Role of attached polymer chains on the vibrational relaxation of a C60 fullerene in aqueous solution
We have investigated the vibrational relaxation of a bare C60 fullerene and C60 fullerenes with covalently attached poly ethylene oxide PEO chains in aqueous solution using classical molecular dynamics simulations. The rate of transfer of vibrational energy from the excited fullerene to the surrounding water was found to be slow for the bare fullerene, with a vibrational relaxation time of appr...
متن کاملA nanocomplex of C60 fullerene with cisplatin: design, characterization and toxicity
The self-organization of C60 fullerene and cisplatin in aqueous solution was investigated using the computer simulation, dynamic light scattering and atomic force microscopy techniques. The results evidence the complexation between the two compounds. The genotoxicity of С60 fullerene, Cis and their complex was evaluated in vitro with the comet assay using human resting lymphocytes and lymphocyt...
متن کاملC60 Fullerene as Synergistic Agent in Tumor-Inhibitory Doxorubicin Treatment
BACKGROUND Doxorubicin (Dox) is one of the most potent anticancer drugs, but its successful use is hampered by high toxicity caused mainly by generation of reactive oxygen species. One approach to protect against Dox-dependent chemical insult is combined use of the cytostatic drug with antioxidants. C60 fullerene has a nanostructure with both antioxidant and antitumor potential and may be usefu...
متن کاملSynthesis and self-assembly of [60]fullerene containing sulfobetaine polymer in aqueous solution.
A well-defined poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMAEMA-b-C60) was synthesized using the atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) technique and betainized with 1,3-sulfobetaine to yield a Bet-PDMAEMA-b-C60. The solution properties were then studied by light transmittance, viscometric, 1H NMR laser light scattering, and transmission electron macroscopic techniques. It was found that...
متن کاملSolubilization and Encapsulation of Fullerenes by Amphiphilic Block Copolymers
Solubilization and encapsulation of fullerenes C60 and C70 by ultralarge hollow micelles formed by rod-coil diblock copolymers and characterization of the resulting self-organized fullerene-block copolymer assemblies are reported. The solubilization capacity of each fullerene in poly(phenylquinoline)-blockpolystyrene (PPQ-PS) micelles in binary solvents, trifluoroacetic acid/dichloromethane, an...
