- Ultrafast Imaging, University of Hamburg, Luruper Chaussee 149, 22761 Hamburg, Germany Department of Chemistry, Faculty of Science, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia 10.3762/bjnano.6.22 Abstract In this short review, the main challenges in the use of hydrophobic nanoparticles in biomedical
- application are addressed. It is shown how to overcome the different issues by the use of a polymeric encapsulation system, based on an amphiphilic polyisoprene-block-poly(ethylene glycol) diblock copolymer. On the basis of this simple molecule, the development of a versatile and powerful phase transfer
- termination reactions, which gives the opportunity to easily functionalize the polymer chains using specific terminating reagents [11][12]. In this short review we summarize our experiences with amphiphilic diblock copolymers for the encapsulation of inorganic nanoparticles for their use in biomedical
Inorganic Janus particles for biomedical applications
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2014, 5, 2346–2362, doi:10.3762/bjnano.5.244
- nanoparticles. The properties emphasized in this review range from the monodispersity and size-tunability and, therefore, precise control over size-dependent features, to the biomedical application as theranostic agents. Hence, we show their optical properties based on plasmonic resonance, the two-photon
