Abstract
Nanotechnology has gained much attention for its potential application in medical science. Iron oxide nanoparticles have demonstrated a promising effect in various biomedical applications. In particular, magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles are widely applied due to their biocompatibility, high magnetic susceptibility, chemical stability, innocuousness, high saturation magnetisation, and inexpensiveness. Magnetite (Fe3O4) exhibits superparamagnetism as its size shrinks in the single-domain region to around 20 nm, which is an essential property for use in biomedical applications. In this review, the application of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) in the biomedical field based on different synthesis approaches and various surface functionalisation materials was discussed. Firstly, a brief introduction on the MNP properties, such as physical, thermal, magnetic, and optical properties, is provided. Considering that the surface chemistry of MNPs plays an important role in the practical implementation of in vitro and in vivo applications, this review then focuses on several predominant synthesis methods and variations in the synthesis parameters of MNPs. The encapsulation of MNPs with organic and inorganic materials is also discussed. Finally, the most common in vivo and in vitro applications in the biomedical world are elucidated. This review aims to deliver concise information to new researchers in this field, guide them in selecting appropriate synthesis techniques for MNPs, and to enhance the surface chemistry of MNPs for their interests.

Abstract
Colloidosomes have received considerable attention for the controlled delivery of active ingredients in medicine, agrochemicals, and cosmetics. However, most reported colloidosomes are highly permeable and size is larger than 1 μm. All silica colloidosomes have now been prepared with adjustable size, compact shell and low permeability. Our approach is based on the formation of inverse water-in-oil (w/o) emulsions stabilized solely by hydrophobic silica nanoparticles and subsequent locking of the particle at the oil-water interface by a simple sol-gel reaction of silica precursor at room temperature. The colloidosomes obtained display a robust and closed shell, ensuring a long-term retention of small hydrophilic molecules such as Methylene Blue. Remarkably, unlike all other reported silica colloidosomes, a timely and stepwise release of the encapsulated cargo can be triggered by adding ethanol or surfactant without destroying the capsule shell.

Abstract
Core-shell structured nitrogen-doped porous carbon@silica material with uniform structure and morphology was synthesized via a sol-gel method. During this process, a commercial triblock copolymer and the in situ formed pyrrole-formaldehyde polymer acted as cotemplates, while tetraethyl orthosilicate acted as silica precursor. The synergetic effect of the triblock copolymer and the pyrrole-formaldehyde polymer enables the formation of the core-shell structure. Herein, the pyrrole-formaldehyde polymer acted as not only the template, but also the nitrogen-doped carbon precursor of the core. The obtained core-shell structured porous material possesses moderate Brunauer-Emmett-Teller specific surface area (410 m2 g-1) and pore volume (0.53 cm3 g-1). Moreover, corresponding hollow silica spheres or nitrogen-doped porous carbon spheres can be synthesized by calcining the core-shell structured material in air or etching it with HF. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results reveal that the nitrogen states of the obtained material are mainly pyridinic-N and pyridonic-N/pyrrolic-N, which are beneficial for carbon dioxide adsorption. The carbon dioxide uptake capacity of the nitrogen-doped carbon spheres can reach 12.3 wt % at 273 K and 1.0 bar, meanwhile, the material shows good gas adsorption selectivities for CO2/CH4 and CO2/N2.

Abstract
Janus Pd/SiO2 nanocomposite particles (NCPs) were successfully synthesized through a combination of the sol-gel process of tetramethoxysilane in inverse miniemulsions and in situ reduction of Pd salts via a gas diffusion process of hydrazine. The formation of Pd nanoparticles (NPs) was verified by X-ray diffraction. The Janus morphology of the Pd/SiO2 NCPs was confirmed by microscopic observation. The Pd/SiO2 NCPs displayed a mesoporous structure. The content of Pd NPs in the NCPs could be conveniently adjusted by the K2PdCl4 loading. A formation mechanism of the Janus Pd/SiO2 NCPs was proposed. The mesoporous Janus Pd/SiO2 NCPs show good catalytic activity toward the reduction of p-nitrophenol with NaBH4.

Abstract
This review focuses on the recent development and various strategies in the preparation, microstructure, and magnetic properties of bare and surface functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs); their corresponding biological application was also discussed. In order to implement the practical in vivo or in vitro applications, the IONPs must have combined properties of high magnetic saturation, stability, biocompatibility, and interactive functions at the surface. Moreover, the surface of IONPs could be modified by organic materials or inorganic materials, such as polymers, biomolecules, silica, metals, etc. The new functionalized strategies, problems and major challenges, along with the current directions for the synthesis, surface functionalization and bioapplication of IONPs, are considered. Finally, some future trends and the prospects in these research areas are also discussed.

Abstract
Polymeric nanogels, inorganic nanoparticles, and organic-inorganic hybrid nanoparticles can be prepared via the inverse miniemulsion technique. Hydrophilic functional cargos, such as proteins, DNA, and macromolecular fluoresceins, may be conveniently encapsulated in these nanostructured materials. In this review, the progress of inverse miniemulsions since 2000 is summarized on the basis of the types of reactions carried out in inverse miniemulsions, including conventional free radical polymerization, controlled/living radical polymerization, polycondensation, polyaddition, anionic polymerization, catalytic oxidation reaction, sol-gel process, and precipitation reaction of inorganic precursors. In addition, the applications of the nanostructured materials synthesized in inverse miniemulsions are also reviewed.
