AbstractOwing to strong and tunable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect and good biocompatibility, gold nanoparticles have been suggested to be a versatile platform for a broad range of biomedical applications. In this study, a new nanoplatform of thermo-responsive polymer encapsulated gold nanorods incorporating indocyanine green (ICG) was designed to couple the photothermal properties of gold nanorods (AuNRs) and the photodynamic properties of ICG to enhance the photodynamic/photothermal combination therapy (PDT/PTT). In addition to the significantly increased payload and enhancing photostability of ICG, the polymer shell in the nanoplatform also has thermo-responsive characteristics that can control the release of drugs at tumour sites upon the laser irradiation. On the basis of these improvements, the nanoplatform strongly increased drug aggregation at the tumour site and improved the photothermal/photodynamic therapeutic efficacy. These results suggest that this nanoplatform would be a great potential system for tumour imaging and antitumour therapy.

Superior Corrosion Resistance

This work elucidated corrosion resistance of the electrodeposited MgO/calcium phosphate (Ca-P/MgO) films on titanium (Ti). The microstructure, phase composition, and corrosion resistance of the films were studied. Results revealed that The Ca-P/MgO composite coatings were rough and inhomogeneous, the upper layer was floral-like crystals or flakes agglomerates morphology, and the lower layer was needle-like crystals which were mutually cross linked. The coating was very dense, and the content of Mg was about 0.3 wt%. Potentiodynamic polarization test manifested that the Ca-P/MgO-coated surface exhibited superior corrosion resistance than the bare titanium.

Nanostructured Ceramics

Nanostructured materials have been largely studied in the last few years because they have a great potential to applications in different fields like physics, chemistry, biology, mechanic and medicine. Synthesis and characterization of nanostructured materials is a subject of great interest involving science, market, politicians, government and society. The nanostructured materials are in demand in biomedical area, mainly the bioceramics composed of calcium phosphates (Ca/P), which have an excellent biocompatibility and mineralogical characteristics similar to those of bones. The aim of this work was to optimize the method of powder synthesis of nanostructured calcium phosphate and of nanocomposites composed of calcium phosphate//SiO2n, containing 5, 10 and 15% (in volume) of nanometric silica (SiO2n). The results are expressed according to the method of synthesis, mineralogical and morphological characterization, and thermal behavior for the different compositions of the nanostructured powder synthesized.

Abstract Gold nanoparticles have been proven suggested to be a versatile platform for a broad range of biomedical applications owing to their strong and tunable surface plasmon resonance (SPR) effect and good biocompatibility. In this study, a new nanoplatform composed of thermo-responsivepolymer encapsulated gold nanorods incorporating ICG was designed to couple the photothermal properties of gold nanorods (AuNRs) and the photodynamic properties of ICG for enhanced photodynamic/photothermal combination therapy (PDT/PTT). For the nanoplatform, in addition to significantly increasing theICG payload with the additional benefit of enhancing ICG photostability, the polymer shell also has thermo-responsive characteristics, which can control the release of drugs at tumour sites afterlaser irradiation. On the basis of these improvements, the nanoplatform strongly increased drug aggregation at the tumour site and improvedthe photothermal/photodynamic therapeutic efficacy by inhibiting the growth of tumours in mice aftermild laser irradiation. These results suggest that thisnanoplatform is a great potential system for tumour imaging and antitumour therapy.
