SiO 2 : Fluorescent nanobubbles
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report a new nanomaterial in which ciprofloxacin molecules are incorporated inside silica nanobubbles, denoted as ciprofloxacin@SiO2. The material has been characterised using UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and emission spectroscopy. The material is stable and the freestanding particles can be precipitated and redispersed in several solvents. Confinement of the molecule is complete as leaching through the shell is minimal. The material behaves like free ciprofloxacin in solution; however, effects of confinement are manifested. Energy transfer reaction between ciprofloxacin@SiO2 and Tb was monitored by emission spectroscopy. The emission intensity decreased with metal ion exposure indicating selective electronic interaction.

متن کاملUltrasonic Nanobubbles Carrying Anti-PSMA Nanobody: Construction and Application in Prostate Cancer-Targeted Imaging
To facilitate prostate cancer imaging using targeted molecules, we constructed ultrasonic nanobubbles coupled with specific anti-PSMA (prostate specific membrane antigen) nanobodies, and evaluated their in vitro binding capacity and in vivo imaging efficacy. The "targeted" nanobubbles, which were constructed via a biotin-streptavidin system, had an average diameter of 487.60 ± 33.55 nm and carr...
متن کاملPreparation and characterization of dextran nanobubbles for oxygen delivery.
Dextran nanobubbles were prepared with a dextran shell and a perfluoropentan core in which oxygen was stored. To increase the stability polyvinylpirrolidone was also added to the formulation as stabilizing agent. Rhodamine B was used as fluorescent marker to obtain fluorescent nanobubbles. The nanobubble formulations showed sizes of about 500nm, a negative surface charge and a good capacity of ...
متن کاملSelective removal and quantification of Cu(II) using fluorescent iminocoumarin-functionalized magnetic nanosilica.
A newly prepared iminocoumarin-functionalized magnetic nanosilica (Ni@SiO(2)-1) was found to form a selective stable complex with Cu(2+) over other metal ions. Quantification of Cu(2+) ions in aqueous solution using Ni@SiO(2)-1 is demonstrated through a fluorescent demetallization ensemble process.
