Item type:Publication, Bifunctional submicron colloidosomes coassembled from fluorescent and superparamagnetic nanoparticles(Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weilheim, 2015-01-02); ; ; ; Colloidosomes are microcapsules consisting of nanoparticle shells. These microcarriers can be self-assembled from a wide range of colloidal particles with selective chemical, physical, and morphological properties and show promise for application in the field of theranostic nanomedicine. Previous studies have mainly focused on fairly large colloidosomes (>1 μm) based on a single kind of particle; however, the intrinsic building-block nature of this microcarrier has not been exploited so far for the introduction of tailored functionality at the nanoscale. We report a synthetic route based on interfacial shear rheology studies that allows the simultaneous incorporation of different nanoparticles with distinct physical properties, that is, superparamagnetic iron oxide and fluorescent silica nanoparticles, in a single submicron colloidosome. These tailor-made microcapsules can potentially be used in various biomedical applications, including magnetic hyperthermia, magnetic particle imaging, drug targeting, and bioimaging.journal article127 151 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Chitosan supraparticles with fluorescent silica nanoparticle shells and nanodiamond-loaded cores(2017-02-06); ; ; ; Spherical colloidal structures with a sparsely or densely packed shell of nanoparticles have been the subject of intense research efforts for more than a decade. Research has focused on the utilization of aqueous, soft, or solid cores mainly on the micron-scale. A synthesis route that combines a stabilizing biopolymer core in combination with small (15 nm) or ultrasmall (5 nm) nanoparticles templated on the surface is still missing and pivotal to push these structures further into bionanotechnological applications. Here, we present core-shell supraparticles with a nanodiamond-loaded chitosan core and a shell assembled from fluorescent silica nanoparticles with controlled packing density which feature final sizes significantly below one micrometer. The synthesis route is highly versatile and represents a general approach for the synthesis of sophisticated supraparticles with shells formed from distinct nanoparticle shells and biopolymer cores loaded with selective nanoparticles.journal articleBand:5Heft:8119 108
