▼ Delivery of bioactive proteins is a valuable strategy in cartilage tissue engineering (CTE) because of their ability to regulate the gene expression and extracellular matrix (ECM) production of engineered cartilage. This, however, has been challenged by the nature of bioactive proteins including their instability, poor tissue penetration ability, short half-life and a relatively high price. Development of
nanospheres as a protein delivery device should solve these issues by promoting the temporal and spatial presentation of such bioactive proteins in a defined target for the enhanced half-life time and effectiveness. Among various polymer-based micro/
nanospheres, alginate micro/
nanospheres have been widely used as a protein delivery device because of their mild and easy protein encapsulation process, inert nature, non-toxicity and biocompatibility. However, one of the major limitations of using alginate as a protein delivery device is its high initial burst release due to its high porosity and instability if exposed in a higher pH release media. To address these issues, this study aimed to develop the protein loaded alginate
nanospheres as a delivery device with a reduced initial burst release. The hypothesis was, “Increasing the alginate concentration, cross-linking time or drying time reduces the initial burst release independently of associated changes to the size and number of
nanospheres.” Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) was used as a model protein in this study to evaluate the performance of alginate
nanospheres as a protein delivery device, while protein loaded alginate
nanospheres were prepared via a combination of water-in-oil emulsification and external gelation method. The process parameters tested to reduce the initial burst release include, alginate concentration, cross-linking time and drying time. The effects of these process parameters on the nanosphere size and distribution pattern, relative number of microspheres, initial burst release, protein release kinetics and encapsulation efficiency (EE%) were investigated. Also, if the change in size and relative number of
nanospheres by varying these process parameters affected the initial burst release was investigated. It has been illustrated that by properly increasing the alginate concentration, cross-linking time and drying time it was possible to reduce initial burst release by 13%, and among various process parameters only the alginate concentration showed a significant effect on the initial burst release, when considered alone. Also, it was confirmed that during determination of the effect of various process parameters the relative number of
nanospheres significantly affected the initial burst release. Taken together, this study demonstrates that regulating various process parameters is a mean to reduce initial burst release of alginate
nanospheres, urging more studies on alginate
nanospheres for their potential application in CTE.

▼ In this thesis, original theoretical and numerical investigations into the interaction of light with excitonic nanostructures are presented, in a bid to demonstrate that excitonic nanostructures are viable alternatives to the use of plasmonic nanostructures where electric field enhancement and confinement are sought. In particular, the field enhancement and confinement around excitonic nanostructures on resonance is shown to be comparable if not in excess of that around noble metal nanoparticles such as gold and silver. These excitonic modes, when set in the context of a core-shell geometry, are shown to offer tunability through nanoparticle design and through the index of the environment. In addition, hybrid `hyperbolic' and `plexcitonic' modes are shown to offer similar properties in metallic-excitonic nanostructures. Altogether, these excitonic and hybrid excitonic modes are shown to have potential in nanophotonic applications.

▼ Graphene plays important roles in technological developments regarding electronic device, environment and energy management and the motivation to prepare two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials. As the pioneer for 2D nanomaterials, graphene has been shown to be not only thermodynamically stable, but also superior in terms of electronic and mechanical properties and that it can be processed into a wide variety of novel materials. However, they are still limited to the challenges such as multi-stacked layers and low efficiency towards a scalable and cost-effective manufacturing process. In this dissertation, we develop an aqueous arc discharge process as a novel method to produce graphene. This novel graphene production process has the following features: (1) Low energy power consumption process to exfoliate graphene from graphite rather than to evaporate carbon molecules. (2) Water used as a dielectric medium uses a coolant to maintain the temperature during the process. (3) Controllable graphene layers and the number of oxygen-related functional groups. (4) A seamless process for morphological transition of graphene from 2D to three-dimensional (3D) construction.The graphene produced by our aqueous arc discharge is investigated as transparent electrodes and water desalination membranes. For the transparent electrodes, bi- and trilayers of graphene are adopted to be at high electrical conductance and transmittance, which are collected by vacuum-assisted filtration and then transferred to a flexible transparent polymer films. In the case of the application for water desalination, the effect of the degree of graphene oxidation is investigated and found that the affinity of 2D nanochannels to water molecules and ions affected to the flow rate and salt rejection rate due to the interfacial friction at the interface. The seamless process of the aqueous arc discharge has been achieved to crumple 2D graphene into 3D graphene nanospheres with the controllable degree of crumpling of graphene. The formation of oil-in-water emulsion during arc discharge can entrap and crumple the exfoliated graphene, simultaneously. The degree of graphene deformation can be controlled by adjusting the flow rate of oil into the plasma zone.

▼ Nanofabrication techniques continue to advance and are rapidly becoming the primary route to enhancement for the electrical, thermal, and optical properties of materials. The work presented in this dissertation details fabrication and characterization techniques of thin films and nanoparticles for these purposes. The four primary areas of research presented here are thermoelectric enhancement through nanostructured thin films, an alternative frequency-domain thermoreflectance method for thin film thermal conductivity measurement, thermal rectification in nanodendritic porous silicon, and plasmonic enhancement in silver nanospheroids as a reverse photolithography technique.
Nanostructured thermoelectrics have been proposed to greatly increase thermopower efficiency and to bring thermoelectrics to mainstream power generation and cooling applications. In our work, thermoelectric thin films of SbTe, BiTe, and PbTe grown by atomic layer deposition and electrochemical atomic layer deposition were characterized for enhanced performance over corresponding bulk materials. Seebeck coefficient measurements were performed at temperatures ranging from 77 K to 380 K. Atomic composition was verified by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and structures were imaged by scanning electron microscopy. All thin films measured were ultimately found to have a comparable or smaller Seebeck coefficient to corresponding materials made by conventional techniques, likely due to issues with the growth process.
Frequency-domain thermoreflectance offers a minimally invasive optical pump-probe technique for measuring thermal conductivity. Like time-domain thermoreflectance, the version of frequency-domain thermoreflectance demonstrated here relies on a non-zero thermo-optic coefficient in the sample, but uses moderate cost continuous wave lasers modulated at kHz or MHz frequencies rather than a more expensive ultrafast laser system. The longer timescales of these frequency ranges enables this technique to take measurements of films with thicknesses ranging from 100 nm to 10 um, complimentary to time-domain thermoreflectance. This method differentiates itself from other frequency-domain methods in that it is also capable of simultaneous independent measurements of both the in plane and out of plane values of the thermal conductivity in anisotropic samples through relative reflective magnitude, rather than phase, measurements. We validated this alternate technique by measuring the thermal conductivity of Al2O3 and soda-lime and found agreement both with literature values and with separate measurements obtained with a conventional time-domain thermoreflectance setup.
Thermal rectification has the potential to enhance microcircuit performance, improve thermoelectric efficiency, and enable the creation of thermal logic circuits. Passive thermal rectification has been proposed to occur in geometrically asymmetric nanostructures when heat conduction is dominated by ballistic phonons. Here, nanodendritic structures with branch widths of ~ 10 nm and…

▼ The overarching objective of the investigations discussed herein is the development of a model experimental system for surface-enhanced infrared absorption (SEIRA) spectroscopy, with potential applicability in higher order infrared spectroscopic techniques, specifically, surface-enhanced two-dimensional infrared (SE-2D IR) spectroscopy.
Theoretical predictions that accurately predict the stability of functionalized nanoparticles enable guided design of their properties but are often limited by the accuracy of the parameters used as model inputs. Hence, first, such parameterization limitations for the extended DLVO (xDLVO) theory are overcome using a size-dependent Hamaker constant for gold, interfacial surface potentials, and tilt angles of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), which collectively improves the predictive power of xDLVO theory for modeling nanoparticle stability. Measurements of electrical properties of functionalized gold nanoparticles validate the predictions of xDLVO theory using these new parameterizations illustrating the potential for this approach to improve the design and control of the properties of functionalized gold nanoparticles in various applications.
Next, a series of experiments were conducted to elucidate the behavior of various infrared active molecules in the presence of spherical gold nanoparticles of average diameter ∼20 nm. Here, the spectroscopic anomalies, specifically the shifted vibrational frequency and the dispersive lineshape observed in the infrared spectra for SCN- in the presence of gold nanoparticles provide direct evidence of SIERA.
Nevertheless, it was evidenced that nanomaterial with plasmonic properties that extends into the infrared wavelengths are imperative in observing efficient infrared enhancements. Hence, nanomaterial indicating plasmonic properties extending into the infrared wavelengths were synthesized via a straightforward, seedless, one-pot synthesis. The gold nanostars prepared here indicated plasmonic behavior clearly extending into the near infrared, with simple plasmonic tunability via changing the buffer concentration used during synthesis.
The systematic understanding achieved here in terms of theoretical prediction of nanoparticle stability, origin of infrared spectral anomalies in the presence of nanomaterials, and the preparation of infrared plasmonic material, collectively provides a resilient framework for the further investigation of surface-enhanced infrared spectroscopic techniques including SEIRA and SE-2D IR spectroscopies.

▼ A multi-scale approach was used to investigate the occurrence and physical characteristics of viral surrogates in water systems. This approach resulted in a methodology to quantify the dynamics and physical parameters of viral surrogates, including bacteriophages and nanoparticles. Physical parameters impacting the occurrence and survival of viruses can be incorporated into models that predict the levels of viral contamination in specific types of water. Multiple full-scale water systems (U.S., Italy and Australia) were tested including surface water, drinking water, stormwater and wastewater systems. Water quality parameters assessed included viral markers (TTV, polyomavirus, microviridae and adenovirus), bacteriophages (MS2 and ΦX-174), and coliforms (total coliforms and E. coli). In this study, the lack of correlations between adenovirus and that of bacterial indicators suggests that these bacterial indicators are not suitable as indicators of viral contamination. In the wastewater samples, microviridae were correlated to the adenovirus, polyomavirus, and TTV. While TTV may have some qualities which are consistent with an indicator such as physical similarity to enteric viruses and occurrence in populations worldwide, the use of TTV as an indicator may be limited as a result of the detection occurrence. The limitations of TTV may impede further analysis and other makers such as coliphages, and microviridae may be easier to study in the near future. Batch scale adsorption tests were conducted. Protein-coated latex
nanospheres were used to model bacteriophages (MS2 and ΦX-174) and includes a comparison of the zeta potentials in lab water, and two artificial groundwaters with monovalent and divalent electrolytes. This research shows that protein-coated particles have higher average log10 removals than uncoated particles. Although, the method of fluorescently labeling nanoparticles may not provide consistent data at the nanoscale. The results show both that research on viruses at any scale can be difficult and that new methodologies are needed to analyze virus characteristics in water systems. A new dynamic light scattering methodology, area recorded generalized optical scattering (ARGOS) method, was developed for observing the dynamics of nanoparticles, including bacteriophages MS2 and ΦX-174. This method should be further utilized to predict virus fate and transport in environmental systems and through treatment processes. While the concentration of MS2 is higher than ΦX-174 as demonstrated by relative total intensity, the RMSD shows that the dynamics are greater and have more variation in ΦX-174 than MS2 and this may be a result of the hydrophobic nature of ΦX-174. Relationships such as these should be further explored, and may reflect relationships such as particle bonds or hydrophobicity.

▼ During recent decades metallic nanoparticles have been found very interesting due to their unique characteristics which make them suitable for different applications. In this research, for the very first time, we tried to perform selective surface photo activation chemistry on the targeted facets of nanoparticles while they are in suspension. This technique enabled us to form desired assemblies of nanoparticles. We focused on elongated shaped gold nanorod due to its unique surface plasmon resonance and probable biomedical applications. In this research we formed a dumbbell shape assembly of nanoparticles in suspension. A probable application for these assemblies can be in vivo imaging. Initially, we reproduced gold nanorods using existing techniques in prior papers and optimized them according to our research needs. A low rpm centrifugal separation technique was developed to efficiently separate synthesized gold nanorods from other shapes. Several characterization techniques were utilized to characterize nanoparticles at each step including UV-absorbance, zeta potential, and dynamic light scattering. Different generations of oligomers were synthesized to be used as gold nanorods coating, and each coating was tested and characterized using appropriate techniques. Our two-step coating replacement method using one of these photocleavable oligomers enabled us to achieve, for the very first time, selective UV photo activation of gold nanorod tips. The photo activated tips were then exposed to oppositely charged gold
nanospheres to form dumbbell shape assemblies of gold nanorods and
nanospheres. Furthermore, dumbbell shape assembly of nanoparticles was investigated and characterized.

▼ Layer-by-layer assembly (LbL) is emerging as a key
nano manufacturing technique that is finding a broad range of
applications. It is a versatile and simple, allowing the
realization of novel nanometer-scale multi-layered materials and
structures that can be made to have highly desirable properties.
Despite such long-standing use, LbL assembly of carbon
nanoparticles for conductive coating applications has rarely been
explored. In this work, three-dimensional nanostructure evolution
and adsorption kinetics during carbon nanoparticle LbL assembly are
investigated for thin film coating applications that require high
through-plane electrical conductivity. Two types of nanoparticles
are evaluated: 5-10 nm thick stacks of graphene sheets and 20 nm
diameter amorphous carbon spheres. Electrostatic interactions
between the carbon nanoparticles and a cationic polyacrylamide
binder are systematically altered by varying the carbon
nanoparticle suspending media composition according to the Gouy
Chapman Theory. Electrostatic interactions are quantified with zeta
potential measurements. Suspension pH is used to control the
nanoparticle surface charge density through dissociation of
hydrolyzed surface groups while the addition of alcohol is used to
enhance electrostatic interactions by altering the dielectric
constant of the medium. Alcohol and pH are found to have opposing
effects with respect to the packing density and through-plane
conductivity of the structures formed for both types of
nanoparticles. Such behavior is ascribed to steric effects
associated with the heterogeneous dispersion of weakly acidic
functional groups on the hydrolyzed carbon nanoparticle surface.
Complete dissociation of these groups in the absence of alcohol
yields densely packed structures with as much as 40 percent
reduction in through-plane conductivity relative to coatings with a
greater degree of carbon nanoparticle aggregation and more porous
structures. The more densely packed structures involve fewer direct
interactions and instead more carbon interactions with the
electrically insulating polyelectrolyte binder, yielding the more
rapid substrate surface saturation and the higher contact
resistance observed. This work was able to establish the LbL
process conditions under which carbon coatings sufficiently
conductive for a broad range of applications could be produced:
from ESD applications to fuel cell biplar plate.Carbon nanoplatelet
adsorption kinetics was modeled using the Michaelis-Menten (M-M)
mechanism, where long-range interaction of the surface with the
nanoparticles was hypothesized to yield a reversibly bound species
that, with sufficiently strong substrate-adsorbate attraction could
become irreversibly bound and thereby incorporated into the LbL
assembled structure. Linear irreversible carbon nanoplatelet uptake
versus time was observed when electrostatic attraction between the
substrate and adsorbate was minimal, consistent with the M-M
prediction when irreversible adsorption is rate-limiting due to
generally weak substrate-adsorbate…

▼ Abstract: In this work we investigate polymeric systems transporting violacein, substance of pharmacological interest, more specifically antitumoral, obtained from the biosynthesis of Chromobacterium violaceum. However, violacein is an insoluble compound in water and as a consequence introduces toxicity and low bioavailability, justifying the entrappment. Microspheres (PCL) were obtained according to well-known principles of obtainment and stabilization of colloidal systems, by the solvent evaporation method and
nanospheres (PLGA) were obtained by "nanoprecipitation method" (phase separation). These systems were characterized regarding the physical-chemistry properties by optical, fluorescence and laser confocal microscopies, scanning electronic microscopy, transmission electronic microscopy, diameter distribution, zeta potencial and interfacial tension. Violacein entrapped in
nanospheres promoted citotoxicity, cellular differentiation and apoptosis in leukaemia promyelocytic human HL60 cell line and fibroblasts V-79. Violacein in PCL microspheres is present in two forms: isolated and auto-associated, distributed along the particle and there is emission in diluted solution and when dispersed in the polymeric matrix The nanoparticulated system is cytotoxic for HL60, induces apoptosis (verified by transmembrane potential measures) and induces cellular differentiation. Inhibition of the mitochondrial swelling occurrence is caused by Pluronic membrane sealing capability to mitochondrial membrane, suggesting the direction to a specific target of the cell.

▼ On the nanoscale, size and structure are powerful dictators of optical and electronic response. As such, they may be rationally manipulated in order to obtain desired properties for specific applications. The dissertation projects herein are aimed toward understanding how structure affects the photophysical properties of three nanoparticle systems: hollow gold nanospheres (HGNs), doped α-Fe2O3 nanostructures, and PbS/CdS core/shell quantum dots (QDs). The dissertation is divided into two parts: Part I: The Highly Tunable Hollow Gold Nanosphere: Synthesis, Size, and Surface Morphology and Part II: Ultrafast Charge Carrier Dynamics of Hematite Nanostructures and PbS/CdS Quantum DotsPart I focuses on synthetic control and characterization of HGNs, solvent-filled plasmonic shells of gold ranging from 20-200 nm in diameter. HGNs have shown promising performance in drug loading, targeted delivery, surface-enhanced Raman scattering, and photothermal therapy. Their optical properties are very sensitive to their aspect ratio, the ratio of diameter to shell thickness. As such, a well-controlled synthesis is highly desired. In Chapter 1, the HGN synthesis was updated to enable simultaneous control of both diameter and SPR while maintaining monodispersity and uniformity of the resultant shells. This was possible through a detailed and systematic investigation of the synthesis of the sacrificial cobalt-based scaffolds onto which HGNs are formed through galvanic exchange.In Chapter 2, additional synthetic adjustments were introduced to systematically control the HGN surface morphology from smooth to very bumpy. Rugose structures are perhaps the most versatile nanoparticles, with an increased density of active sites for catalysis as well as local electric field enhancement around the surface features for sensing and detection. As hollow particles have displayed enhanced plasmonic performance in comparison with their solid counterparts for a number of applications, the combination of hollow cores and rugose surfaces is highly attractive. One of the most attractive applications of HGNs is plasmonic photothermal therapy (PTT). In this application, plasmonic nanoparticles are targeted to cancer cells where they convert incident light to heat, raising the temperature of their environment above the point of cell viability. A systematic comparison of HGNs with different surface morphologies revealed that bumpy HGNs retain the excellent photothermal conversion efficiency (PCE) of their smooth counterparts. Next, in Chapter 3, PCE was investigated for HGNs of different diameters, theoretically and experimentally. The findings revealed that 50 nm HGNs generate ~2 times the heat per µg gold as their 70 nm counterparts and ~1.5 times the heat per µg gold as their 30 nm counterparts. In vitro HGN-mediated PTT of oral squamous cell carcinoma was also carried out. Ongoing efforts are needed to assess the PCE and potential size dependence of HGNs in vitro and in vivo.In Part II, transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) is used to probe the charge…

▼ Viruses are uniquely equipped to insert their genome
into cells, which is due partly to their ability to transport
across cellular membranes and to escape from endosomes. The primary
disadvantage of using viruses for gene therapy is that they elicit
severe immune responses. Therefore, we have formulated
nanospheres
by blending chitosan grafted with polyethylene glycol (PEG-g-CHN)
and linear poly-ethylenimine (LPEI) conjugated to DNA with
L-tyrosine-polyphosphate (LTP). PEG-g-CHN enhances nanosphere
biocompatibility, since PEG has been shown to prevent protein
adsorption. LPEI protects DNA from shearing during nanosphere
formation, provides a route of escape from endosomes, and enhances
transfection. Previous studies show that LTP degrades within 7
days, which provides an appropriate time frame for intracellular
release. These
nanospheres are prepared by sonication of oil and
water emulsion and solvent evaporation. Scanning electron
microscopy and laser light scattering (LLS) show a nanosphere
diameter distribution between 200 to 600 nm. Also, LLS shows that
nanospheres are completely degraded after 7 days. A sustained
release over 7 days of DNA-LPEI from
nanospheres is revealed in gel
electrophoresis and transfection studies. Furthermore, the
viability of the
nanospheres is shown to be comparable to DNA alone
from a LIVE/DEAD® cell assay. In addition, confocal microscopy
reveals nanosphere uptake within human fibroblasts. Ultimately, a
controllable transfection of human fibroblasts over 11 days by
nanospheres is shown from X-gal staining. This controllable
transfection is sustained longer than DNA-LPEI and DNA-FuGENE 6, a
commercial transfection reagent. Therefore, our nanosphere
formulations enhance transfection compared to FuGENE 6 and DNA
alone, exhibit a controlled release and transfection, and can be
used as a non-viral vector that overcomes the barriers of gene
therapy.

▼ O fluxo de injeção e o solvente orgânico, utilizado no preparo de nanoesferas poliméricas, são parâmetros experimentais que controlam o diâmetro e a distribuição de diâmetro das nanopartículas, formadas pelo processo conhecido como nucleação. Considerando as nanocápsulas de núcleo lipídico, formadas pelo processo de auto-organização, estes parâmetros experimentais ainda não foram explorados. Assim, esse trabalho propõe avaliar o fluxo de injeção e o solvente orgânico na preparação destas suspensões aquosas, caracterizando físicoquimicamente estes sistemas. Para variação de fluxo de injeção, utilizou-se uma bomba peristáltica, sendo possível a avaliação dos seguintes fluxos: 5, 8, 12, 15, 21 e 38 mL min¯¹. O diâmetro das nanocápsulas diminuiu de 256±9 nm a 127 ±8 nm pela técnica de difração de laser e 220±9 nm a 124±13 nm, segundo a técnica de espectroscopia de correlação de fótons. Os solventes orgânicos avaliados foram a acetona, acetonitrila e 1,4-Dioxano. Observou-se que a acetonitrila se mostrou adequada para a condição previamente otimizada com acetona, ao passo que o 1,4-Dioxano apresentou um pico micrométrico em sua distribuição. Assim, foi possível modelar este estudo através de um fatorial de design 2², onde têm-se dois fatores, fluxo de injeção e solvente orgânico, em dois níveis, nos fluxos de 5 e 38 mL min¯¹ e considerando os solventes acetona e acetonitrila. Como resultado, viu-se que o fluxo de injeção é o parâmetro de maior influência na preparação destas suspensões aquosas, se comparado ao solvente orgânico selecionado. Para elucidar o papel do solvente orgânico na preparação destes sistemas, calculouse os parâmetros de solubilidade e os coeficientes de difusão solvente orgânico\água e água\solvente orgânico para os três pares avaliados neste trabalho. Viu-se que os parâmetros de solubilidade e os coeficientes de difusão solvente orgânico\água explicam a não variação do diâmetro de partícula em função do solvente orgânico. Ainda, realizou-se um estudo de viscosidade, em função do log [PCL], para fases orgânicas preparadas com acetonitrila e 1,4- dioxano. Obteve-se o valor de 2,30 mg mL¯¹ para a concentração de agregação crítica quando utilizado o 1,4-Dioxano e 10,47 mg mL¯¹ para a fase orgânica preparada com acetonitrila. Então, pode-se dizer que este valor elevado encontrado para a acetonitrila é uma vantagem de sua utilização, uma vez que as características nanoscópicas são mantidas e um maior número de partículas pode ser formado.
Flow rate and organic solvent, used to prepare polimeric nanospheres, are experimental parameters that control the size and the size distribution curves of these nanoparticles, formed by particle nucleation. Considering the lipid core nanocapsules, formed by self-assembled process, these experimental parameters are not evaluated yet. Considering those, this work proposes to evaluate the flow rate and the organic solvent in the preparation of these aqueous suspensions, characterizing them physicochemically. To change the flow rate, it was used a peristaltic pump, it…

▼ Recently the study of biomaterials has moved in two directions, the evolution of drug deliverysystems and of systems that can stimulate specific cellular responses. Our investigation aims tothe study of drug delivery systems for bone cancer therapy. These systems must fulfill twoimportant functionalities. At first, they should be able to deliver drug molecules to bone cancerenvironment through loading or surface conjugation and subsequently to cause osteogenesis.Their second functionality is especially important since it leads to substitution of bone defectscaused from the action of cancer cells. Bioactive glasses are of great advantage because of theirability to form hydroxyapatite and to bond to bone tissue after implantation. However,compared to bioglasses, bioactive nanospheres offer quite interesting advantages due to theirenhanced properties in drug delivery and their ability to seal bone defects of irregulargeometry.For this purpose in the present thesis characteristic bioactive glassy structures are studied inorder to investigate their conversion to nanoscale structures for further application in drugdelivery as target agents in bone cancer. Of great importance is the investigation of the role ofphosphorus in osteogenesis. Therefore, the ex vitro study of local phosphorous environment in45S5 bioglasses is studied through 31P MAS NMR and 1H-31P CP MAS NMR experiments.The nearly identical NMR spectra obtained by cross-polarization verified that the 31Penvironments and its SBF induced surface layers consist of water molecules and OH groupswhich are probably primarily associated with the a-CaP surface layer and secondly with theCaP components of the bioglasses. Moreover, the confirmed presence of a-CaP surface layerwas observed through the full width at half-maximum height which is significantly broaderthan that presented by nano-crystalline HCA and is typical for an amorphous orthophosphatephase. The obtained information proved the important contribution of the phosphorousenvironment from the first stage of apatite formation, the presence of which results inenhanced contribution to HCA formation and subsequent osteogenesis.Furthermore, the ability of the glassy network to deliver drug molecules was studied. For thispurpose, expanded ex vitro research was followed in DOX conjugated pH-sensitivefunctionalized silica xerogels. Specifically, silica xerogels were synthesized through a sol-gelprocess and further functionalized with carbodiimide chemistry. The functionalization processresulted in pH-sensitive dextran hydrogels. The anticancer drug DOX was bounded on thefunctionalized xerogel by a second stage of EDC coupling. Moreover the bioactivities of thefunctionalized xerogels in connection to release studies in acidic and neutral pH were alsofollowed. According to the SBF study, flake-like apatite formations were observed after 7 daysof treatment. The release of the DOX through an acidic treatment can possibly be attributed toan acidic sensitive esteric bond formation. Consequently, the above organically modified…

▼ Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of the association of local administration of
nanospheres loading doxycycline (DOX) with the periodontal debridement treating advanced chronic periodontitis.
Nanospheres were made by double-emulsion method (W/O/W) and characterized regarding morphology, by scaning eléctron microscopy (SEM); and drug/polymer interaction, by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The DOX controlled release was assessed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples collected 2, 5, 7, 10, 15 and 20 days after treatment. It was performed randomized double-blinded clinical trial, with thirty patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis presenting at least seven sites with bleeding on probing and probing depth (PD) ? 5 mm, and 2 sites with PD ? 7 mm. The patients were randomly allocated in two groups receiving interventions as followed: 45 minutes periodontal debridement + subgengival
nanospheres loading DOX (DB+DOX); and 45 minutes periodontal debridement + subgengival void
nanospheres (DB). Plaque index (IP), bleeding on probing (BP), probing depth (PD) and clinical attachment level (CAL) were evaluated on baseline, 3, and 6 months after therapy. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (real-time PCR) was used to quantify Porphyromonas gingivalis, Tannerella forsythia, Treponema denticola, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans and Prevotella intermedia from subgingival biofilm samples collected on baseline, 1, 3 and 6 months after treatment. The results were compared by variance analyses test for repeated measures, with significance of 5%.
Nanospheres varying from 700 nm to 4 um were obtained. There was a good interaction between DOX and PLGA, with no chemical properties alterations. After local administration of the
nanospheres, it was observed constant DOX release in the GCF until 20th day post-treatment, with concentration above the minimum inhibitory concentration. DB+DOX group showed significant PD reduction and CAL gain in deep and moderates pockets comparing to baseline and between groups. It was observed significant reduction of bacteria levels along follow up period, and DB+DOX group was more eficiente in keeping lower levels of bacteria after 6 months from treatment. Within limitations of this study, the results can suggest that PLGA
nanospheres are effective carriers for controlled release of DOX and when used adjunctively to periodontal debridement, improved results can be achieved compared to mechanical therapy alone

▼ Nos últimos anos, os compostos orgânicos de selênio têm sido alvos de interesse em síntese orgânica em virtude da descoberta de suas aplicações sintéticas e de suas propriedades farmacológicas. O disseleneto de difenila (PhSe)2 é um composto orgânico de selênio que apresenta diversos efeitos farmacológicos descritos, porém a pouca solubilidade em água e baixa biodisponibilidade oral podem ser um limite para seu uso clínico. Nanopartículas poliméricas vem sendo um importante modelo para o carreamento de fármacos, apresentando vantagens como maior biodisponibilidade, direcionamento a sítios específicos e possibilidade de encapsulamento de compostos lipofílicos de maneira bastante eficiente. Tendo em vista a busca pelo desenvolvimento de um sistema de controle da liberação de fármacos, este trabalho teve como objetivo preparar nanoesferas e nanocápsulas de (PhSe)2 através do método de deposição interfacial do polímero pré-formado utilizando diferentes óleos (miglyol, óleo de canola e ômega-3) como como núcleo oleoso. As nanocápsulas foram caracterizadas através da medida do pH, tamanho médio de partícula, índice de polidispersão, potencial zeta, taxa de associação e doseamento do (PhSe)2. Os resultados das formulações desenvolvidas apresentaram uma distribuição do tamanho de partícula com um índice de polidispersão de até 0,2; diâmetro médio inferior a 330 nm; o potencial zeta foi superior a -16 mV, onde a taxa de encapsulamento encontrada foi de 99,9% para todas as formulações desenvolvidas. Os ensaios biológicos feitos em camundongos com as nanocápsulas de (PhSe)2 contendo óleo de canola como núcleo oleoso mostraram maior biodisponibilidade das nanocápsulas de (PhSe)2 em comparação com o (PhSe)2 livre, mostrando uma proeminente influencia dos sistemas nanoparticulados nas propriedades biológicas de compostos organocalcogênio.
In last years, selenium organic compounds of selenium have been targets of interest in organic synthesis because of their synthetic application and their pharmacological properties. Diphenyl diselenide (PhSe)2 is an organic compound of selenium that has several pharmacological effects; however the poor water-solubility and low oral bioavailability can be a limit for its clinical utility. Polymeric nanoparticles has been an impotant model to carry drugs with advantages such as increase bioavailability, targeting to specific sites and the possibility of encapsulation of lipophilic compounds quite efficiently. In view of the quest for developing a system to control drug release and improve its oral bioavailability, this study aims to prepare nanospheres and nanocapsules of (PhSe)2 by the interfacial deposition method of preformed polymer cores using different oils (miglyol, canola oil and omega-3) as the oil core. The nanocapsules will be characterized by measuring the pH, mean particle size, polydispersity index, zeta potential, rate of association and determination of (PhSe)2. By adjusting the process parameters, the results of the optimized formulation showed a size distribution with a…

▼ Un oligonucléotide riche en G, AS1411, interagi avec la nucléoline et inhibe la prolifération des cellules cancéreuses et la croissance tumorale. Cette action antiproliférative est augmentée lorsqu’AS1411 est conjugué à différents types de nanoparticules. Cependant, les mécanismes moléculaires impliqués demeurent inconnusDans ce travail, nous montrons dans des cellules HeLa que l'optimisation des nanopshères d'or conjuguées à l'AS1411 (GNS-AS1411) inhibe l'expression de la nucléoline aux niveaux des ARN et des protéines. Une altération de la structure nucléolaire avec une diminution de l’accumulation des ARN ribosomaux comparable à celle engendrée par un knock-down de la nucléoline a été observée. Toutefois, l'expression des gènes impliqués dans le cycle cellulaire et le blocage du cycle cellulaire par GNS-AS1411 n’est pas régulée de la même manière que dans les cellules où la nucléoline a été inactivée. Ces données suggèrent que l'activité antiproliférative du complexe GNS-AS1411 n'est pas la seule conséquence du ciblage et de la régulation négative de la nucléoline
A G-rich oligonucleotide, AS1411, has been shown to interact with nucleolin and to inhibit cancer cell proliferation and tumor growth. This antiproliferative action is increased when AS1411 is conjugated to different types of nanoparticles. However, the molecular mechanisms are not known. In this work, we show in HeLa cells that optimized AS1411-conjugated gold nanospheres (GNS-AS1411) inhibit nucleolin expression at the RNA and protein levels. We observed an alteration of the nucleolar structure with a decrease of ribosomal RNA accumulation comparable to what is observed upon nucleolin knock down. However, the expression of genes involved in cell cycle and the cell cycle blockage by GNS-AS1411 are not regulated in the same way that in cells where nucleolin has been knock down. These data suggest that the anti-proliferative activity of GNS-AS1411 is not the only consequence of nucleolin targeting and down regulation

▼ Votle magnetne nanosfere imajo velik potencial v okoljevarstvu v senzorskih aplikacijah za določevanje prisotnosti onesnaževal in kot adsorpcijska sredstva za čiščenje težkih kovin iz voda. Njihova prednost pred nemagnetnimi nanodelci je v tem, da jih po uporabi lahko z zunanjim magnetnim poljem odstranjujemo in regeneriramo.
Votle magnetne nanosfere so bile pripravljene z metodo oplaščanja predhodno pripravljenih trdnih jeder na osnovi SiO2 nanodelcev, z ovojnico iz magnetnih nanodelcev oz. magnetno fazo. Disolucijo jeder SiO2 ter s tem nastanek votlih nanosfer smo dosegli s pomočjo kombinacije dveh pufrov pri pH vrednosti 3.
Uspešnost sinteze nanodelcev ter magnetnih votlih sfer smo okarakterizirali s pomočjo metod rentgenske praškovne difrakcije (XRD), presevne elektronske mikroskopije (TEM), z metodo analize specifične površine (BET), magnetizacijo z vibrirajočim vzorcem (VSM), infrardečo spektroskopijo s Fourier-jevo transformacijo (FTIR) ter vrstično elektronsko mikroskopijo (SEM).
Hollow magnetic nanospheres have great potential in ecology in sensors applications for determination of pollutants or for adsorption and removal of heavy metal ions from water. After their use, they can be easily removed by external magnetic field and regenerated.
We prepered magnetic nanospheres by core-shell method in which we used SiO2 nanoparticles as core or template and magnetic phase of nanoparticles for wrapping the templates or creating the shell arround the templates. Dissolution of SiO2 was achieved by combination of two buffers at pH 3.
Effectiveness of synthesis of nanoparticles and magnetic hollow spheres was caracterized by methods such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), method BET for measuring the specific surface area, vibrating samplemagnetic measurement (VSM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and by Scanning electron microscope method (SEM).

▼ This thesis reported synthesis of TiO2 nanostructures and Fe2O3 nanostructures and studied on
self-assembling process. The morphologies, compositions, and physicochemical properties of
the prepared samples were characterized by TEM, FESEM, XRD, FTIR, UV, and SQUID etc.
Nanoparticles of transition metal oxides own their special function to become an interesting hot
research topic in the recent decades. In particular, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles
can be used as drug delivery agent and new hard disc drive materials. They have wide
application in environment industry as well. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles can be applied in
photocatalysts, UV protectors and dye sensitive solar cell etc. Their wide industrial
applications for advanced technology development motivate scientists to develop simple,
economical and novel synthetic methods, and explore their applications, so that the
commercialization of the production of the nanomaterials becomes feasible.
The objective of this project is to develop an effective, simple and economical technical route
for synthesis of nanosized iron oxide and titanium oxide particles/rods/films. The approach and
the progress are outlined as follows.
Based on extensive literature reading on the project related area, a novel self-assembling
technical route for iron oxide nanostructure and architecture was proposed which has been
confirmed to be effective. Detailed experimental investigation on the synthesis of
nanoparticles/rods, and instrumental characterization of the particle size, structure, and
crystallites, etc. via TEM, FESEM, XRD, FTIR, UV, SQUID are conducted. Uniform nanorods
of hematite iron oxide and titanium oxide nanospheres, and anatase TiO2 thin film with
micropores have been successfully achieved. Some preliminary exploration for applications of
the synthesized nanomaterials has also been carried out.
Firstly, a novel assembled scheme of iron oxide nanostructure and architecture by selfassembling
process was investigated. The sol-gel technical route was employed to synthesize
nearly uniform nanorods of hematite particles. Morphologies and physicochemical properties
of iron oxide nanostructure were characterized by analytical instrument.
Secondly, titanium oxide nanospheres were synthesized via a hydrothermal process using
titanium isopropoxide as the precursor. Titanium oxide nanospheres with inner nanospace andhighly organized crystallites in the shell structure and surface regions were synthesized. It
demonstrated that the technical route developed in this work has a high versatility for structural
engineering of various targeted morphological products.
Thirdly, a simple process of preparing anatase TiO2 thin film with micropores was pursued.
The synthesized nano thin film with micropores was used for the material of dye-sensitive solar
cell; and effective electron transfer of titanium oxide electrode was confirmed by
electrochemical voltammetry. Preparation of the titanium oxide electrode and its
electrochemical analysis was…

▼ The goal of the research was to synthesize magnetic polymeric nanoparticles (MPNPs) under 100 nm in diameter, for future drug delivery applications. The thesis is divided into two main sections. In the first section, a quantitative, and comprehensive description of the top-down synthesis techniques available for poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) and magnetic polymeric nanoparticles (MPNPs) formation is provided, as well as the techniques commonly used for nanoparticle characterization. In the second part, a novel way to form MPNPs is presented. The emulsion evaporation method was selected as the method of choice to form poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) nanoparticles with entrapped magnetite (Fe3O4) in the polymeric matrix, in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as a surfactant. The magnetite, a water soluble compound, was surface functionalized with oleic acid to ensure its efficient entrapment in the PLGA matrix. The inclusion of magnetite with oleic acid (MOA) into the PLGA nanoparticles was accomplished in the organic phase. Synthesis was followed by dialysis, performed to eliminate the excess SDS, and lyophilization. The nanoparticles obtained ranged in size between 38.6 nm and 67.1 nm for naked PLGA nanoparticles, and from 78.8 to 115.1 nm for MOA entrapped PLGA nanoparticles. The entrapment efficiency ranged from 57.36% to 91.9%. The SDS remaining in the nanoparticles varied from 51.02% to 88.77%.

▼ The formation of the first transition metal complexes
of N-heterocyclic carbenes (NHCs) by ændash;fele and Wanzlick in
1968 and the discovery of the first stable and isolable free
carbenes by Arduengo in 1991 fostered the growth of this
fundamental area of chemical research. Currently, NHCs and their
metal complexes are intensely studied for applications such as
catalysis and most recently their pharmaceutical properties. The
latter has shown promising results and thus will be the primary
focus of this dissertation. In general, this dissertation will
provide a description of the synthesis and antimicrobial properties
of a novel class of silver NHC complexes derived from
4,5-dichloroimidazole and a comparison of its enhanced stability in
relation to other silver NHCs synthesized in our laboratory.
Chapter 1, the introduction, provides an overview of the medicinal
applications of various metal NHC complexes including silver, gold,
ruthenium, rhodium, and palladium. This follows a necessary
discussion of the known properties of the metals including
antimicrobial, antitumor, toxicity, resistance and proposed
mechanisms of action. Chapter 2, discusses the synthesis,
properties, and antimicrobial activity of a silver(I) acetate NHC
complex derived from 4,5-dichloroimidazole with enhanced stability.
This discussion is coupled with a comparison to two other
structurally similar complexes lacking similar enhanced stability
properties. Chapter 3 will provide a detailed account of the
stability of the silver NHC complex reported in chapter 2 in
various forms of aqueous media formulations including D2O, 0.9%
NaCl/D2O, and broth/D2O mixtures utilizing NMR spectral techniques.
Chapter 4 will focus on the synthesis of a silver NHC complex
bearing a lipophilic substituent, its incorporation into L-tyrosine
polyphosphate (LTP)
nanospheres, and its in vivo antimicrobial
efficacy when delivered to mice inoculated with Pseudomonas
aeruginosa. Chapter 5 is devoted to the synthesis and
characterization of imidazolium salt precursors functionalized with
a variety of substituents and their corresponding silver NHC
complexes. In chapter 6, the potential use of several different
silver NHC complexes as a treatment of Onychomycosis, a common
fungal infection of the nails is explored. The in vitro antifungal
activity and penetration potential is reported.

▼ The 3d transition metal alloys are today prospective materials for high density magnetic recording. These include the chemically ordered FePt, CoPt, CrPt3 alloys and the Co/Pt superlattices. The main goal of this work is to provide a comprehensive morphological, structural and magnetic characterization of nanostructured films. The work focuses on four different areas that deal with the optimization of these materials by control of their magnetic anisotropy and microstructural characteristics.Firstly, the effect of layering and thickness studied in CrPt3 and CoPt films: In films obtained by heat-treatment of bilayers and trilayers (of different Co/Pt content) higher degree of chemical ordering and coercivity can be achieved compared to single layer films. The TEM analysis of Co-Pt films reveals that the twin density in trilayers is larger compared to single layers. The average size of grains in CoPt single layers are 32nm, while the average size of Co/CoPt/Pt trilayers is 42nm.Secondly, the study of the effect of layering and magnetic annealing on the texture of Co/Pt multilayers shows that the (001) texture sets in as a result of transformation strain driven selective grain growth of (001) at expense of the other possible textures. This correlation between strain and texture is clear only for magnetically annealed samples. This shows that the main function of the applied field is to correlate local strains in a macroscopic level thus increasing their effect along with directly driving the formation of easy axis (001) towards its direction. Thirdly, the study of switching behavior of regular magnetic FePt nanoislands obtained by sputter deposition of the magnetic layer on monolayers of polystyrene nanospheres (of 970nm and 173nm diameter) used as masks. The nanoislands are magnetically hard and are characterized by non-zero dM-plots. These findings were compared with micromagnetic modeling studies which shows that for anisotropy values high enough to match the observed coercivity, multidomain islands can result in due to the existence of either a softer part or different anisotropy direction part within each magnetic entity. Finally, the previous approach is extended to the study of magnetization reversal in graded anisotropy Co/Pt multilayers which are deposited both onto nanospheres and Si substrates for comparison. The study was based on First Order Reversal Curve diagrams (FORC). Using regular nanostructures the following complication that the study of grade anisotropy films presents, can be dealt with if the thickness exceeds a certain limit above which the formation of stripe domains becomes favorable the straight forward interpretation of the effect of the anisotropy profile on the reversal is not possible. It is found that multilayers can be used to create model graded perpendicular anisotropy systems only when lateral domain propagation is suppressed by appropriate nanostructuration.

▼ The design, synthesis, and use of new biodegradable polymers for drug delivery applications is an area of ever increasing interest. Polymeric drug delivery systems have several advantages compared to conventional drug delivery methods such as liposomes and antibodies. Since liposomes are spherical vessels made of phosphorolipids, they are tiny particles which can be taken up by the macrophages. Antibodies, meanwhile, have the disadvantage that most receptor sites on tumor cells are also present on healthy cells. Several of these advantages include localized delivery, improved drug efficiency, and drug protection of certain medications which may degrade rapidly when inside the body.
Poly(b-amino esters) and Poly(b-amino amides) are ideal polymers for the encapsulation, delivery, and release of various therapeutic agents to cancer cells, which have an acidic extra cellular pH level, near 6.8. Poly(b-amino esters) and Poly(b-amino amides) are specifically designed to degrade by hydrolysis of the ester and amide bonds respectively, in the polymer backbone. Microspheres of Poly(b-amino ester) and Poly(b-amino amide) are formed via a double emulsion process using Rhodamine B-Isothiocyanate (RBITC) labeled Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) as the encapsulate. The fluorescence intensity of the RBITC-BSA released from the polymer sphere was measured as a way of testing polymer backbone hydrolysis. The polymer microspheres were placed into different solutions of varying pH ranges. The pH range extended from pH 5.5 to pH 7.4. The hydrolyzed polymer byproducts were removed and the resulting supernatant tested for fluorescence intensity. The results showed polymer hydrolysis and release of labeled BSA at pH 6.8 and lower.

▼ Σκοπός της παρούσας διδακτορικής διατριβής είναι η σύνθεση, ο χαρακτηρισμός και η βιολογική αξιολόγηση τροποποιημένων πολυλειτουργικών νανοπεριεκτών (ΠΝΠ) ως συστημάτων μεταφοράς φαρμάκων (ΣΜΦ), με άμεση εφαρμογή στη θεραπεία του καρκίνου του μαστού και του προστάτη. Με τον όρο νανοπεριέκτες (ΝΠ) εννοούμε τα σωματίδια τα οποία βρίσκονται στην κλίμακα του νανομέτρου και κυμαίνονται σε διαστάσεις από περίπου 1nm έως και 100 nm. Ο όρος πολυλειτουργικά αναφέρεται στις ιδιότητες αυτών των νανοδομών και πιο συγκεκριμένα στο πως μεταβάλλονται οι ιδιότητες αυτών όταν υπάρχει επίδραση εξωτερικών παραγόντων όπως θερμοκρασία, pH, όξειδο-αναγωγικό περιβάλλον και μεταβαλλόμενο μαγνητικό πεδίο.
Για την παρασκευή των πολυμερικών νανοπεριεκτών χρησιμοποιήθηκαν διάφορα είδη πολυμερισμών όπως, πολυμερισμός γαλακτώματος μέσω ριζών, πολυμερισμός σπόρου (seed), πολυμερισμός μεταφοράς ατόμου με ρίζες, πολυμερισμός διασποράς και πολυμερισμός μέσω απόσταξης-καταβύθισης. Οι διάφορες ευαισθησίες στα ΝΣ προστέθηκαν μέσω συμπολυμερισμού διαφόρων μονομερών τα οποία παρουσιάζουν τις προαναφερθείσες ιδιότητες. Κάποια από τα μονομερή τα οποία χρησιμοποιήθηκαν, όπως το υδρόξυ προπυλικό μεθακρυλαμίδιο (HPMA) το οποίο παρουσιάζει ευαισθησία στη μεταβολή της θερμοκρασίας και το 3-Μεθυλ-N-(2-((2-(3-οξοβουταναμιδο)εθυλ) δισουλαφανυλ)εθυλ)βουτ-3-εναμίδιο (Disulfide) το οποίο παρουσιάζει ευαισθησία στις μεταβολές του όξειδο-αναγωγικού περιβάλλοντος συνετέθησαν στο εργαστήριο, ενώ τα υπόλοιπα ήταν εμπορικά διαθέσιμα.
Το κύριο μονομερές το οποίο χρησιμοποιήθηκε στους πολυμερισμούς είναι ο Μεθακρυλικός Μεθυλεστέρας (MMA) το οποίο είναι μη τοξικό και κατά τον πολυμερισμό του δημιουργεί σφαιρικές δομές συγκεκριμένου μεγέθους (νανοσφαίρες). Με τη χρήση του συγκεκριμένου μονομερούς συνετέθησαν συμπολυμερή, τα οποία είναι ευαίσθητα στη θερμοκρασία, στο pH και στο όξειδο-αναγωγικό περιβάλλον ή σε συνδυασμό των παραγόντων αυτών. Οι πολυμερικές νανοσφαίρες-νανοπεριέκτες οι οποίες συνετέθησαν είναι κενές στο εσωτερικό τους, ή είναι της μορφής πυρήνας-κέλυφος, όπου το κέλυφος περιέχει τα μονομερή με τις επιθυμητές ευαισθησίες. Η κοιλότητα η οποία δημιουργείται στο εσωτερικό των νανοσφαιρών, σε ορισμένες περιπτώσεις, έχει ως σκοπό τον εγκλωβισμό φαρμακευτικών ουσιών. Τα φαρμακευτικά μόρια τα οποία χρησιμοποιούνται στην παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή, είτε στο εσωτερικό των νανοσφαιρών είτε προσδεδεμένα στην επιφάνεια αυτών, είναι η Δοξορουβικίνη (Doxorubicin) και η Δαουνοροβικίνη (Daunorubicin).
Η επαγωγή των μαγνητικών ιδιοτήτων στους νανοπεριέκτες πραγματοποιήθηκε με τη σύνθεση μαγνητικών νανοσωματιδίων (ΜΝΣ) τα οποία παρασκευάστηκαν πάνω στην επιφάνειά τους. Η χρήση ενός εναλλασσόμενου μαγνητικού πεδίου αυξάνει τοπικά τη θερμοκρασία με αποτέλεσμα, αφενός να διευκολύνεται η τοπική απελευθέρωση της εγκλωβισμένης φαρμακευτικής ουσίας και αφετέρου, εξαιτίας της υψηλής θερμοκρασίας που αναπτύσσεται τοπικά, να οδηγείται το καρκινικό κύτταρο σε απόπτωση (προγραμματισμένος κυτταρικός θάνατος).
Για το χαρακτηρισμό των νανοπεριεκτών χρησιμοποιήθηκε μία πληθώρα τεχνικών.…

▼ Σήμερα η μελέτη των βιοϋλικών προσανατολίζεται σε δύο κατευθύνσεις, την ανάπτυξη συστημάτων μεταφοράς φαρμάκων και συστημάτων κατάλληλων να διεγείρουν κυτταρικές λειτουργίες. Η έρευνά μας έχει σχέση με την συγκριτική μελέτη συστημάτων μεταφοράς φαρμάκων κατάλληλων για εφαρμογή σε οστικούς καρκίνους. Τέτοιου είδους συστήματα θα πρέπει, αρχικά να είναι ικανά να μεταφέρουν τα φαρμακευτικά μόρια και στη συνέχεια να μπορούν να επάγουν οστεογένεση. Η δεύτερη λειτουργικότητα είναι ιδιαιτέρως σημαντική καθώς έχει σαν αποτέλεσμα την πλήρωση του οστικού ελλείμματος που προκαλείται από την δράση των καρκινικών κυττάρων. Για τον σκοπό αυτό, διερευνήθηκε η ικανότητα του υαλώδους δικτύου να μεταφέρει φαρμακευτικά μόρια μέσω παραδοσιακών συστημάτων μεταφοράς. Συνεπώς, ακολούθησε η ex vitro μελέτη pH-ευαίσθητων τροποποιημένων πυριτικών ξηρών πηκτών στα οποία είχε συνδεθεί το αντικαρκινικό φάρμακο δοξορουπμυσίνη. Συγκεκριμένα, πυριτικά ξηρά πηκτώματα συντέθηκαν με την μέθοδο sol-gel και τροποποιήθηκαν περαιτέρω με χημεία καρβοδιϊμιδίου. Η τροποποίηση είχε σαν αποτέλεσμα την επιφανειακή σύνδεση υδροπηκτών δεξτράνης που παρουσιάζουν ευαισθησία στο pH. Στη συνέχεια, ακολούθησε η σύνθεση των ανόργανων βιοενεργών νανοσφαιρών. Για την σύνθεση των υαλωδών νανοσφαιρών με εσωτερική κοιλότητα ακολουθήθηκε η διαδικασία επικάλυψης sol-gel, κατά την οποία έγινε η ηλεκτροστατική επικάλυψη νανοσωματιδίων πολυστυρενίου με αποτέλεσμα την σύνθεση ανόργανων πυριτικών και φωσφοπυριτικών νανοσφαιρών. Επιπλέον, μελετήθηκε η εφαρμογή του συμπολυμερούς του πολυμεθακρυλικού μεθυλεστέρα – υδρομεθακρυλικού προπυλεστέρα ως υποστρώματος καθώς το PMMA αποτελεί βασικό συστατικό των οστικών τσιμέντων και παρουσιάζει βελτιωμένες μηχανικές ιδιότητες. Προκειμένου να ολοκληρωθεί η συγκριτική μελέτη μας, ακολούθησε η ex vitro ανάλυση των παραπάνω υβριδικών φωσφοπυριτικών νανοσφαιρών καθώς επίσης των πυριτικών νανοσφαιρών PS και PMMA-co-HPMA. Η επώαση σε διάλυμα SBF οδήγησε στον σχηματισμό ανθρακικού πυριτικού υδροξυαπατίτη με το μέγεθος των κρυσταλλιτών να μην υπερβαίνει τα 45 nm και έντονη παρουσία συσσωματωμάτων. Βέλτιστες ιδιότητες βιοενεργότητας παρουσιάζουν οι τροποποιημένες με αμίνες υβριδικές νανοσφαίρες PMMA-co-HPMA, οι οποίες έχουν επίσης την δυνατότητα να χρησιμοποιηθούν ως μεταφορείς φαρμακευτικών μορίων σε όξινο καθώς επίσης και σε φυσιολογικό pH με παρατεταμένη δυνατότητα αποδέσμευσης.
Recently the study of biomaterials has moved in two directions, the evolution of drug delivery systems and of systems that can stimulate specific cellular responses. Our investigation aims to the study of drug delivery systems for bone cancer therapy. These systems must fulfill two important functionalities. At first, they should be able to deliver drug molecules to bone cancer environment through loading or surface conjugation and subsequently to cause osteogenesis. Their second functionality is especially important since it leads to substitution of bone defects caused from the action of cancer cells. For this purpose, the ability of the glassy network to deliver drug…

▼ Noble metal nanomaterials have numerous uses in plasmonic and surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection applications; however, upon the addition of analytes, nanomaterials often undergo uncontrolled aggregation which leads to inconsistent signal intensities. To overcome this limitation, the effect of gold nanosphere concentration, column purification, and surface chemistry functionalization using internally etched silica stabilization methods was investigated on SERS assays for small molecule detection. Nanostructure composition, size, shape, stability, surface chemistry, optical properties, and SERS-activity were monitored using localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR or extinction) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Raman spectroscopy. First, the behavior of citrate-stabilized gold
nanospheres was monitored as a function of molecular surface coverage. Both extinction and SERS spectral intensities increased linearly below monolayer functionalization. Above this value, however, uncontrolled nanoparticle aggregation occurred and large but irreproducible SERS signal intensities were monitored. Next, gold nanoparticles were encapsulated with varying silica shell thicknesses and purified using traditional centrifugation steps and/or column chromatography. Relative to the traditionally purified (i.e. centrifuged) samples, the SERS responses from small molecules using the column purified nanoparticle samples followed a well-known SERS distance-dependence model. Thus, surface chemistry cannot form more than a 2 nm thick layer on gold
nanospheres if SERS applications were targeted. To overcome these challenges, gold
nanospheres encapsulated with a thick silica shell were made SERS-active by etching the internal silica layer near the metal surface. During the synthesis of these internally etched silica-coated gold
nanospheres, the LSPR wavelength shift, a parameter related to the effective local refractive index near the gold core, was monitored instead of etching time, in order to produce nanostructures with more uniform internal silica etching from sample to sample. The SERS-activity of a target molecule using these nanostructures was measured as a function of LSPR wavelength shift. SERS signal intensity increased, which suggested that more analyte molecules were able to bind to the gold surface because of the larger pore size in the silica layer near the metal core. Further exploration of these findings should increase the integration of solution-phase nanoparticles in more predictable functions in future applications, resulting in more quantitative and reproducible molecular detection in complex sample matrices, including biological and environmental samples.

▼ La rápida aparición de bacterias resistentes a fármacos es uno de los problemas más graves del sistema sanitario convirtiéndose en un gran reto encontrar nuevos antibióticos. Para superar la acción de los antibióticos, las bacterias utilizan diferentes mecanismos de resistencia incluyendo la formación de biopelículas. Las biopelículas son comunidades complejas de células bacterianas unidas por una matriz polimérica comúnmente encontradas en dispositivos médicos invasivos como los catéteres urinarios. Cuando los patógenos adoptan este modo de crecimiento en superficies, evitan eficazmente las defensas inmunitarias y el efecto de los antibióticos, causando infecciones. Esta tesis se centra en el desarrollo de nuevos materiales y recubrimientos nanoestructurados para el control de biopelículas bacterianas y la reducción de su resistencia a antibióticos. Por lo tanto, las enzimas acilasa y amilasa, capaces de degradar los componentes necesarios de las bacterias para formar biopelículas, se combinaron de forma innovadora en nanorecubrimientos híbridos para intervenir en el crecimiento de las biopelículas en dispositivos médicos permanentes. Además, la transformación de agentes antimicrobianos a forma "nano" se utilizó para mejorar su eficacia antibacteriana y superarlos mecanismos de resistencia a fármacos de las bacterias. Estas estrategias ofrecen nuevas perspectivas para el tratamiento de las infecciones relacionadas con biopelículas, limitando la selección y propagación de la resistencia bacteriana. La primera parte de la tesis describe la generación de recubrimientos multicapa de enzimas capaces de interferir con el sistema de comunicación bacteriana, denominado quórum sensing (QS) y prevenir la formación de biopelículas en el superficie de los catéteres urinarios. Esto se consiguió por deposición alternada de acilasa, cargada negativamente, y polietilenimina, cargada de manera opuesta, en la forma de capa a capa (LbL). Los catéteres recubiertos con acilasa inhibieron el proceso QS de bacterias Gram-negativas y redujeron significativamente el crecimiento de biopelículas en los catéteres urinarios en condiciones que imitaban la situación real en pacientes cateterizados. Adicionalmente, la acilasa se combinó con la enzima amilasa en recubrimientos híbridos capaces de interferir con las señales de comunicación entre bacterias y la integridad de la matriz de la biopelícula. El ensamblaje de las dos enzimas en recubrimientos híbridos dio lugar a una inhibición de la formación de biopelículas más fuerte en función de la localización de la acilasa o de la amilasa en la multicapa. Nanorecubrimientos con acilasa en la capa más externa redujo la formación de biopelículas en catéteres de silicona in vitro y en un modelo animal in vivo. La tesis también muestra la eficacia de nanomateriales para el control de biopelículas bacterianas. Las nanoesferas (NSs) antibacterianas, que contienen en su estructura multicapas ensambladas que se liberan bajo demanda, fueron depositados sobre silicona. Aminocelulosa (AC) se transformó primero…

▼ Absorption of long-wavelength photons in thin-film hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) solar cells is inherently low due to an absorption layer thickness of 250-300nm and long absorption lengths for photons of wavelengths above 700nm. When used in a thin-film solar cell, back reflectors that exhibit diffuse reflection increase the probability of absorption by lengthening the path-lengths of photons. Ordered monolayers of silica nanospheres coated with a reflective surface were investigated for use as a diffuse back reflector.
A method for fabricating a monolayer of silica nanospheres was developed using a custom built dip-coating apparatus. Repeatable monolayers of 500nm nanospheres were fabricated on glass and stainless steel substrates. The monolayers were covered with a 200nm layer of silver (Ag) and a 200nm layer of aluminum-doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) to be used as a back-reflector in a-Si:H solar cells.
The back-reflector substrates were measured to have a much higher percentage of diffuse reflectance when compared to flat silver back-reflector substrates. Increases in long-wavelength absorption were observed by normalized external quantum efficiency (NEQE) measurements of the a-Si:H solar cells. Short circuit current density increases were seen in both I-V measurements under AM1.5 lighting as well as in NEQE measurements.
