Fe 3 O 4– SiO 2 core–shell structure nanoparticles containing magnetic properties were investigated for their potential use in drug delivery. The Fe 3 O 4– SiO 2 core–shell structure nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by a simple and convenient way. The Fe 3 O 4– SiO 2 nanoparticles showed superparamagnetic behavior, indicating a great application potential in separation technologies. From the application point of view, the prepared nanoparticles were found to act as an efficient drug carrier. Specifically, the surface of the core–shell nanoparticles was modified with amino groups by use of silane coupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS). Doxorubicin (DOX) was successfully grafted to the surface of the core–shell nanoparticles after the decoration with the carboxyl acid groups on the surface of amino-modified core–shell structure nanoparticles. Moreover, the nanocomposite showed a good drug delivery performance in the DOX-loading efficiency and drug release experiments, confirming that the materials had a great application potential in drug delivery. It is envisioned that the prepared materials are the ideal agent for application in medical diagnosis and therapy.

Silver nanoparticles synthesized with polymers as coating agents is an effective method to overcome their poor stability and aggregation in solution. Silver-polyethylene glycol (Ag-PEG) nanoparticles were synthesized with the thiol-functionalized polyethylene glycol (SH-PEA) as the coating, reducing and stabilizing agent. The UV irradiation time, polymer and silver nitrate concentration for the synthesis were investigated. The concentration of silver nitrate had significant effect on the morphology of Ag-PEG nanoparticles. When increasing the concentration of silver nitrate, SEM and TEM images showed that Ag-PEG nanoparticles changed from Janus to multi-core shell structure. Meanwhile, pure silver particles in the two hybrid nanoparticles presented spherical shape and had the similar size of 15 nm. The antibacterial activities and cytotoxicity of the two structural Ag-PEG nanoparticles were investigated to understand colloid morphology effect on the properties of AgNPs. The results of antibacterial activities showed that the two structural Ag-PEG nanoparticles exhibited strong antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis. The Janus nanoparticles had larger minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bacterial concentration (MBC) values than the multi-core shell counterparts. The results of cytotoxicity showed the Janus Ag-PEG nanoparticles had lower toxicity than the multi-core shell nanoparticles.

A biomimetic and facile approach for integrating Fe 3 O 4 and Au with polydopamine (PDA) was proposed to construct gold-coated Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles ( Fe 3 O 4@ Au – PDA ) with a core–shell structure by coupling in situ reduction with a seed-mediated method in aqueous solution at room temperature. The morphology, structure and composition of the core–shell structured Fe 3 O 4@ Au – PDA nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS). The formation process of Au shell was assessed using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. More importantly, according to investigating changes in PDA molecules by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and in preparation process of the zeta-potential data of nanoparticles, the mechanism of core–shell structure formation was proposed. Firstly, PDA-coated Fe 3 O 4 are obtained using dopamine (DA) self-polymerization to form thin and surface-adherent PDA films onto the surface of a Fe 3 O 4 "core". Then, Au seeds are attached on the surface of PDA-coated Fe 3 O 4 via electrostatic interaction in order to serve as nucleation centers catalyzing the reduction of Au 3+ to Au 0 by the catechol groups in PDA. Accompanied by the deposition of Au , PDA films transfer from the surface of Fe 3 O 4 to that of Au as stabilizing agent. In order to confirm the reasonableness of this mechanism, two verification experiments were conducted. The presence of PDA on the surface of Fe 3 O 4@ Au – PDA nanoparticles was confirmed by the finding that glycine or ethylenediamine could be grafted onto Fe 3 O 4@ Au – PDA nanoparticles through Schiff base reaction. In addition, Fe 3 O 4@ Au – DA nanoparticles, in which DA was substituted for PDA, were prepared using the same method as that for Fe 3 O 4@ Au – PDA nanoparticles and characterized by UV-Vis, TEM and FTIR. The results validated that DA possesses multiple functions of attaching Au seeds as well as acting as both reductant and stabilizing agent, the same functions as those of PDA.

Abstract Nano-sized lanthanum hexaboride (LaB6)@ titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles with a core–shell structure has been successfully synthesized via a simple sol–gel method. LaB6@TiO2 particles were used as filler in polyvinyl butyral (PVB) matrix and performance of the TiO2 shell was evaluated. The core–shell nanoparticles were characterized for morphology and structure properties. X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscope testing results confirm the formation of LaB6–TiO2 core–shell structure. In composite film, LaB6 improved the thermo-decomposing temperature of PVB matrix from 369.2 to 372.8°C, while the same amount of LaB6@TiO2 further increased the temperature to 381.0°C. In addition, TiO2 shell redshifted the maximum transmittance of the film from 605 to 669 nm in the visible region. In the near infrared region, its absorption peak shifted from 1,466 to 1,476 nm. This result will be helpful for the development of transparent and thermal insulating materials.

The Y2O2S:Er3+@Y2O2S:Yb3+,Ho3+ core-shell up-conversion (UC) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized by the homogeneous co-precipitation method. The Y2O2S:Er3+@Y2O2S:Yb3+,Ho3+ core-shell nanoparticles exhibit bright green emissions under 980 nm excitation, while the triple-ion doped Y2O2S:Er3+,Yb3+,Ho3+ sample presents mainly red emissions. The intensity ratio of green-to-red emission of the core-shell and conventional triple-ion doped samples are 2.8 and 0.3, respectively. Investigations on the UC mechanisms show that emissions from Er3+ and Ho3+ ions are achieved simultaneously in the core-shell nanoparticles. This is due to the efficient energy transfers of Yb3+→Ho3+ within the shell layer and Yb3+→Er3+ between the shell and the core. While the triple-ion doped Y2O2S: Er3+,Yb3+,Ho3+ sample exhibits mainly the emissions of Er3+ along with weak luminescence of Ho3+ ion. Since the cross relaxation between Er3+ and Ho3+ ions in the Y2O2S:Er3+,Yb3+,Ho3+ nanoparticles can effectively suppress the emissions of Ho3+ ions. Yet, in the core-shell structure, this cross relaxation can be successfully restrained in the core-shell structure where Er3+ is in the core and Ho3+ is in the shell. Therefore, the construction of core-shell structure can improve the luminescence efficiency and provide a route for adjustment of emission color.
