Facile synthesis of hydrophilic multi-colour and upconversion photoluminescent mesoporous carbon nanoparticles for bioapplications.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hydrophilic mesoporous carbon nanoparticles (MCNs) have been synthesized via an extremely facile precursor carbonization-in-hot solvent route. The synthesized MCNs show well-defined particle and pore size distribution at around 100 nm and 2.7 nm, respectively, and multicolor and upconversion photoluminescence, which endow the MCNs with multicolor/upconversion bioimaging and drug delivery properties.

Synthesis of photoluminescent carbogenic dots using mesoporous silica spheres as nanoreactors.
A novel and facile approach for preparing hydrophilic carbogenic dots (CDs) has been developed with mesoporous silica spheres as nanoreactors by using an impregnation method. The resulting highly efficient photoluminescent CDs without any further treatment are monodisperse, photostable and of low toxicity, and show excellent luminescence properties.
متن کاملMultifunctional Upconversion-Magnetic Hybrid Nanostructured Materials: Synthesis and Bioapplications
The combination of nanotechnology and biology has developed into an emerging research area: nano-biotechnology. Upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) have attracted a great deal of attention in bioapplications due to their high chemical stability, low toxicity, and high signal-to-noise ratio. Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are also well-established nanomaterials that offer controlled size, ability ...
متن کاملSynthesis of hydrophobic photoluminescent carbon nanodots by using L-tyrosine and citric acid through a thermal oxidation route
Hydrophobic photoluminescent carbon nanodots (CNDs) were fabricated by using citric acid and L-tyrosine precursor molecules through a simple, facile thermal oxidation process in air. These CNDs (less than 4 nm in size) exhibited a characteristic excitation wavelength dependent emission and upconversion emission properties and are insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents. FTIR and (1)...
متن کاملHydrophilic mesoporous carbon nanoparticles as carriers for sustained release of hydrophobic anti-cancer drugs.
The uniform mesoporous carbon nanoparticles (MCNs) with size below 200 nm and good water dispersibility were successfully synthesized via a combined hydrothermal synthesis and hard templating. The prepared MCNs served as effective carriers for camptothecin which efficiently inhibited the growth of MCF-7 cancer cells after its sustained release therein.
متن کاملShaping Nanoparticles with Hydrophilic Compositions and Hydrophobic Properties as Nanocarriers for Antibiotic Delivery
Inspired by the lotus effect in nature, surface roughness engineering has led to novel materials and applications in many fields. Despite the rapid progress in superhydrophobic and superoleophobic materials, this concept of Mother Nature's choice is yet to be applied in the design of advanced nanocarriers for drug delivery. Pioneering work has emerged in the development of nanoparticles with ro...
