Superparamagnetic fluorescent nickel–enzyme nanobioconjugates: synthesis and characterization of a novel multifunctional biological probe

Functionalization of manganite nanoparticles and their interaction with biologically relevant small ligands: Picosecond time-resolved FRET studies

“…[6][7][8] Formation of nanoparticles involving biological macromolecules is a very effective route towards biocompatible magnetic materials. [9][10][11][12] Mixedvalent manganites have been recognized to be very useful magnetic materials for their potential in colossal magnetoresistance 13,14 and spintronics. 15 In recent times significant efforts have been made to use manganite nanoparticles for prospective applications in cancer therapy involving the hyperthermal effect.…”

Photophysical and surface characteristics of electrospun polysulfone/nickel fibers

“…For all samples t 1 < t 2 . The fast component can be ascribed to surfacerelated nonradiative processes and the slow component to radiative recombination of free excitons in polysulfone/Ni nanofibers[30][31][32][33].…”

Functionalisation of nanoparticles for biomedical applications

“…Nano-structured materials including Au [16,17], Ag [4], Co [3], Ni x [18] Fe 3 O 4 , Fe 2 O 3 , ␣-FeO(OH) [19], SiO 2 [20] and CdTe [21,22] have been synthesised in aqueous solution. These methods provide water-dispersible NPs, a necessity for the application in biological systems; however, control over particle size distribution is still limited for many semiconductor and magnetic NP systems.…”
