Chitosan, derived from chitin, is a biopolymer consisting of arbitrarily distributed β-(1-4)-
linked D-glucosamine and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine that exhibits outstanding properties …

The synthesis of functional nanoparticles with controllable size and shape is of great
importance because of their fundamental scientific significance and broad technological …

Herein a photon-manipulated mesoporous release system was constructed based on
azobenzene-modified nucleic acids. In this system, the azobenzene-incorporated DNA …

Magnetic nanoparticles have been used for many years as magnetic resonance imaging
contrast agents. Despite the fact that there are currently several dextran-coated iron oxide …

Most produced crude oil and oily wastewater from oilfields typically exist in the form of
emulsions; this makes their demulsification a very challenging process. Chemical …

With the potential uses of photothermal therapy (PTT) in cancer treatment with excellent
efficacy, and the growing concerns about the nanotoxicity of hyperthermia agents such as …

A major problem associated with drug therapy is the inability to deliver pharmaceuticals to a
specific site of the body without causing nonspecific toxicity. Development of magnetic …

Oleic acid (OA)-coated magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles, denoted Fe3O4@ OA, were
synthesized by co-precipitation in the presence of varying contents of OA. The Fe3O4@ OA …

Hyperthermia has been reported to be an effective cancer treatment modality, as tumor cells
are more temperature-sensitive than their normal counterparts. Since the ambient …
