Enzyme Functionality

Bioactive core–shell nanoparticles (CSNPs) offer the unique ability for protein/enzyme functionality in non-native environments. For many decades, researchers have sought to develop synthetic materials which mimic the efficiency and catalytic power of bioactive macromolecules such as enzymes and proteins. This research studies a self-assembly method in which functionalized, polymer-core/protein-shell nanoparticles are prepared in mild conditions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) techniques were utilized to analyze the size and distribution of the CSNPs. The methods outlined in this research demonstrate a mild, green chemistry synthesis route for CSNPs which are highly tunable and allow for enzyme/protein functionality in non-native conditions.

Core Shell Nanoparticles

Fe/Nd2O3 core–shell nanoparticles (CSNs) with a mean diameter of 35 nm were produced successfully by using hydrogen plasma-metal reaction (HPMR) method. This core–shell structure was confirmed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), energy dispersion X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectral (XPS), and induction-coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy. The magnetic properties were measured by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). It was found that the mole ratio of Nd to Fe on the nanoparticle surface is 1.2:1, about 7 times of that of the whole nanoparticle. The saturation magnetization Ms and remanence Mr of Fe/Nd2O3 nanoparticles decrease prominently from Fe nanoparticles, whereas the coercivity HC drops only less than 5% of Fe nanoparticle. These CSNs have potential applications in magnetic and catalytic fields.

Core Shell Nanoparticles

Carbon-encapsulated Ni nanoparticles with the size of 5 to 30 nm were synthesized from de-oiled asphalt (DOA) by heat-treatment at 1800 °C with nickel powder. The nanoparticles exhibited well-constructed core-shell structures, with Ni cores and graphitic shells. High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) examinations confirmed that the carbon-encapsulated Ni nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed in carbon matrix and the Ni nanoparticles were surrounded by several carbon layers with well ordered arrangement. The formation of the core-shell nanoparticles was selectively controlled by adjusting the ratio of de-oiled asphalt to nickel powders. The possible growth model for the carbon-encapsulated Ni nanoparticles was discussed briefly. This result presents a simple and controllable way to synthesize carbon-encapsulated nickel nanoparticles.

A targeting drug delivery system using folate-conjugated pluronic F127/chitosan core-shell nanoparticles was developed to deliver doxorubicin (DOX) to the target cancer cells. First, DOX was encapsulated in pluronic F127 micelle cores in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) by a self-assembly method. To form a shell, a layer of either chitosan or folate-conjugated chitosan was deposited onto the pluronic micelles. The encapsulation efficiency was approximately58.1±4.7%. The average size of the core-shell nanoparticles was37.4±2.0 nm, while the zeta potential was12.9±2.3 mV, indicating the presence of a shell layer and more stable particles. In anin vitroDOX release study, an initial burst release, followed by a sustained release, was observed within 24 hours. In addition, the core-shell nanoparticles showed greater cytotoxicity towards MCF-7 cells than free DOX, suggesting a better therapeutic efficacy in treating cancer.

Core Shell Nanoparticles

Core/shell type nanoparticles with an average diameter of 20nm were synthesized by chemical precipitation method. Firstly, Monodisperse Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized by solvethermal method. FeSO4ž7H2O and NaBH4 were respectively dissolved in distilled water, then moderated Fe3O4 particles and surfactant(PVP) were ultrasonic dispersed into the FeSO4ž7H2O solution. The resulting solution was stirred 2 h at room temperature. Fe could be deposited on the surface of monodispersed Fe3O4 nanoparticles to form core-shell particles. The particles were characterized by using various experimental techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), AGM and DTA. The results suggest that the saturation magnetization of the nanocomposites is 100 emu/g. The composition of the samples show monodisperse and the sides of the core/shell nanoparticles are 20-30nm. It is noted that the formation of Fe3O4/Fe nanocomposites magnetite nanoparticles possess superparamagnetic property.
