Novel magnetic organic–inorganic nanostructured materials

An Introduction to Bio‐nanohybrid Materials

“…Interestingly, the bilayers formed by the surfactant tails are able to incorporate different organophyllic species [71] making these materials potentially applicable as Drug Delivery Systems (DDS). More recently, these types of bilayers have been grafted onto magnetic nanoparticles giving rise to the so-called magnetocerasomes [73], which are nanohybrids simultaneously having lipophilic character and magnetic properties (see below, Section 5).…”

“…We have indicated above the interest in functionalizing magnetic oxide nanoparticles in the preparation of magnetocerasomes (see above, Section 2) by grafting long-chain cationic surfactants onto magnetite through silane or phosphonic moities, which are further co-assembled with phosphatidylcholine (PC) (Figure 1.13B). In this context, magnetocerasomes show the ability to incorporate lipophilic target species, transporting them through artificial membranes being useful for the design of new carriers for DDS [73].…”

Novel hybrid nanostructured materials of magnetite nanoparticles and pectin

“…Besides their nanoscale dimensions, these hybrid nanostructures have the advantages of magnetic targeting, controlled release and are chemically resistant in stomach condition. Such hybrid nanomaterials will find various biomedical applications, especially in targeted drug delivery system [23][24][25] [26]. However, the proposed method was modified by using biocompatible surfactant (0.2% v/v, tween-80), for dispersing the as-synthesized MNPs to achieve better particle size distribution.…”

Multifunctional Porous Materials Through Ferrofluids

“…All these features NPs serves as an appropriate support for immobilization of a phospholipid (phosphatidylcholine, PC) monolayer, similarly to that previously reported for related systems. [ 23 ] The resulting mixed oleic acid/PC bilayer ( Figure S3) may accommodate the enzyme, as already performed on similar supported lipid interfaces. [ 24 ] The resulting superparamagnetic materials (Figure 2 f), loaded with ca.…”
