2. 1. Synthesis of Polymeric Nanocomposites for Drug Delivery and Bioimaging

   Author : Heba Asem; Joydeep Dutta; Moustapha Hassan; Fei Ye; Jöns Hilborn; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biodegradable polymers; SPION; QDs; drug delivery; cytotoxicity; MRI; in vivo fluorescence imaging; biodistribution; Fysik; Physics;

   Abstract : Nanomaterials have gained great attention for biomedical applications due to their extraordinary physico-chemical and biological properties. The current dissertation presents the design and development of multifunctional nanoparticles for molecular imaging and controlled drug delivery applications which include biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION)/polymeric nanocomposite for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and drug delivery, manganese-doped zinc sulfide (Mn:ZnS) quantum dots (QDs)/ SPION/ polymeric nanocomposites for fluorescence imaging, MRI and drug delivery.
