This review focuses on the recent advances in biosensors based on metal nanoparticles (MeNP) incorporated in layer-by-layer (LbL) or self-assembled layers.
Sensitive electrochemical immunosensor for the detection of platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) based on metal nanoparticles mediated electron transfer was reported.
Nanocomposite materials based on metal nanoparticles (NPs, guest) in/on oxide matrices (host) have attracted increasing attention thanks to their intriguing chemico-physical properties that can be tailored as a function of NP size, shape and mutual interactions.
Numerous sensor platforms based on metal nanoparticles dispersed silicate matrices have been reported for environmental and biomedical applications (Adams et al. 2011; Jena and Raj 2007; Matsuhisa et al. 2013).
Nakanishi, H. & Grzybowski, B. A. Supercapacitors based on metal electrodes prepared from nanoparticle mixtures at room temperature.
In this work we demonstrate that it is possible to create new magnetic material based on metal-containing nanoparticles stabilized on the surface of polytetrafluoroethylene nanogranules.
This review focuses on the reported metal-involved theranostic agents based on metal chelators, metal complexes, and metal nanoparticles.
Herein, based on metal organic framework (MOF), we develop an effective strategy to synthesize Ni nanoparticles embedded in N doped carbon nanotubes (Ni NPs@N-CNTs) catalyst.
The reported results show the achievement of an easy and versatile synthesis of core shell systems based on noble metal nanoparticles that allows the modulation of morphology, dimensions and chemical-physical properties of these nanoparticles, such as the hydrophilic-hydrophobic character, using an appropriate conjugated polymeric shell.
A logic consequence has been the introduction of organic and inorganic nanofillers into biodegradable polymers to produce nanocomposites based on hydroxyapatite, metal nanoparticles or carbon nanotructures, in order to prepare new biomaterials with enhanced properties.
