Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles were prepared by the sol-gel method at different pH values (3.2-6.8) with a hydrochloric acid (HCl) solution. Raw samples were calcined at 500 °C for 2 h. The effects of pH on the structural, morphological and optical properties of TiO2 nanoparticles were investigated. At pH 4.4-6.8, only the anatase phase of TiO2 was observed. Under strong acidic condition...

Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs), in the two crystalline forms, rutile and anatase, have been widely used in many industrial fields, especially in cosmetics. Therefore, a lot of details about their safety issues have been discussed by the scientific community. Many studies have led to a general agreement about TiO2NPs toxicity, in particular for anatase form, but no mechanism details ha...

The self-assembly of β-casein and lysozyme, a linear and a globular protein with isoelectric point of pH 5.0 and 10.7, respectively, was studied. Polydisperse electrostatic complex micelles formed when mixing β-casein and lysozyme aqueous solutions. After the micelle solution was heated, lysozyme gelated and β-casein was trapped in the gel, producing narrowly dispersed nanoparticles. The nanopa...

Lysosomal enzymes function optimally in acidic environments, and elevation of lysosomal pH can impede their ability to degrade material delivered to lysosomes through autophagy or phagocytosis. We hypothesize that abnormal lysosomal pH is a key aspect in diseases of accumulation and that restoring lysosomal pH will improve cell function. The propensity of nanoparticles to end up in the lysosome...

Mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) have garnered a great deal of attention as potential carriers for therapeutic payloads. Here, we report a pH-responsive drug-carrier based on chondroitin sulfate functionalized mesostructured silica nanoparticles (NMChS-MSNs) ie, the amidation between NMChS macromer and amino group functionalized MSNs. The prepared nanoparticles were characterized using dy...

A microfluidic platform with a fluorescent nanoparticle-based sensor is demonstrated for real-time, ratiometric pH imaging of biofilms. Sensing is accomplished by a thin patterned layer of covalently bonded Ag@SiO2+FiTC nanoparticles on an embedded planar glass substrate. The system is designed to be sensitive, responsive and give sufficient spatial resolution to enable new micro-scale studies ...

Hydrogel nanocomposites containing silver nanoparticles of size 15–21 nm were prepared by diffusion and in-situ chemical reduction in chemically crosslinked polymers based on N-acryloyl-N′-ethyl piperazine (AcrNEP) and N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM). The polymer chains of the hydrogel network offered control and stabilization of silver nanoparticles without the need for additional stabilizers. T...

Whey proteins can be used as hydrogels and nanoparticle systems for encapsulation and controlled delivery of bioactive compounds. Whey protein concentrate (WPC) hydrogels exhibited pH-sensitive swelling behavior with minimum swelling ratio near the isoelectric point (pI) of whey proteins ( 5.1). The controlled drug release behavior of WPC hydrogels was studied using caffeine as a model drug. Co...

Novel glucose-sensitive systems for the release of insulin from poly(diethylaminoethyl methacrylate) (PDEAEM) micro-particles and nanoparticles decorated with glucose oxidase and catalase enzymes have been developed. The effect of polymer composition and loading conditions on the insulin loading efficiency and release was studied. The optimal conditions for loading insulin into PDEAEM micropart...

Biopolymer nanoparticles can be formed by heating globular protein/polysaccharide mixtures above the thermal denaturation temperature of the protein under pH conditions where the two biopolymers are weakly electrically attracted to each other. In this study, the influence of polysaccharide linear charge density on the formation and properties of these biopolymer nanoparticles was examined. Mixe...
