Abstract
Green synthesis of iron nanoparticles is a highly fascinating research area and has gained importance due to reliable, sustainable and ecofriendly protocol for synthesizing nanoparticles, along with the easy availability of plant materials and their pharmacological significance. As an alternate to physical and chemical synthesis, the biological materials, like microorganisms and plants are considered to be less costly and environment-friendly. Iron nanoparticles with diverse morphology and size have been synthesized using biological extracts. Microbial (bacteria, fungi, algae etc.) and plant extracts have been employed in green synthesis of iron nanoparticles due to the presence of various metabolites and biomolecules. Physical and biochemical properties of biologically synthesized iron nanoparticles are superior to that are synthesized using physical and chemical agents. Iron nanoparticles have magnetic property with thermal and electrical conductivity. Iron nanoparticles below a certain size (generally 10-20 nm), can exhibit a unique form of magnetism called superparamagnetism. They are non-toxic and highly dispersible with targeted delivery, which are suitable for efficient drug delivery to the target. Green synthesized iron nanoparticles have been explored for multifarious biotechnological applications. These iron nanoparticles exhibited antimicrobial and anticancerous properties. Iron nanoparticles adversely affect the cell viability, division and metabolic activity. Iron nanoparticles have been used in the purification and immobilization of various enzymes/proteins. Iron nanoparticles have shown potential in bioremediation of various organic and inorganic pollutants. This review describes various biological sources used in the green synthesis of iron nanoparticles and their potential applications in biotechnology, diagnostics and mitigation of environmental pollutants.

Superhydrophobic SLA 3D printed materials modified with nanoparticles biomimicking the hierarchical structure of a rice leaf. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY OF ADVANCED MATERIALS 2022; 23:300-321.

Abstract
The rice leaf, combining the surface properties of lotus leaves and shark skin, presents outstanding superhydrophobic properties motivating its biomimesis. We created a novel biomimetic rice-leaf superhydrophobic surface by a three-level hierarchical structure, using for a first time stereolithographic (SLA) 3D printed channels (100µm width) with an intrinsic roughness from the printing filaments (10µm), and coated with TiO2 nanoparticles (22 and 100nm). This structure presents a maximum advancing contact angle of 165° characterized by lower both anisotropy and hysteresis contact angles than other 3D printed surfaces, due to the presence of air pockets at the surface/water interface (Cassie-Baxter state). Dynamic water-drop tests show that the biomimetic surface presents self-cleaning, which is reduced under UV-A irradiation. The biomimetic surface further renders an increased floatability to 3D printed objects meaning a drag-reduction due to reduced water/solid contact area. Numerical simulations of a channel with a biomimetic wall confirm that the presence of air is essential to understand our results since it increases the average velocity and decreases the friction factor due to the presence of a wall-slip velocity. Our findings show that SLA 3D printing is an appropriate approach to develop biomimetic superhydrophobic surfaces for future applications in anti-fouling and drag-reduction devices.

Abstract
Detecting pesticide residues in human serum is a challenging process due to trace-level chronic exposure. Several methods using magnetic adsorbents have been developed for analyzing pesticide residue levels in human serum, but it is still difficult to achieve lower quantitative levels, and the adsorption mechanism for extracting pesticides is unclear. Herein, we propose a feasibility concept of using C18-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles for the adsorption of target pesticides, focusing on the extensively used weakly polar pesticides based on molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. To support this, the facilitated target nanoparticles of Fe3O4@SiO2-C18 were synthesized at a size of 12-13 nm with a magnetic saturation of 40 emu/g. After optimizing and establishing the extraction conditions (1.8 mL C18 modifier, 10 mg sorbents, 3 min adsorption time, 1000 μL ACN for desorption eluent at pH 3.8 and 5 min desorption time), which exhibited recovery = 72.3%-118.3% with RSDs = 0.03-6.57, linearity at 0.01-10 ng/mL with R2 = 0.9561-0.9993, and LODs = 0.01-0.30 ng/mL for the 11 weakly polar pesticides in human serum. Furthermore, the mechanism by which the C18 group selectively extracts weakly polar pesticides was confirmed by binding van der Waals and electrostatic interactions under stable and strong binding energy. The extraction process of efficient adsorption and desorption with C18 functional magnetite nanoparticles suggests a simple method for detecting weakly polar pesticides. The concept may lead to a general approach to analyzing multiple pesticide residues in human serum at trace levels.

Abstract
In this paper, we synthesized superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) functionalized with (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (Fe3O4@APTES). The synthesized NPs were coated with succinic anhydride (Fe3O4@COOH) in the next step. Half the surface of the NPs was shielded with wax microparticles via the Pickering emulsion technique, and the unshielded side was covered with poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether. Platinum nanoparticles (Pt NPs) were deposited between PEG chains by the oxidation-reduction method through an in situ procedure to obtain a metal-polymer composite. These deposited Pt NPs have the potential to catalyze the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide at the surface of Janus nanomotors (JNMs). After de-waxing of the NPs, Irgacure 2959 (as the initiator) was reacted with the bare side of the NPs to provide the opportunity to grow poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) chains on the surface of the nanomotors through the "grafting from" method. The diffusion coefficient and velocity of the JNMs (before and after the PCL reaction) in the aqueous solution of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10% (w/w) hydrogen peroxide and in the presence of different concentrations of NaCl solutions (0, 5, and 10% (w/v)) were investigated by mean square displacement analysis for single-particle or collective motions of JNMs. In addition, the simultaneous effect of an external magnetic field and the NaCl concentration on the movement direction of JNMs was also evaluated in the presence of hydrogen peroxide (10%). Increasing the ionic strength through NaCl addition permits the JNMs to move with relatively lower amounts of fuel [i.e., 2% (w/w)]. The collective motion investigation of the JNMs showed the highest speed in the media with 10% (w/w) hydrogen peroxide and 5% (w/v) NaCl solution (about 1215.78 μm2/s) due to the surfactant effect of the Janus architecture.

Abstract
Exploring signal amplification strategies to enhance the sensitivity of lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is of great significance for point-of-care (POC) testing of low-concentrated targets in the field of in vitro diagnostics. Here, a highly-sensitive LFIA platform using compact and hierarchical magneto-fluorescent assemblies as both target-enrichment substrates and optical sensing labels is demonstrated. The large-pored dendritic templates are utilized for high-density incorporation of both superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IOs) and quantum dots (QDs) within the vertical channels. The hierarchical structure is built via affinity-driven assembly of IOs and QDs from organic phase with silica surface and mercapto-organosilica intermediate layer, respectively. The sequential assembly with central-radial channels enables 3D loading of dual components and separately controlling of discrete functionalities. After the alkyl-organosilica encapsulation and silica sealing, the composite spheres exhibit high stabilities and compatibility with LFIA for procalcitonin (PCT) detection. With the assistance of liquid-phase antigen-capturing, magnetic enrichment, and fluorescence-signal amplification, a limit of detection of 0.031 ng mL-1 for PCT is achieved with a linear range from 0.012 to 10 ng mL-1 . The current LFIA is robust and validated for PCT detection in real serum, which holds great diagnostic significance for precise guidance of antibiotic therapy with POC manner.

Abstract
Many studies have so far confirmed the efficiency of phytochemicals in the treatment of prostate cancer. Eupatorin, a flavonoid with a wide range of phytomedical activities, suppresses proliferation of and induces apoptosis of multiple cancer cell lines. However, low solubility, poor bioavailability, and rapid degradation limit its efficacy. The aim of our study was to evaluate whether the use of mPEG-b-poly (lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) coated iron oxide nanoparticles as a carrier could enhance the therapeutic efficacy of eupatorin in DU-145 and LNcaP human prostate cancer cell lines. Nanoparticles were prepared by the co-precipitation method and were fully characterized for morphology, surface charge, particle size, drug loading, encapsulation efficiency and in vitro drug-release profile. The inhibitory effect of nanoparticles on cell viability was evaluated by MTT test. Apoptosis was then determined by Hoechest staining, cell cycle analysis, NO production, annexin/propidium iodide (PI) assay, and Western blotting. The results indicated that eupatorin was successfully entrapped in Fe3O4@mPEG-b-PLGA nanoparticles with an efficacy of (90.99 ± 2.1)%. The nanoparticle’s size was around (58.5 ± 4) nm with a negative surface charge [(−34.16 ± 1.3) mV]. In vitro release investigation showed a 30% initial burst release of eupatorin in 24 h, followed by sustained release over 200 h. The MTT assay indicated that eupatorin-loaded Fe3O4@mPEG-b-PLGA nanoparticles exhibited a significant decrease in the growth rate of DU-145 and LNcaP cells and their IC50 concentrations were 100 μM and 75 μM, respectively. Next, apoptosis was confirmed by nuclear condensation, enhancement of cell population in the sub-G1 phase and increased NO level. Annexin/PI analysis demonstrated that eupatorin-loaded Fe3O4@mPEG-b-PLGA nanoparticles could increase apoptosis and decrease necrosis frequency. Finally, Western blotting analysis confirmed these results and showed that Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and the cleaved caspase-3 level were up-regulated by the designing nanoparticles. Encapsulation of eupatorin in Fe3O4@mPEG-b-PLGA nanoparticles increased its anticancer effects in prostate cancer cell lines as compared to free eupatorin. Based on these results, this formulation can provide a sustained eupatorin-delivery system for cancer treatment with the drug remaining active at a significantly lower dose, making it a suitable candidate for pharmacological uses. In the current study, Eupatorin was efficiently encapsulated in mPEG-b-PLGA coated iron oxide nanoparticles. The nanoparticles bypass the limitations and provide a sustained release of Eupatorin into the human prostate cancer cell. The designed nanoparticles can be more effective in inhibiting cancer cell growth as compared to free form.

Physical Foaming and Crosslinking of Polyethylene with Modified Talcum. Polymers (Basel) 2019; 11:polym11091472.

Abstract
The aim of this study was the investigation of the use of modified talcum for supporting crosslinking and as novel nucleating agent for physical foaming of polyethylene. For the modification of the talcum, a thermal initiator was linked to the talcum surface. During the extrusion process, the initiator decomposes, and gas and radicals are formed. The gas generates the nucleation of cells and the radicals support the crosslinking process between the polymer chains. The modification of the talcum was performed in three steps: The first step was the grafting of alkoxysilanes onto the talcum surface. The second step was the chlorination of the thermal initiator for an easier linkage, and the last step was the linking between the initiator and the silanes grafted onto the talcum surface. For this study, two investigations were carried out. One investigation was the analysis of the crosslinking effect with the modified talcum. For this purpose, polyethylene plates were compression molded and the viscoelastic properties were measured with a parallel plate rheometer. The use of the modified talcum led to a higher crosslinking density. The second investigation was the physical foaming experiment in an extrusion process with nitrogen as blowing agent using both a pure and the modified talcum as nucleating agents. The foamed samples were characterized in terms of density, cell size and cell density, and compared with each other. The blend with the modified nucleating agent indicated a foam structure with a smaller mean cell size and a lower density compared to the use of the pristine nucleating agent.

Abstract
Passing the Blood-Brain-Barrier (BBB) is a challenging aspect in nanomedicine. Utilizing surfactant particles is reported to be a potent strategy for easier BBB penetration. On the other hand, loading different functional molecules on a single particle is therapeutically and economically beneficial. In this study, multifunctional amphiphilic Janus nanoparticles have been prepared on the basis of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. This Janus platform is armed with folic acid targeting agent and Doxorubicin (DOX) drug that have been conjugated on different sides of the nanoparticles. DOX has been conjugated via imine bond that makes these particles pH sensitive. Chemo-physical characters, in-vitro drug release pattern and toxicity of nanoparticles on rat C6 glioma cell line were studied that confirmed the preparation and pH-dependent behavior of nanoparticles. Microscopy observations showed the Janus morphology of nanoparticles and their cell penetration behavior. Prepared Janus nanoparticle can be utilized as a multifunctional nanomedicine platform for brain cancer treatment.

Abstract
This project aimed to investigate the synthesis and characteristics of stimuli-responsive nanoparticles with different morphologies. In the first step, graphene oxide was synthesized based on the improved Hummers' method. Then, thermo-responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-N-(hydroxymethyl)acrylamide), an amphiphilic copolymer, and poly(caprolactone) (PCL), a hydrophobic polymer, were used to prepare Janus and mixed graphene oxide-based nanoparticles. Fluorescence microscopy was utilized to confirm the Janus structure by labeling the mixed and Janus NPs with fluorescent hydrophobic and hydrophilic dyes via a solvent-evaporation method. Then, terminally modified carboxyl porphyrin (TPPC3-COOH), used as the second generation photosensitizer, was grafted to the copolymer surrounding the mixed and Janus NPs. Next, quercetin, a hydrophobic anti-cancer drug, was loaded onto both NPs to accomplish NIR-triggered photodynamic- and chemo-therapy. Finally, the drug loading, encapsulation efficiency, and in vitro release of thermo-responsive NPs were investigated at temperatures of 37 °C and 40 °C as well as under laser irradiation (808 nm). This project aimed to investigate the synthesis and characteristics of stimuli-responsive nanoparticles with different morphologies.![]()

Abstract
Hybrid nanomaterials based on inorganic nanoparticles and polymers are highly interesting structures since they combine synergistically the advantageous physical-chemical properties of both inorganic and polymeric components, providing superior functionality to the final material. These unique properties motivate the intensive study of these materials from a multidisciplinary view with the aim of finding novel applications in technological and biomedical fields. Choosing a specific synthetic methodology that allows for control over the surface composition and its architecture, enables not only the examination of the structure/property relationships, but, more importantly, the design of more efficient nanodevices for therapy and diagnosis in nanomedicine. The current review categorizes hybrid nanomaterials into three types of architectures: core-brush, hybrid nanogels, and core-shell. We focus on the analysis of the synthetic approaches that lead to the formation of each type of architecture. Furthermore, most recent advances in therapy and diagnosis applications and some inherent challenges of these materials are herein reviewed.

Abstract
In this study, a novel technique was introduced for selective surface modification of amine-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles. The method was based on alignment of magnetic nanoparticles in an external magnetic field, which resulted in formation of chain-like assemblies in diluted suspensions. The aligned chains were then modified on the surface via reaction of isocyanate species with the particle functionalities. Finally, after removal from the reactor medium, particles with segmented distribution of surface functionalities were achieved. We named these partially blocked amine-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles as "Saturn" nanoparticles. Application of the particles in fabrication of magnetic assemblies was successfully demonstrated. Using methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI) as the bridging agent, structures in different forms such as chains and filaments were produced by the Saturn particles and compared with cross-linked structures of the unmodified amine-functionalized particles. It is expected that this novel nanoparticle with its unique structure will have great potential in assembly fabrication with a variety of applications in biomedical fields.
