▼ This thesis consists of two parts. The first part deals with the
magnetic properties of Fe3O4
nanocrystals and their possible application in water remediation. The second part is on the delamination of layered materials and the preparation of new layered hybrids from the delaminated sheets.
In recent years, nanoscale
magnetic particles have attracted considerable attention because of their potential applications in industry, medicine and environmental remediation. The most commonly studied
magnetic nanoparticles are metals, bimetals and metal oxides. Of these, magnetite, Fe3O4, nanoparticles have been the most intensively investigated as they are, non-toxic, stable and easy to synthesize.
Magnetic properties of nanoparticles such as the saturation magnetization, coercivity and blocking temperature are influenced both by size and shape. Below a critical size
magnetic particles can become single domain and above a critical temperature (T B , the blocking temperature) thermal fluctuations can induce random flipping of
magnetic moments resulting in loss of
magnetic order. At temperatures above the blocking temperature the particles are superparamagnetic.
Magnetic nanocrystals of similar dimensions but with different shapes show variation in
magnetic properties especially in the value of the blocking temperature, because of differences in the surface anisotropy contribution. The properties of
magnetic nanoparticles are briefly reviewed in Chapter 1. The objective of the present study was to synthesize Fe3O4
nanocrystals of different morphologies, to understand the difference in
magnetic properties associated with shape and to explore the possibility of using Fe3O4
nanocrystals in water remediation.
In the present study, oleate capped magnetite (Fe3O4)
nanocrystals of spherical and cubic morphologies of comparable dimensions (∼10nm) have been synthesized by thermal decomposition of FeOOH in high-boiling octadecene solvent (Chapter 2). The
nanocrystals were characterized by XRD, TEM and XPS spectroscopy. The nanoparticles of different morphologies exhibit very different blocking temperatures. Cubic
nanocrystals have a higher blocking temperature (T B = 190 K) as compared to spheres (T B = 142 K). From the shift in the hysteresis loop it is demonstrated that the higher blocking temperature is a consequence of exchange bias or exchange anisotropy that manifests when a ferromagnetic material is in physical contact with an antiferromagnetic material. In nanoparticles, the presence of an exchange bias field leads to higher blocking temperatures T B because of the
magnetic exchange coupling induced at the interface between the ferromagnet and antiferromagnet. It is shown that in these
iron oxide nanocrystals the exchange bias field originates from trace amounts of the antiferromagnet wustite, FeO, present along with the ferrimagnetic Fe3O4 phase. It is also shown that the higher FeO content in
nanocrystals of cubic morphology is responsible for the larger exchange bias fields that in turn lead to a higher blocking temperature.…

▼ Arsenic and uranium in the environment are hazardous to human health and require better methods for detection and remediation. Nanocrystalline
iron oxides offer a number of advantages as sorbents for water purification and environmental remediation. First, highly uniform and crystalline
iron oxide nanocrystals (nMAG) were prepared using thermal decomposition of
iron salts in organic solutions; for the applications of interest in this thesis, a central challenge was the adaptation of these conventional synthetic methods to the needs of low infrastructure and economically disadvantaged settings. We show here that it is possible to form highly uniform and magnetically responsive nanomaterials using starting reagents and equipment that are readily available and economical. The products of this approach, termed the 'Kitchen Synthesis', are of comparable quality and effectiveness to laboratory materials. The narrow size distributions of the
iron oxides produced in the laboratory synthesis made it possible to study the size-dependence of the
magnetic separation efficiency of
nanocrystals; generally as the diameter of particles increased they could be removed under lower applied
magnetic fields. In this work we take advantage of this size-dependence to use
magnetic separation as a tool to separate broadly distributed populations of
magnetic materials. Such work makes it possible to use these materials in multiplexed separation and sensing schemes. With the synthesis and
magnetic separation studies of these materials completed, it was possible to optimize their applications in water purification and environmental remediation. These materials removed both uranium and arsenic from contaminated samples, and had remarkably high sorption capacities – up to 12 wt% for arsenic and 30 wt% for uranium. The contaminated nMAG is removed from the drinking water by either retention in a sand column, filter, or by
magnetic separation. The uranium adsorption process was also utilized for the enhanced detection of uranium in environmental matrices. By relying on α-particle detection in well-formed and dense nMAG films, it was possible to improve soil detection of uranium by more than ten-thousand-fold. Central for this work was a detailed understanding of the chemistry at the
iron oxide interface, and the role of the organic coatings in mediating the sorption process.

▼ Surface modification of electrodes becomes a powerful process to improve the performance
of organic electronic devices such as organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs)
and organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs), boosting their further commercialization. Effective
improvement can be achieved by introducing several types of nanoparticles
onto the electrodes. Magnetic fields also have influence in the organic electronics,
due to charge transport mechanisms of organic semiconducting materials. Therefore,
magnetic nanoparticles are of particular interest.
Magnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles have been produced using diblock copolymer reverse
micelles method. The processes were elucidated in detail by Raman spectroscopy
to reveal the iron oxide evolution. Compositional and structural information of individual
γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles were also characterized thoroughly by transmission
electron microscopy (TEM) equipped with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX)
and electron energy loss spectroscopy (EELS), while their magnetic properties of the
nanoparticles arrays were also evaluated by superconducting quantum interference
device (SQUID) magnetometer. The low temperature annealing process was developed
to facilitate the incorporation of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles in practical devices. Introducing
γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles onto the anode of basic OPV devices showed a positive
effect on performance during the preliminary test.
By using several methods, dispersion of γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles can be tuned, examined
by disLocate which is a comprehensive suite of tools for quantitative dispersion
analysis. Additionally, the size of the nanoparticles can be changed simply by changing
the loading ratio of FeCl3 below the maximum loading which was determined by
quantum mechanical mapping using atomic force microscopy (AFM-QNM). With
high control in terms of size and dispersion, the magnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles are
ready to be employed to study the surface modification and magnetic effect on organic
electronic devices.

▼ Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MIONs) have unique physical-chemical properties for a wide range of biomedical applications, including targeted drug delivery, multimodality molecular imaging, thermal therapies, and biomarker detection. In this study, I optimized MIONs for different biomedical applications. First, to improve the efficacy of cancer immunotherapy for solid tumors, I increased endocytosis of MIONs into T cells using cell penetrating peptides to enable better in vivo imaging and targeting. Secondly, to facilitate hyperthermia therapy and anti-cancer drug delivery by heat-triggered release, I coated MIONs with mesoporous silica and demonstrated enhanced colloidal stability and heating efficiency. Thirdly, to measure the levels of trace biomarkers for early cancer detection with high sensitivity, I quantified pancreatic cancer biomarkers in patient serum samples using europium-doped
iron oxide nanoparticle-linked immunosorbent assay (ILISA) and optimized the detection limit of the assay. Our work further expanded the translational potentials of MIONs.

▼ The research described in this Dissertation is concerned generally with the exploration of the potential use of lanthanide elements in nanostructured materials for the purpose of modification of the
magnetic and optical properties. This is explored through a focus on the development of lanthanide-containing
iron oxide nanosystems. Our objectives of producing lanthanide containing nanostructured materials with potentially useful optical and
magnetic applications has been achieved through the development of lanthanide-doped Fe3O4 and -Fe2O3 nanoparticles, as well as a unique core-shell
magnetic-upconverting nanoparticle system.Necessary background information on nanomaterials, rationale for the study of lanthanide-containing
iron oxide nanosystems and context for discussion of the results obtained in each project is provided in the Introduction Chapter. The syntheses of Fe3O4 nanoparticles doped with Eu(III) and Sm(III) are discussed, along with structural characterization and
magnetic property investigation of products In Chapter 2. The following Chapter expands the study of lanthanide doping to -Fe2O3, a closely related yet distinct
magnetic nanoparticle system. A completely different synthesis is attempted, and comparisons between the two systems are made.The development of novel synthetic methodologies used to create such products has yielded high-quality lanthanide-containing materials and are evidenced by TEM images displaying nearly monodisperse particles in each of our efforts. The modifications to the
magnetic properties resulting from lanthanide doping include theobservation of ferromagnetism in the Fe3O4 system and increased
magnetic saturation of -Fe2O3 nanoparticles, and are characterized by VSM and the visual observation of
magnetic alignment of products. Our efforts towards developing a novel methodology capable of producing high quality Fe3O4 nanoparticles, and subsequent characterization of products, were published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society.Optically active,
magnetic, core-shell nanoparticles are investigated in Chapter 4 for the potential uses in diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This multifunctional system uses Fe3O4 as a
magnetic core, shelled by upconverting lanthanide-containing nanomaterials, and is rendered biocompatible through encapsulation of the core-shell structure by a silica shell. Added functionality is achieved through amine functionalization of the silica surface, with the goal of coupling the inorganic nanoparticle with drug targeting groups. TEM results indicate successful formation of the core-shell nanoparticles, and expected
magnetic and optical properties are shown by visual observation and luminescence spectroscopy, respectively.

▼ Magnetic nanoparticles are effective in a range of biomedical applications including magneticresonance imaging (MRI) contrast enhancement. The efficacy of nanoparticles ascontrast agents depends mainly on the surface chemistry and
magnetic properties of theparticles, with a large
magnetic moment inducing efficient transverse (T₂) relaxation ofprotons. This results in improved negative enhancement of MRI contrast on T₂ weightedsequences.
Iron oxide nanoparticles (FeOx NPs) have been used in MRI for 20 years andare the only commercially available T₂ contrast agents. A significantly larger magneticmoment can potentially be achieved with
iron nanoparticles (Fe NPs), but developmenthas been hampered by difficulty in preparing stable particles. In this study, stable Fe NPwere prepared by a novel, simple, synthesis and compared with FeOx NP as T₂ contrastagents in a range of MRI-based biomedical applications.The effectiveness of Fe NPs versus FeOx NPs to negatively enhance MRI contrast onT₂ weighted sequences was first examined in vitro. The Fe NPs and FeOx NPs werecharacterised by electron microscopy and found to be of similar size (16nm). The Fe NPspossessed a core of highly
magnetic α-Fe inside a 3nm shell of FeOx of the same crystalstructure as the pure FeOx NPs. Both types of NP were coated with the same molecule,DMSA, to produce aqueous dispersions with similar hydrodynamic particle sizes andpharmacokinetics. When dispersed in gels and examined by MRI, the Fe NPs were foundto produce more than twice the amount of T₂ contrast change per unit concentrationrelative to FeOx NPs. When cells were labelled in vitro, Fe NPs produced greater T₂contrast enhancement in all cell types tested, whilst there was no significant difference in the uptake of
iron or the cytotoxicity between cells labelled with Fe or FeOx NPs.To assess the clinical applicability of the nanoparticles in vivo, FeOx NPs and Fe NPswere administered to mice and MRI experiments were performed at 1.5 T. Contrast effectsof the NPs were examined in the liver, spleen and lymph nodes, as tissues in theseorgans are rich in phagocytic cells and have a strong tendency to take up circulatingNPs. In all three organs studied, the Fe NPs produced noticeably darker contrast thanthe FeOx NPs, providing twice the contrast improvement.One of the most intensely researched applications of
magnetic nanoparticles in MRI is improving detection of cancer in the lymph nodes. To model the size and NP uptake ofsmall lymph node metastases in humans, a mouse model was developed by injecting 4T1breast cancer cells directly into the mouse spleen. Analysis of mice bearing 4T1 tumoursperformed at 1.5 T showed that Fe NPs produced better contrast than FeOx NPs andimproved the detection of small tumours in the spleen as determined by two blindedradiologists. Indeed, the heightened sensitivity and specificity improved the threshold ofcancer detection on previous studies performed at 1.5 T.It was then examined whether the improved T₂ contrast could enable new MRI applicationsin vivo.

▼ Considerable progress in the synthesis of colloidal inorganic nanocrystas has allowed their exploitation in different applications, ranging from electronics to biomedicine. A significant advancement in the syntheses of nanocrystals entails the capacity to afford not only single- but multi- material hybrids. This thesis presents the development of colloidal chemistry protocols and the characterization of a self-assembled secondary structure (nanocluster) and a hybrid multimaterial heterostructure.
The nanoclusters involve a low cytotoxivity assembly of small γ-Fe2O3 nanocrystals (NCs). The colloidal assemblies are ferrimagnetic in aqueous dispersions and composed of crystallographically aligned NCs. The colloid of nanoclusters operates as a tunable photonic crystal under a moderate magnetic field. Their potential in biomedical diagnosis (MRI) and therapy (magnetic hyperthermia) is shown. Due to their tailored magneto-structural characteristics, the intra-cluster magnetic material volume fraction is raised, in turn producing a remarkable improvement of the transverse 1H-NMR relaxivity (4-5 times higher than that of the commercial contrast agent Endorem®) and a much higher Specific Loss Power is attained than that of other rival nanostructures.
The hybrid heterostructure consists of ZnO nanorods uniformly covered by size-tunable [email protected] core-shell nanocrystals. The bi-functional [cf. with near band-edge (NBE) UV fluorescence and ferromagnetism at 300 K] nanomaterial is characterized by an extended surface coverage with small [email protected] nanodomains, where the interfacial coupling across the Fe-core and FexOy-shell generates exchange-bias, mediated by frozen interfacial spins. In the case of a lower coverage density by larger [email protected] domains, the operating Kirkendall effect between the core and the shell suppresses the exchange coupling anisotropy. Importantly, the interfacial interactions between [email protected] scale with the degree of surface coverage and a strain-induced blue-shift of the NBE is observed.

▼ Knowledge of energy dissipation and relaxation in electron, spin, and lattice degrees of freedom is of fundamental importance from both a technological and scientific point of view. In this dissertation, the electronic and magnetization dynamics of photoexcited colloidal cobalt substituted
iron oxide nanocrystals, CoxFe3-xO4, were investigated through transient absorption and pump-probe Faraday rotation measurements.
In this dissertation, linearly polarized femtosecond optical pulses at 780 nm were used to excite the weak absorption originating from the intervalence charge transfer transition (IVCT) between Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions of Fe3O4
nanocrystals. The timescale and corresponding relaxation processes of electronic relaxation dynamics of the excited IVCT state were first discussed. Size effect on electronic relaxation dynamics in Fe3O4
nanocrystals is not distinct on the basis of result from this study. One interesting feature of electronic dynamics data of photoexcited Fe3O4
nanocrystals is the creation of coherent acoustic phonons. Information on lattice temperature was obtained by measuring the period of coherent acoustic phonon as a function of excitation fluence and fit into a simple model based on Lamb’s theory. Since optical control of the magnetization can be either through optical or heating mechanisms, quantitative estimation of degree of demagnetization caused by lattice temperature is made by using Langevin function. The result from such estimation indicates the effect of lattice temperature rise on magnetization is too small to significantly affect the magnetization of Fe3O4
nanocrystals.
Magnetization dynamics were studied via pump-probe Faraday rotation measurements. Optical excitation with near-infrared pulse resulted in an ultrafast demagnetization in 100fs. The energy of the excited state then relaxed through spin-lattice relaxation (SLR). Effects of surface spin and chemical tuning on the SLR were investigated by comparing the magnetization recovery timescales of nanocrystal with different particle sizes and cobalt concentration respectively. The experimental result is explained by a simple model where interior and surface spins contributed to the spin-lattice relaxation process differently. The observations suggest that spin-orbit coupling of the surface is stronger and less sensitive to stoichiometric variation than the interior spins of the
nanocrystals.

▼ The treatment of tumours using microbeads for embolization and drug delivery is a widely used, but often ineffective, technique. In this work, we aim to produce microbeads for this application with four main improvements: visibility, target-ability, degradability, and an alternative route for drug loading. We accomplish this through the fabrication of ~100μm diameter microbeads composed of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), iron oxide nanoparticles, and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) using a custom-designed microchannel system. Characterization demonstrated that microbeads were magnetic, as well as visible under clinical CT. Separately, the dissolution of PVA iron oxide hydrogels exposed to different environmental conditions was studied. Iron release and mass loss was demonstrated, and the weakening of material was confirmed using mechanical testing. This shows the potential for microbeads composed of this material to ‘degrade’ over time. PVA iron oxide CNC microbeads are promising as a multifunctional visualization and delivery system.

▼ Oxide materials possess functional properties with utility in many applications ranging from electronic, optical,
magnetic to catalytic. Current understandings into fundamental behaviour of
oxide nanomaterials has been through typically synthesis of epitaxial and single-crystalline two dimensionally constrained thin films. On the other hand, most direct applications of
oxide nanomaterials require nanoparticles or nanocrystal functionality, whose synthesis methods offer little control or detailed understanding of the subtle surface and orientation driven effects.In this thesis, the precise control of surface and orientation offered via epitaxy is combined with chemically driven segregation effects, to grow binary
oxide nanocrystals. Not only is control of phase structure but also tuning of size, distribution and orientation is achieved. Furthermore the functionality of these
oxide nanocrystals is investigated through scanning probe microscopy. Finally the adaptability of this chemical synthesis method is demonstrated via integration with perovskite
oxide electrodes. Overall this thesis demonstrates the potential of chemical-segregation driven synthesis techniques for epitaxial
oxide nanocrystals.

▼ ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Functional composite nanofibres incorporated with
magnetic carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were successfully synthesized using the electrospinning technique. This is the first example of the preparation of such composite nanofibres. In this study, a nanofibrous mat of electrospun nanofibres constitutes the polymer matrix, with the addition of various CNTs as reinforcing nanomaterials in order to form polymer/CNT nanocomposites (PCNs). Poly(methyl methacrylate) homopolymer, possessing a sufficiently high molar mass for electrospinning, was synthesized for use as polymer matrix. The effect that the polymer solution parameters, processing parameters and ambient parameters have on the fibre morphology are discussed.
In a parallel study, multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and
magnetic CNTs (with controlled amounts of
magnetic nanoparticles embedded in the walls) were chemically modified by means of oxidation and subsequent polymer grafting. Chemical modification was carried out in order to compatibilize the reinforcing nanomaterials with the polymer matrix for production of PCNs with a well dispersed and exfoliated structure.
As a comparison to the
magnetic CNTs mentioned above,
magnetic CNTs were synthesized by decorating the surface of oxidized MWCNTs with
magnetic nanoparticles. Decoration was made possible by carboxylic acid moieties present on the oxidized MWCNT backbone, which acted as anchoring sites through which chemical functionalities could be attached. Successful synthesis of MWCNT-Fe3O4 was achieved using an ex-situ and simpler single-step in-situ approach. Compatibilization with the polymer matrix for production of PCNs is achieved via the remaining carboxylic acid functionalities present as a result of initial oxidation.
The various CNTs were incorporated into electrospun nanofibres as reinforcing nanomaterials and PCNs were thus formed. Increasing amounts of the various CNTs were added to the electrospinning polymer solution. By the addition of CNTs, the viscosity of the electrospinning solution increased, which prevented efficient electrospinning. The polymer concentration was, therefore, varied in specific ratios depending on the amount of CNTs incorporated. The effect the addition of CNTs has on the fibre morphology is discussed. After electrospinning, fibres in the nanometer range were obtained. Successful incorporation, and thus interaction of the CNTs with the electrospun polymer matrix, was confirmed by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) images which verified the presence of well distributed CNTs which align along the electrospun polymer nanofibres due to the stretching of the fibres during electrospinning.
The
magnetic response of nanofibres reinforced with ex-situ and in-situ MWCNT-Fe3O4 exhibited superparamagnetic behaviour; as was proved with superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry where curves with the characteristic sigmoidal shape showing zero coercivity, zero remanence and no hysteresis loops were obtained.
In summation, property enhancement of…

▼ 5-year survival for pancreatic cancer is about 10% worldwide. A subset of this cancer, pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), is estimated to become the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the US by 2030. This cancer is commonly diagnosed late, so by the time the patient presents with symptoms, current treatments are ineffective against PDAC in its advanced stage. Research into novel therapies is therefore necessary to tackle this aggressive malignancy.
Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP) are small,
magnetic materials with a variety of interesting properties that make them promising candidates for treating and diagnosing cancer. Upon exposure to external alternating
magnetic fields, these materials can heat up and treat tumours through a procedure called
magnetic hyperthermia. Moreover, this
magnetic hyperthermia treatment can be incorporated into current treatment regimens for PDAC patients, where it has shown to enhance the effects of chemotherapy and radiation. Currently, an IONP called Nanotherm? is clinically approved to treat glioblastoma, an aggressive brain cancer, with
magnetic hyperthermia. It has also shown promising results in trials for prostate cancer.
This project follows the testing of new IONP to treat PDAC with
magnetic hyperthermia. The nanoparticles were characterized, tested for their heating capabilities, assessed for endotoxin contamination and their potential to induce immunotoxicities in vitro and in vivo. This work was run in parallel to the work of collaborators with the hopes of contributing to a dossier for a clinical trial for these nanoparticles.

The main objective of the thesis is to develop materials for non-invasive therapies to promote blood vessel regeneration after an ischemic event. For that we used
iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles for imaging (through
Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and accumulation of proteins / cells into specific tissues under the influence of an external
magnetic field. Two strategies have been developed: the first one by introducing
magnetic nanoparticles in endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) and the second one into polymeric nanocapsules together with a vascular growth factor.
The thesis is organized in six chapters:
CHAPTER 1
Superparamagnetic
iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are known for their use in clinical diagnosis as contrast agents allowing the visualization of tissues through
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The chapter contains a brief introduction to nanotechnology and a presentation of the
magnetic properties of the materials. It also contains a review of the most common synthetic methods used to obtain superparamagnetic
iron oxide nanoparticles.
CHAPTER 2
In this chapter is described the synthesis of superparamagnetic
iron oxide nanoparticles using two techniques: thermal decomposition and microwave assisted sol-gel route. Both methods allow to obtain monodisperse particles with size less than 20 nm and excellent
magnetic properties. Particles have been successfully stabilized in water and different cell media by ionic stabilizers (tetramethylammonium hydroxide and sodium citrate).
CHAPTER 3
Cerebral ischaemia is defined as the blockage of cerebral arteries, due to a thrombus or embolus, which produce tissue damage in the zone not perfused with blood. Brain tissue regeneration and repair, based on the improvement of endogenous angiogenesis, could become reality in the near future having identified endothelial progenitors (EPCs) cells in adults. The EPCs are cells that can induce revascularization and / or remodeling of blood vessels by release of angiogenic factors.
Our goal is to enhance the therapeutic action of EPCs guiding them toward specific areas of the brain with an external
magnetic field to enhance regeneration after cerebral stroke. Experiments of in vitro cell labeling, cell toxicity and functionality are
described in this chapter. In addition we showed an in vivo experiment using animal models to demonstrate the accumulation of magnetized EPCs in the brain under a
magnetic field due to an external magnet implantation.
CHAPTER 4
Another strategy is to encapsulate growth factors together with
magnetic nanoparticles (SPIONs) into biodegradable nanocapsules of poly (D,l-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA), so that these can be guided toward the brain injury by applying an external
magnetic field. During the training period in the group of the Ecole de Pharmacie Genève-Lausanne (EPGL) I started the synthesis of polymeric nanocapsules…

▼ Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States and few treatments offer a panacea for all the various types of cancer that exist. Certain superparamagnetic
iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) are FDA-approved as contrast agents in
magnetic resonance imaging while the potential applications for SPIONs are numerous. One such application is
magnetic hyperthermia (MH) where alternating
magnetic fields applied to SPIONs generate heat. MH in treating cancer would cause cancer cells to deteriorate from the inside without the use of strong chemotherapeutics. SPION effectiveness is hindered by the low uptake in cancer cells and the generation of reactive oxygen species that cause harm to the healthy cells in the body.
In early studies, healthy, primary mouse kidney and lung fibroblasts had an increased uptake of
iron oxide nanoparticles (IONs) versus human brain cancer cells (E297 and U87) and mouse osteosarcomas (K7M2.) Hydroxyapatite (HAP), the primary ceramic in our bones, offers a solution to SPION delivery. HAP particles are commended as a biomaterial for their biodegradability and biocompatibility, and their use as a nonviral transfection agent. Dispersing IONS in HAP nanoparticles could increase the uptake in cancer cells and minimize the risk to healthy cells.
The goal of this work is the construction and characterization of a hydroxyapatite-
iron oxide nanocomposite (HAP-ION) usable as a device for
magnetic hyperthermia, minimizing the risk to healthy cells and increasing their uptake in cancer cells. HAP-IONs retain the superparamagnetic nature of IONs, have increased uptake in cancer cells versus their ION counterparts, reduce cancer cell viability and primary cancer spheroid migration, and maintain the viability of healthy human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs). Further analysis of actin cytoskeleton revealed that healthy hMSCs have a reduced anisotropy in their cytoskeleton arrangement after the uptake of IONs, while primary cancerous cells have an increased anisotropy in cytoskeleton arrangement after the uptake of IONs. Nanocomposites of hydroxyapatite and IONs open a new avenue to cancer therapies that utilize MH.

▼ The goal of this dissertation was to establish a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based tracking method for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in ovine and equine models of tendonitis and to apply this method in a longitudinal assessment of cell
tracking and tendon healing in vivo. The first aim was designed to establish a labeling method using superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs) in sheep, validate detection limits in vitro and in vivo at 3 Tesla (T), and follow out sheep after
injection of labeled cells for 7 and 14 days. Labeled, ovine MSCs remained viable, proliferate, and undergo tri-lineage differentiation and remained detectable in vitro in cell numbers as low as 10,000. Cells remained detectable in vivo by MRI at 7 days,
as confirmed by correlative histology for dually labeled SPIO+/GFP+ cells, but cells were not confirmed at 14 days. The second aim was designed to establish a SPIO labeling method in the equine and to validate detection in a clinically relevant model of
tendon injury at 1.5 T. Assays indicated no significant changes in cell viability, proliferation, migration, or tri-lineage differentiation due to the presence of SPIOs. Clusters of labeled cells were visible as signal voids in 6/6 subjects. Coalescing
regions of signal void were diffusely present in the peritendinous tissues. Greater than expected delocalization of cells was present and relatively few cells were retained within collagenous tendon compared to surrounding fascia. The final aim was to
non-invasively monitor cell migration and survival concurrent with healing in an ovine model of acute tendon injury over 28 weeks. SPIO-associated signal dropped off exponentially over the first 6 weeks, but remained present until 28 weeks. Standard
deviation (SD) of MRI signal, signal to noise ratios (SNR), and signal difference to noise ratios (SDNR) decreased over time in all subjects. MSC-treated tendons had lower SD, SNR and SDNR than control and SPIO-MSC treated tendons at 28 weeks. Overall,
SPIO-labeling appears to be an effective and safe method to label MSCs, although some drawbacks are present. MSC treatment appears to improve tendon healing, but care should be taken when assessing SPIO-labeled cells concurrently with tendon
quality.

▼ Brain tumors are highly lethal, most often resulting in a terminal prognosis. Today's standard-of-care has not significantly altered patient survival time. The status quo indicates the need for a more targeted, multi-functional therapeutic approach. Nanotechnology has been implicated as a potential magic bullet drug carrier solution to cancer, with
magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) representing a unique, magnetically responsive type of nanomaterial. MNPs have been targeted to brain tumors by applying an external
magnetic field to lesions. The short circulation times of preferred MNPs, though, limits their availability for targeting, and, thus, tumor delivery. If plasma residence were enhanced, the question then arises: would targeting efficiency improve? This dissertation aimed to develop long-circulating MNPs suitable for enhanced
magnetic brain tumor targeting. Aminosilane (A) and cross-linked starch coated, polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugated MNP candidates were synthesized using N-hydroxysuccinimide chemistry and characterized. Candidates were similar in size (140 – 190 nm) and PEG content, (up to 1.5 mol %) and deemed magnetically suitable for targeting. Candidates were subjected to in vitro reticuloendothelial system simulations to predict long-circulating behavior in vivo. Unlike the A-platform, cross-linked starch PEG-MNPs (D5/D20) performed well in vitro showing sustained size stability in cell culture medium and up to 10-fold reduced uptake in RAW 264.7 macrophages, when compared to previously studied starch-coated MNPs (D). Simulations predicted improved circulation behavior, with intravenously administered D5/D20 (12 mg Fe/kg) showing up to an estimated 150-fold increase in tumor exposure over D in 9L-glioma bearing rats. Validated electron spin resonance methodology was used to study biodistribution of D5/D20 in tissues of elimination. MNP concentrations in the spleen were high, and, unexpectedly, appeared attenuated in the liver. Improved exposure of MNPs to rat 9L-glioma lesions resulted in enhanced
magnetic brain tumor targeting (t=1 hr) with up to 1.0% injected dose (ID)/g tissue (200 g animal) delivery achieved, a 15-fold improvement over targeted D (0.07% ID/g tissue).
Magnetic resonance imaging confirmed targeting enhancements. Results achieve proof-of-concept that long-circulating MNPs permit enhanced
magnetic targeting of nanoparticles to brain tumors, warranting further development of the materials and strategy studied.

▼ Magnetic nanoparticles hold tremendous potential to change the way we study the body and have the potential to revolutionize how we diagnose and treat disease. By reducing
iron oxide to the nanoscale, the superparamagnetic property is unlocked which drastically changes how the particles interact with each other and respond to external
magnetic fields. The distinct functional properties of
iron oxide nanoparticles provide unique benefits for multimodal strategies in cancer therapy. Exposure to an external
magnetic field causes the particles to generate local heat for hyperthermia treatment or
magnetic resonance contrast. Furthermore, chemotherapeutic drugs can be loaded onto the particles for protection from the environment during circulation and to cause the drugs to preferentially accumulate within the tumor to reduce systemic side effects. In this work, a phospholipid-PEG coated
iron oxide nanoparticle platform was developed that is capable of delivering a poorly soluble chemotherapeutic drug without affecting drug activity. Hyperthermia, when used in conjunction with drug delivery, was able to enhance cancer cell death, and the T2 relaxivity enabled visualization of the nanoparticle distribution within tumors using MRI. Influences of the phospholipid-PEG coating layer and
iron oxide core on each of these functions were studied by varying the PEG weight and core size. A PEG molecular weight of 2000 Da and a 40 nm core size enabled the highest recorded drug loading capacity, heat generation, and MR signal contrast for
iron oxide nanoparticles. These studies lay the foundation for the development of next generation multifunctional
magnetic nanoparticles as a novel tool for improving the future of cancer treatment.

▼ Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging imaging modality that specifically detects superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs). Our lab has shown that cell tracking with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has very high sensitivity, but low specificity and quantification of iron labeled cells is difficult. MPI cell tracking could overcome these limitations. A MomentumTM MPI system was installed at Robarts in August 2019 and this is the first project to be completed using MPI. In Chapter 2 a series of in vitro experiments are reported which tested the repeatability and reproducibility of imaging SPIO labeled cell samples. There are no reports of the use of micron-sized iron oxide particles (MPIO) for cell tracking by MPI. Therefore, in Chapter 3, MPIO was evaluated for in vivo detection and quantification of cancer cells in the mouse brain by MPI. In Chapter 4, limitations of these studies and plans for future work are discussed.

▼ Tapping thermal energy dissipated by
magnetic nanoparticles has been widely studied for biomedical applications. The heat generated is attributed to the
magnetic moment of nanoparticles that relax either by physical rotation of the particle (Brownian mechanism) or by internal rotation of the dipole (Neel mechanism). For maximizing heat dissipation, focus has been on tuning the anisotropy constant, optimizing the physical core size, and narrowing the polydispersity of the particles. The following work emphasizes on size-tunable synthesis of superparamagnetic
iron-
oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) with low polydispersity that relax by the Neel mechanism and improving their
magnetic cores for magnetically mediated energy delivery applications. Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) studies confirmed the formation of
iron oleate prepared using
iron acetylacetonate and oleic acid. An attempt to achieve controlled growth was carried out by a semi-batch thermal decomposition route with continuous precursor addition. Efforts have been carried out to understand the effect of precursor drip rate, reaction temperature and surfactant concentration on nanoparticle growth with time. The physical diameter obtained from Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) images, the hydrodynamic diameter from Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) measurements and the
magnetic measurements from Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) magnetometer gave evidence of the influence of varying reaction parameters on the rate of nucleation, growth and size focusing achieved during synthesis. Under an Alternating
Magnetic Field (AMF) of amplitude 37.3 kA/m and frequency 343 kHz, localized heating induced in the particles was evaluated. A maximum heating efficiency was observed, as quantified by Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) measurements for particles with a
magnetic core of 16 nm and physical diameter of 18 nm and that relaxed by the Neel mechanism. Though the SAR was found to peak and subsequently decrease as a function of size and relaxation time, high energy dissipation rates could not be achieved in some samples due to low yield of
magnetic diameter in comparison to their physical sizes. Low
magnetic diameters were due to the formation of undesirable oxides during synthesis. Ensuring transformation to magnetite or maghemite phase by thermal treatment after synthesis is envisioned to improve the
magnetic diameter, and thereby the heating efficiency. ( en )

▼ Theranostics is the ability to diagnose with greater
detail to disease properties and tailor specialized therapeutic
regiments to a patient's unique case. Advancements in nanoparticle
synthesis for controlled material properties and further
functionalization make the nano-scale materials promising
candidates as a theranostic platform for predictive medicine, early
detection, targeted therapy, and diagnostic monitoring. Here we
examine
iron oxide, gold-silver alloy, and gold-
iron oxide
dumbbell-like heterostructure nanoparticles for their combined
diagnostic and therapeutic application.
Iron oxide nanoparticles are used clinically as MRI contrast
agents and also provide a platform for functionalization and
further application of their
magnetic properties. We examine the
targeting of
iron oxide to tumor vasculature using the tumstatin
peptide in a three-dimensional in vitro tumor model and observe the
therapeutic heating abilities in an alternating
magnetic field.
Surface enhanced fluorescence from nano-sized metal materials
occurs through near-field coupling of the local electromagnetic
field. We focus on controlling the surface plasmon resonance of
AuAg alloy nanoparticles (AuAgNP) with a tunable method for
transferring energy with fluorescent proteins. We examine the
synthesis, surface modification, and localization of AuAgNPs to
protein targets. We use fluorescein isothiocyanate as a model
fluorophore to measure optimal energy transfer conditions. We
examine green fluorescent protein as a target protein fluorophore
for the protein model. Determination of alloy content, distance
control, and targeting abilities for enhanced fluorescence can
optimize current fluorescence imaging techniques and quantitative
assays with greater sensitivity.
Advanced hetero-structure nanoparticles offer added material
properties and chemical functionalization over single component
nanoparticles. We examine the controlled diagnostic and therapeutic
capabilities of the dumbbell-like hetero-structure of gold-
iron
oxide nanoparticles for targeted in vivo pancreatic cancer MRI
enhancement.

▼ Semiconductor
nanocrystals are actively explored as light harvesting materials for solar energy conversion and optoelectronic applications such as solar cells and light emitting diodes. The underlying processes in such systems include charge carrier generation, recombination, and transport. Defects influence these underlying processes by introducing energy levels inside the semiconductor bandgap that trap charge carriers. Despite their critical importance, the real space distribution of defect sites in semiconductor
nanocrystals is often unknown. Here we demonstrate an ensemble-level energy transfer measurement approach to study the radiative defect states in a size series of ZnO
nanocrystals. In this approach, ZnO defects that have energy levels inside the band gap engage in energy transfer with surface adsorbed AlexaFluor dye molecule acceptors. By quantifying the defect-mediated energy transfer efficiency as a function of nanocrystal size and reaction time, we determined that the radiative defect sites in ZnO are located between the nanocrystal core and surface (i.e., near surface sites) and the distance between the defect sites and the surface increases as the
nanocrystals grow larger. The all-optical energy transfer approach represents a non-destructive characterization method to determine the spatial distribution of defects in semiconductor
nanocrystals. The defect distributions can be correlated with optoelectronic or photocatalytic properties to elucidate structure/function relationships in a wide range of applications that involve light-matter interactions.

nanocrystals (NC) exhibit a localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) that falls in the near- to mid-IR range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike metal, the metal
oxide LSPR characteristics can be further tuned by doping, and structural control, or by in situ electrochemical or photochemical charging. Here, we illustrate how intrinsic NC attributes like its crystal structure, shape and size, along with band structure and surface properties affects the LSPR properties and its possible applications. First, the interplay of NC shape and the intrinsic crystal structure on the LSPR was studied using model systems of In:CdO and Cs:WO₃, the latter of which has an intrinsic anisotropic crystal structure. For both systems, a change of shape from spherical to faceted NCs led to as anticipated higher near field enhancements around the particle. However, with Cs:WO₃, presence of an anisotropic hexagonal crystal structure, leads to additional strong LSPR band-splitting into two distinct peaks with comparable intensities. Second, plasmon-molecular vibration coupling, as a proof of concept for sensing applications, was shown using newly developed F and Sn codoped In₂O₃ NCs to couple to the C-H vibration of surface-bound oleate ligands. A combined theoretical and experimental approach was employed to describe the observed plasmon-plasmon coupling, the influence of coupling strength and relative detuning between the molecular vibration and LSPR on the enhancement factor, and the observed Fano lineshape by deconvoluting the combined response of the LSPR and molecular vibration in transmission, absorption, and reflection. Third, plasmon modulation through dynamic carrier density tuning was investigated using thin films of monodisperse ITO NCs with various doping level and sizes along with an in situ electrochemical setup. From the combination of the in-situ spectroelectrochemical analysis and optical modeling, it was found that often-neglected semiconductor properties, such as band structure modification upon doping and surface chemistry, strongly affect the LSPR modulation behavior. The influence of band structure and effects like Fermi level pinning by surface defect states were shown to cause a surface depletion layer that alters the LSPR properties, namely the extent of LSPR modulation, near field enhancement, and sensitivity of the LSPR to the surrounding.

▼ The ability to measure structural and functional features of health and disease is limited by our current clinical imaging toolbox. For angiography, approximately 1-5 million people in the U.S. are not candidates for contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CE-MRA) because of renal malfunction. For cancer, it is difficult to predict the extent the enhanced permeability and retention (EPR) effect will be present leading to drug accumulation in tumors. Ferumoxytol has previously been used as a surrogate to assess nanoparticle accumulation, but negative contrast suffers from poor discrimination of nanoparticle localization. For neuroimaging, MRI is a powerful technique for probing the deep brain but can only provide semi-quantitative information. Cerebral blood volume (CBV) is an important indicator of tissue health and function, however current techniques are 15-30% inaccurate, and only the relative CBV is typically measured to assess function. Currently, only nuclear medicine provides an effective means of absolute quantification of contrast agent induced signal. However, the radioisotopes involved in these procedures are hazardous, and thus the use of nuclear medicine is not warranted for repeat structural and functional imaging.; Here we demonstrate a novel technique that can produce CE-MRAs using magnetic nanoparticles including the FDA approved super paramagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticle (SPION) ferumoxytol with very high Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR) in cardiovascular, cerebral, and tumor imaging in mice and rats. First, the technique is established and shown to measure clinically relevant concentrations of ferumoxytol with high fidelity range in mice. Next, a unique feature of the methodology to produce high-contrast images of purely T1-weighted signal is employed to unambiguously delineate nanoparticle accumulation in a PC3 subcutaneous tumor model with ferumoxytol accumulation 24 hours after just one dose. From this, contrast efficiency was produced compared to standard techniques with the additional benefit that pre-contrast images are not necessitated. Finally, we show unprecedented accuracy in measuring the CBV in absolute terms throughout the whole rat brain. We create a quantitative blood volume atlas and demonstrate that absolute functional measurements of CBV can be assessed by comparing the awake, CO2-challenged and anesthetized states. The method is anchored in theory and is compatible with existing clinical SPION formulations and scanners. Thus QUTE-CE shows high potential for quantitative imaging immediately applicable to human scans.

▼ The work presented in this PhD describes the use of highly magnetic iron oxide silica nanoparticles conjugated to herceptin for the targeted detection of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) positive breast cancer using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A promising use of nanoparticles is in medical imaging where iron oxide nanoparticles are increasingly being utilised in MRI as contrast agents for targeted imaging. Iron oxide particles have previously been used as contrast agents for imaging liver, spleen and gastrointestinal lumen in MRI. With advancements in nanoparticle technology, iron oxide nanoparticles that are less than 100 nm in diameter have been able to be synthesised which are capable of imaging specific diseases targeted with a biomarker. This advancement is a crucial development for medical imaging as it allows targeted imaging to be possible with MRI. An application of iron oxide nanoparticles for targeted imaging in MRI is in breast cancers that overexpress HER2 receptors which are associated with poor prognosis. A treatment option for HER2 positive tumours is Herceptin® (herceptin) therapy, which is known to eventually cause a reduction in tumour size. Although the response rates to herceptin therapy regimes are high, it is documented that patients acquire resistance after several months. The primary mechanism of herceptin resistance is unknown and there are varieties of pathways that have been proposed. Although there are research efforts to understand the myriad of molecular mechanisms related to herceptin resistance, it is also equally important to identify the patients who may be resistant to herceptin based therapy. A tool that can be used is to image HER2 positive breast tumours and potentially identify these patients using MRI and iron oxide nanoparticles conjugated to herceptin. There have been previous studies demonstrating that HER2 positive breast tumours can be targeted using iron oxide nanoparticles in MRI. Unfortunately, these studies do not meet all of the characteristics that are required to achieve targeted imaging in MRI. Due to this, iron oxide nanoparticles for targeted imaging in MRI have been limited in their translational capability to the clinic. Therefore, the aim of this PhD was to synthesise iron oxide nanoparticles for targeting HER2 positive tumours in vitro and in vivo. The main finding of this study was that iron oxide nanoparticles coated in silica can be used to detect HER2 positive breast cancers in vivo using MRI. The iron oxide silica nanoparticles produced presented with highly magnetic properties, superior to commercially available products, and were able to produce MRI contrast. The nanoparticles were also found to be non-toxic, biocompatible, stable and were easily conjugated to herceptin. The results from the in vitro and in vivo assessment of these iron oxide silica herceptin nanoparticles, demonstrated MRI contrast relative to HER2 expression levels in three human breast cancer cell lines and HER2 positive breast tumours.

▼ Tissue engineering, the combination of cells, scaffolding materials, and biochemical signals is being extensively researched for tissue generation and regeneration. The potential to generate tissue and organs can combat the limited availability of organ and tissue donors. To guarantee successful tissue engraftment, a sufficient availability of oxygen and nutrients must be provided. This can be done by adding angiogenic potential to therapy. The expansion of existing vasculature to site of repair can increase success rates of transplant and engraftment. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) can allow bone repair and regeneration and also secrete vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which plays an important role in blood vessel formation and endothelial cell recruitment. Hyaluronic acid hydrogels provide a 3D microenvironment that mimics in vivo conditions and enhances cell viability and function. Iron oxide magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been shown to maintain scaffold dexterity while also enhancing cell alignment, viability, and function. Curcumin is a naturally occurring protein that is being studied for wound healing and angiogenic properties. Curcumin coated iron oxide nanoparticles encapsulated in a hyaluronic acid hydrogel were evaluated in this thesis. The nanoparticles and magnetic hydrogel were synthesized and characterized. Cell adhesion and viability studies were performed with the materials, and post-culture media was evaluated for changes of VEGF release in samples with developed materials and controls. Results suggested the hyaluronic acid hydrogels and curcumin coated iron oxide nanoparticles allowed for enhanced cell adhesion and morphology, and increased the total amount of VEGF production by BMSCs.

▼ The capability of precisely controlling the kinetics of therapeutic delivery at the optimal location and rate for a given patient would have great potential to improve health and well-being in a range of current drug therapies (insulin, chemotherapeutics, vaccines, etc.). Indeed, if successfully developed, locally administered injectable drug delivery vehicles capable of remotely-triggered release would be the gold standard for many treatments.
Multiple injectable nanocomposites have been investigated for this purpose that are generally comprised of a thermosensitive polymeric material and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs). SPIONs generate heat when exposed remote alternating magnetic fields (AMFs), and the transfer of this heat to thermosensitive polymers can be used to control the release of therapeutics. Ideally, these systems would be capable of returning to their original state and basal release rate when the external AMF trigger is removed.
Several novel injectable nanocomposite materials that explore interactions between SPIONs and thermosensitive polymers to mediate drug release, from the macroscale to the nanoscale, were developed and demonstrated to be capable of remotely-triggered, AMF-mediated enhanced release. The macroscale magnetic nanocomposites have thermosensitive hydrogel and/or microgel components that regulate release based on the heat produced from SPIONs in response to an external AMF. On the millimeter-scale, a microinjection system capable of producing thermosensitive hydrogel beads that could potentially incorporate SPIONs is described. On the nanoscale, nanoparticles with a glass transition temperature and thermosensitive microgels are combined with SPIONs and investigated for their remote, AMF-mediated release characteristics. The engineered macroscale and nanoscale systems are capable of up to ~4:1 and ~7:1 enhancements in release due to an AMF application, respectively, compared to the basal release rate.
Collectively, these nanocomposites represent a promising stride towards improved remote-actuation of drug release and a stepping stone for future attempts at precisely controlling the site and kinetics of drug release.
Thesis
Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
This thesis focuses on the development of nanocomposite materials that can be injected into a specific location in the body and deliver therapeutic drugs by a remote-controlled process. These nanocomposites are composed of magnetic particles and polymers that respond to changes in temperature. The combination of these materials results in nanocomposites that can change their properties in response to specific magnetic fields to switch from releasing drug slowly (or not at all) to releasing drug quickly on demand. The changes are fully reversible and solely depend on whether the external magnetic field is switched on or off. These novel systems offer an alternative to therapies that require frequent injections, such as insulin for diabetes, or therapies that need the drug to be released in very…

▼ Biofilm formation on medical devices can cause persistent infections. The main feature of biofilms is their self-produced extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that act as a protective shield to prevent biocide penetration.
Iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), synthesized through a simple process, were used as “shield breakers” to damage the biofilm matrix and cause biofilm detachment. The Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) strain was used to demonstrate the efficacy of MNPs. The highest logarithmic reduction (4.71 log) of S. aureus biofilm was achieved after treatment with 30 mg/mL of 11 nm MNPs under rotating
magnetic field for 15 minutes. MNPs caused strong mechanical disruption to the matrix and led to biofilm dispersal. Both alternating and rotating
magnetic fields improved the effect of MNPs on biofilm damage. The increased MNPs solution temperature produces by hyperthermic effect in the AC field while the MNPs caused physical damage on biofilms in rotating
magnetic field.

▼ Le diagnostic moléculaire est un diagnostic basé sur l’analyse des acides nucléiques nécessite incontestablement la préparation d’échantillon. Cette préparation à pour objectif d’extraire des acides nucléiques d’un milieu généralement très complexe, de les purifier, de les concentrer voir les transporter dans des microsystèmes utilisés comme outils de diagnostic. Aujourd’hui, l’utilisation de nouvelles technologies et en particulier l’utilisation de supports solides ont permis de palier à un grand nombre de problèmes comparé aux méthodes conventionnelles. L’évolution de ces supports solides en particules colloïdales a permis de répondre à la demande des nouvelles technologies en apportant, une grande surface spécifique, une séparation rapide suite au caractère magnétique, un transport simple dans les microsystèmes et une chimie de surface modulable pour une bonne extraction de l’analyte recherchée. Ainsi, l’objet de cette étude est la synthèse de la silice magnétique submicronique en taille pour l’extraction des acides nucléiques. La synthèse de la silice magnétique a été conduite en trois étapes. Dans un premier temps, la synthèse de ferrofluide organique a été réalisée par coprécipitation des chlorures ferriques et ferreux en basic avant transfert en milieu organique. La deuxième étape a été la préparation d’émulsions magnétiques stables, fortement magnétiques (pour une séparation rapide) et de taille relativement homogène et reproductible. Le ferrofluide préparé organique préparé a été émulsionné pour préparer une émulsion huile dans l’eau (O/W) en utilisant un tensioactif anionique. L’émulsion magnétique a été ensuite encapsulée par une écorce de silice via le procédé sol-gel. Le procédé d’encapsulation a été optimisé via une étude systématique et par une caractérisation physicochimie et colloïdale complète de particules. La caractérisation morphologique des particules obtenues a montré une structure coeur magnétique et une écorce de silice parfaitement homogène. Ces particules de silice magnétique ont été utilisées pour étudier l’adsorption des acides nucléiques (fragment d’ADN) en fonction du pH et de la salinité. Les résultats montrent une bonne capacité d’adsorption des acides nucléiques et également un bon relargage. Ce résultat encourageant montre que ces particules peuvent être utilisées dans le diagnostic moléculaire où l’extraction, la purification et la concentration des acides nucléiques sont très recherchées
Currently, the genetics and DNA-based applications are developing very vast. All these applications such as gene therapy, diagnosis and PCR (polymerase chain reaction) require a previous step, which is the isolation and purification of genetic materials from their compartment. Taking care that the extraction method should produce the DNA in high purification state and in good conditions. The DNA extraction and purification are well known from long time ago, but these methods are time and organic solvents consuming. Nowadays, new nanotechnology-based techniques allow establishing rapid,…

▼ The aim of this Ph.D thesis is the development of new nanometric compounds that could find possible theranostic applications in the field of nanomedicine. To this end different multimodal agents, based on
magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles or poly(amidoamine)s were synthesized and characterized.
To this aim we first synthesized a new luminescent metallopolymer for photodynamic therapy (PDT), based on an amphoteric and biocompatible polyamidoamine, PhenISA, to which a new organometallic Ir complex was conjugated. This polymer was able to self-assemble into nanoparticle while the Ir complex could, upon light absorption, give rise to triplet metal to ligand charge transfer excited states that can both radiatively decay, providing optical luminescence, or react with 3O2, producing cytotoxic reactive oxygen species, allowing for both imaging and PDT applications. These properties were tested by cell uptake assays and prelaminar cytotoxicity studies. Poly(amidoamine)s functionalized with different metal complexes (namely Ru and Pt) were also investigated (Chapter 1).
We then prepared a new magneto-optical probes and sensitizers for photodynamic therapy. This bimodal probe was constituted by a
magnetic iron oxide core and a silica shell grafted with a luminescent Re complex, acting as both optical emitter and PDT sensitizer. The silica shell was also coated by a poly(ethyleneglycol) layer to reduce the toxicity and improve the colloidal stability of the nanoprobe. The nanocomposite photophysical properties were then tested, and the cellular uptake and light-activated cytotoxicity were subsequently characterized on HeLa cells (Chapter 2).
As a next work we presented a new strategy to bind peptide nucleic acids (PNA) onto the surface of
iron oxide nanoparticles, that could find future application in combining the nanoparticle
magnetic properties with the PNA specific targeting ability. Two different synthetic pathways were investigated, and an extensive
magnetic characterization was performed to check for any influence of the conjugation strategy on the nanoparticles initial
magnetic properties (Chapter 3).
During my abroad period in EMPA St.gallen (CH) I worked on the possible application of
magnetic nanoparticle for blood purification applications. We first developed a proof of concept study on the theranostic potential of
magnetic blood purification applied to sepsis using. Bacterial removal could not only directly improve the condition of sepsis-ill patients but also help in decreasing the time needed for effective diagnosis and treatment. To this end we used commercial
magnetic nanoparticles functionalized with newly developed human IgG1 monoclonal antibody against poly-N-acetylglucosamine (PNAG), a key component of the bacterial cell wall. We investigated both the nanoparticles
magnetic separation efficiency and degradation properties, as well as their biocompatibility and bacteria removal capability (Chapter 4).
We then synthesized hydrophobic
iron oxide and
iron carbide nanoparticles that were subjected to…
