Multifunctional nanocomposites (NCs) incorporating magnetic, luminescent and photothermal conversion properties are endowed with potential application in many fields such as imaging, tumor detection, drug delivery and therapy. Here, multifunctional MWCNTs-NaGdF4:Yb3+, Er3+, Eu3+ NCs, which offer the potential for integrated bioimaging and photothermal therapy (PTT) were fabricated by a facile hydrothermal method. The resulting sample exhibits uniform morphology, bright dual-modal luminescence and intrinsic paramagnetic properties. Under near-infrared laser excitation, NCs have excellent photothermal conversion properties. In addition, the MTT assay in HeLa cells shows that the NCs have good biocompatibility. Moreover, the up-conversion luminescence (UCL) imaging, X-ray computed tomography (CT) imaging and PTT in vitro of NCs were investigated. The results indicate that NCs can be used for dual-modal imaging-guided diagnose and PTT of cancer cells. (C) 2017 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) as a template for porous polymer synthesis

Jonas Blahnik, Jennifer Schuster, Rainer Mueller, Eva Mueller, Werner Kunz

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between the morphology of PMMA monopolymers and PMMA-PHEMA copolymers with the expected nature of surfactant-free microemulsions (SFMEs) before polymerization. It is found that previously mesostructured, surfactant-free mixtures can produce porous polymers of different morphologies, while unstructured, oil-rich regions lead to solid, transparent polymers without nanostructured morphologies. Additionally, a surfactant-based reference system shows similar phase behavior and polymer morphologies as the comparable surfactant-free system, indicating the importance of the hydrotropic behavior of HEMA in this system.
