed to release encapsulated guest molecules controllably under pH activation. The molecular machines are comprised of cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) rings that encircle tethered trisammonium stalks and can be tuned to respond under specific pH conditions through che...
متن کاملPhotonic porous silicon as a pH sensor
Chronic wounds do not heal within 3 months, and during the lengthy healing process, the wound is invariably exposed to bacteria, which can colonize the wound bed and form biofilms. This alters the wound metabolism and brings about a change of pH. In this work, porous silicon photonic films were coated with the pH-responsive polymer poly(2-diethylaminoethyl acrylate). We demonstrated that the pH...
متن کاملTailoring the biodegradability of porous silicon nanoparticles.
Porous silicon nanoparticles (PSiNPs) are attractive carriers for targeted drug delivery in nanomedicine. For in vivo applications, the biodegradation property of PSiNPs provides a pathway for their safe clearance from the body. Particles sizes of 80-120 nm are of particular interest as they are important for cellular applications, such as drug delivery for cancer therapy, because these nanopar...
متن کاملPorous silicon nanoparticles for cancer photothermotherapy
The in vitro cell tests and in vivo animal tests were performed to investigate the feasibility of the photothermal therapy based on porous silicon (PSi) in combination with near-infrared (NIR) laser. According to the Annexin V- fluorescein isothiocyanate Apoptosis assay test results, the untreated cells and the cells exposed to NIR laser without PSi treatment had a cell viability of 95.6 and 91...
متن کاملNitric oxide-releasing porous silicon nanoparticles
In this study, the ability of porous silicon nanoparticles (PSi NPs) to entrap and deliver nitric oxide (NO) as an effective antibacterial agent is tested against different Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. NO was entrapped inside PSi NPs functionalized by means of the thermal hydrocarbonization (THC) process. Subsequent reduction of nitrite in the presence of d-glucose led to the produ...
