Recent Advancement in Functional Core-Shell Nanoparticles of Polymers: Synthesis, Physical Properties, and Applications in Medical Biotechnology

Abstract

This paper covers the core-shell nanomaterials, mainly, polymer-core polymer shell, polymer-core metal shell, and polymer-core nonmetal shells. Herein, various synthesis techniques, properties, and applications of these materials have been discussed. The detailed discussion of the properties with experimental parameters has been carried out. The various characterization techniques for the core-shell nanostructure have also been discussed. Their physical and chemical properties have been addressed. The future aspects of such core-shell nanostructures for biomedical and various other applications have been discussed with a special emphasis on their properties.

Physicochemical Characterization and Biocompatibility of SPION@Plasmonic @Chitosan Core-Shell Nanocomposite Biosynthesized from Fungus Species

“…Combining the properties of both kinds of NPs has interesting applications in surface-enhanced Raman scattering in catalytic degradation as electrochemical sensors or as inducers of apoptosis in cancer cells. Additionally, they have shown antibacterial and antifungal effects [9,11].…”

Enhanced Ultrafast Nonlinear Optical Response in Ferrite Core/Shell Nanostructures with Excellent Optical Limiting Performance

“…Core/shell architectures have become increasingly appealing among nanomaterials to develop efficient ways to functionalize and improve the properties of single‐phase nanoparticles in distinct fields such as microelectronics, biomedicine, catalysis, optics, and magnetism, among many others . In the particular case of optical limiters, core/shell structures have been used to make certain materials stable at extreme conditions, where chemically inert oxide shells have been grown for protective purposes .…”

THE 3 HOURS-HYDROTHERMAL SYNTHESIS OF HIGH SURFACE AREA SUPERPARAMAGNETIC Fe3O4 CORE-SHELL NANOPARTICLES

“…The dark image indicates a higher christallinity, meanwhile the light image indicates an amorphous phase [9]. The core-shell shape gives some advantages, the shell can be act as protector from air oxidation and can be place for ligan attachment as well [13][14]. From the TEM images, the average particle size of the assynthesized sample is about 60 nm.…”
