This study developed a novel silica-coated magnetic nanoparticle (Fe3O4@SiO2@Cu BTC) based on a metal-organic framework (MOF) for targeted anticancer medication delivery. Using a co-precipitation method, the Fe3O4@SiO2 core was coated with Cu(OH)2 shell, which was then converted to CuBTC in a hydroethanolic mixture. Finally, a post-synthetic approach was used to manufacture a 3-(mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane functionalized Fe3O4@SiO2@Cu BTC nanocomposite. The resulting material is characterized using SEM-EDX, TEM, VSM, XRD, TGA, BET, UV–Vis, and FTIR techniques. TEM and SEM micrographs confirmed the core-shell structure. The resulting nanocomposite has high thermal stability, according to TGA findings. Because of their great biocompatibility and drug loading capability, coated Fe3O4@SiO2@Cu BTC nanoparticles might be perfect for drug delivery. Capecitabine (CAP), an anticancer medication, was successfully dispersed through MOF pores. The acquired data revealed that 91 percent of the CAP was adsorbed on the constructed framework, and that the release of capecitabine in PBS buffer solution (pH 5.7) at 37 °C took up to 60 hours to complete. The findings show that nano-sized MOFs-based magnetic NPs with high drug loading and acceptable biocompatibility are viable options for targeted drug delivery. پرونده مقاله

This research work describes the development strategy of microparticles with a hybrid configuration consisting of an inorganic part and an organic part. The inorganic part consists of silica gel (SiO2) with a diameter ~34 nm embedded in an organic polymer particle consisting of dimethyl malonate polymer (DMM). Anionic polymerization has been modified to incorporate SiO2 nanoparticles in a controlled manner in the polymer matrix. A design of experiments was identified and conducted to identify the main process variables that affect the final particle size. In particular, since polymerization of DMM may be fully initiated in the presence of hydroxyl anions, pH was found to control the overall diameter of the final particles between 300 nm and 1 µm. The overall loading of inorganic particles can be easily changed. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) shows that the colloidal stability of the hybrid microparticles depends on the ligand coating the inorganic component. This initial research provides a synthetic basis for evaluating the coating properties of nanoparticles and their self-assembly into new materials in the future. پرونده مقاله

The goal of this research is synthesis of hybrid inorganic-organic microstructure to form a monolayer with anti-reflective properties. Dimethyl Malonate –Silica gel (DMM-SiO2) composite were synthesized by chemical method from dimethyl malonate (DMM) and silica gel particles with a diameter ~34 nm. The anionic polymerization was applied for the preparation of composite. DMM as monomer polymerizes upon reacting with an initiator (OHin H2O) and terminate by a terminator (H+ in HCl). We modify the anionic polymerization reaction by adding silica gel nanoparticles before initiating polymerization. Variables including SiO2 concentration, surfactant concentration, DMM/SiO2 ratio, and pH of solution have been investigated. The optimal synthesis conditions were obtained by Box-Behnken design (BBD). The results show that reaction should be carried out at ambient temperature and pH 4.5. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as surfactant concentration, SiO2 concentration and DMM/SiO2 ratio should be 5 mmol, 2 w.t% and 4.2g/1g, respectively. DMM-SiO2 composite were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Thermogravimetry Analysis (TGA). پرونده مقاله
