研究目的
To investigate the role of ordered structure in assemblies of iron oxide nanoparticles in conjugated polymer nanoparticles for enhancing properties as multimodal theranostic agents for magnetic resonance and photoacoustic imaging.
研究成果
The ordered assembly at a 1:1:0.8 molar ratio significantly enhances photoacoustic and magnetic properties due to structural ordering, with no energy transfer between components, suggesting combined effects for improved theranostic applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific materials (PCPDTBT, D8PE, Fe3O4) and preparation methods; HNP0.6 showed inconsistent properties and was excluded. The nanoparticles' size and stability might affect performance, and energy transfer mechanisms were not fully elucidated.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Hybrid nanoparticles were prepared using a phase-separated film shattering process with varying iron oxide concentrations while keeping a fixed ratio of conjugated polymer and phospholipid. Structural and property analyses were conducted using techniques like X-ray diffraction and transient absorption spectroscopy.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included PCPDTBT, D8PE, and Fe3O4 nanoparticles at molar mixing ratios from 1:1:0 to 1:1:1. Data were sourced from synthesized nanoparticles and characterized using various instruments.
3:Data were sourced from synthesized nanoparticles and characterized using various instruments. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Materials included PCPDTBT, D8PE, Fe3O4 nanoparticles, octanoic acid, PEG-NHS, chloroform, and others. Equipment included ultrasonicator, UV-vis-NIR spectrometer, TEM, DLS, MRI scanner, synchrotron X-ray scattering setup, and femtosecond transient absorption spectrometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Films were prepared by dissolving materials in chloroform, evaporating solvent, annealing, and shattering with water under ultrasonication. Nanoparticles were characterized for size, absorption, PA intensity, T2 relaxation, and structure via X-ray scattering and TA spectroscopy.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using software for DLS, TEM image analysis, spectral fitting, and multi-exponential decay fitting for TA data.
