Hybrid lanthanide-doped rattle-type thermometers for theranostics

Abstract

The development of top-down hybrid rattle-shaped thermometers based on hollow Periodic Mesoporous Organosilica (HPMO) and either a -NaYF4 or CaF2 inorganic host is presented in this work. We show that...

Dual-mode vehicles with simultaneous thermometry and drug release properties based on hollow Y2O3:Er,Yb and Y2O2SO4:Er,Yb spheres

“…49 This work therefore once again highlights possibilities of employing various hybrid and inorganic (nano)materials for biomedical thermometry purposes as well as the potential of simultaneously coupling thermometry with another modality for theranostic purposes as has already been shown for other similar materials in literature. [50][51][52][53]…”

Lanthanide-Directed Luminescent “Soft” Coordination Polymer Gels: White Light Emission, Anticounterfeiting, and Thin-Film-Based Sensing

“…Counterfeiting not only causes big economic losses and social problems but also puts people’s health at risk with fake pharmaceuticals . To prevent counterfeiting, anticounterfeiting labels such as graphical barcodes, watermarks, holograms, luminescence, and security inks are among the most frequent options. , However, conventional anticounterfeiting strategies, such as barcodes, watermarks, and so forth, are easily replicable and makes it impossible to prevent counterfeiting successfully. Among these, luminescence anticounterfeiting has attracted increasing attention due to the easily changeable behaviors of luminescence materials under external stimuli (such as chemical reagents, heat, excitation light, mechanical force, etc.…”
