Comparative Study Of Silk-Based Magnetic Materials: Effect Of Magnetic Particle Types On The Protein Structure And Biomaterial Properties., Ye Xue, Samuel Lofland, Xiao Hu Oct 2020

Comparative Study Of Silk-Based Magnetic Materials: Effect Of Magnetic Particle Types On The Protein Structure And Biomaterial Properties., Ye Xue, Samuel Lofland, Xiao Hu

Faculty Scholarship for the College of Science & Mathematics

This study investigates combining the good biocompatibility and flexibility of silk protein with three types of widely used magnetic nanoparticles to comparatively explore their structures, properties and potential applications in the sustainability and biomaterial fields. The secondary structure of silk protein was quantitatively studied by infrared spectroscopy. It was found that magnetite (Fe3O4) and barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) can prohibit β-sheet crystal due to strong coordination bonding between Fe3+ ions and carboxylate ions on silk fibroin chains where cobalt particles showed minimal effect. This was confirmed by thermal analysis, where a high temperature degradation peak was found above 640 °C in …

Department of Physics and Astronomy: Faculty Publications

Mechanical jamming of nanoparticles at liquid–liquid interfaces has evolved into a versatile approach to structure liquids with solid-state properties. Ferromagnetic liquids obtain their physical and magnetic properties, including a remanent magnetization that distinguishes them from ferrofluids, from the jamming of magnetic nanoparticles assembled at the interface between two distinct liquids to minimize surface tension. This perspective provides an overview of recent progress and discusses future directions, challenges and potential applications of jamming magnetic nanoparticles with regard to 3D nano-magnetism. We address the formation and characterization of curved magnetic geometries, and spin frustration between dipole-coupled nanostructures, and advance our understanding of …

Magnetic Hyperthermia For Cancer Treatment, Çiğdem Elif Demirci Dönmez, Adem Dönmez

Science and Mathematical Science

The obtained results in this study clearly indicates the enhancing effect of polymer coating on hyperthermia efficiency. In a very recent study, the efficiency of the niclosamide-loaded hyperbranched polymerfunctionalized magnetic nanoparticles on mediated hyperthermia and niclosamide (an anticancer drug) bimodel therapy were investigated. The results in this study indicated that polymerfunctionalized nanoparticles showed sufficient temperature gain for magnetic hyperthermia.
