Abstract Recently, gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles have drawn the interest of researchers due to their unique magneto-plasmonic characteristics. Previous research has found that the magneto-optical Faraday effect of gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles can be effectively enhanced because of the surface plasmon resonance of the gold shell. Furthermore, gold-coated magnetic nanoparticles are ideal for biomedical applications because of their high stability and biocompatibility. In this work, we synthesized Fe3O4@Au core-shell nanoparticles and coated streptavidin (STA) on the surface. Streptavidin is a protein which can selectively bind to biotin with a strong affinity. STA is widely used in biotechnology research including enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), time-resolved immunofluorescence (TRFIA), biosensors, and targeted pharmaceuticals. The Faraday magneto-optical characteristics of the biofunctionalized Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles were measured and studied. We showed that the streptavidin-coated Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles still possessed the enhanced magneto-optical Faraday effect. As a result, the possibility of using biofunctionalized Fe3O4@Au nanoparticles for magneto-optical biomedical assays should be explored.

AbstractA homogeneous non-aqueous solution reactions method has been developed to prepare gold-coated cobalt (Co@Au) nanoparticles. After the sample was washed with 8% HCl, XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), TEM (transmission electron microscopy), and magnetic measurements SQUID (Superconducting Quantum Interference Device) are utilized to characterize the nanocomposites. XRD shows the pattern of sample, which is responding to gold and cobalt, no cobalt oxide was found. TEM results show that the average size of Co@Au nanoparticles is about 10 nm and we can find core-shell structure of the sample. SQUID results show that the particles are ferromagnetic materials at 300K. So the gold- coated cobalt nanoparticles (Co@Au) can be successfully prepared by the homogeneous nonaqueous approach. This kind of core-shell materials is stable in acid condition, which would give many opportunities for bio- application.

Abstract Due to unique properties, nanoparticles been widely used in important biomedical applications such as imaging, drug delivery and disease therapy. Targeting toward specific proteins is essential for the effective utilization of nanoparticles. However, current targeting strategies mainly rely on surface modification with bio-ligands, which often not only fail to provide desired properties but also remain challenging. Here we report an unprecedented approach, called reverse microemulsion-confined epitope-oriented surface imprinting and cladding (ROSIC), for facile, versatile and controllable engineering coreless and core/shell nanoparticles with tunable monodispersed size as well as specific targeting capability towards proteins and peptides. Via engineering coreless imprinted and cladded silica nanoparticles, the effectiveness and superiority over conventional imprinting of the proposed approach was first verified. The prepared nanoparticles exhibited both high specificity and high affinity. Using quantum dots (QDs), superparamagnetic nanoparticles, silver nanoparticles and upconverting nanoparticles as a representative set of core substrates, a variety of dual-functional single-core/shell nanoparticles were then successfully prepared. Finally, selective fluorescence imaging of triple negative breast cancer cells over other breast cancer cell lines using QD-cored nanoparticles was achieved, which well demonstrated the potential of the prepared core/shell nanoparticles in biomedical applications. Thus, this approach opened a new avenue to engineering and functionalization of advanced nanoparticles with targeting capability, holding great prospects in biomedical applications.
