[nanoPost] Method for the insertion of catalytic nanoparticles into mesoporous materials

Surface modification: modified the surface of nanoparticles by binding to the surface alcohols, carboxylic acids, thiols and many other functional groups. Main interest was the modification of magnetic nanoparticles;

Controlled release system: Have a method to sonicate proteins and to form proteinaceous microspheres (lately also nanospheres). In these spheres can encapsulate a drug. For example, in a microsphere made of BSA (bovine serum albumin) have encapsulated an anti-biotic drug (tetracyclin). Anti-bodies were also converted into microspheres. The next step will be encapsulation of a drug in the anti-body (not done yet). The release is done either naturally, namely, leaking of the drug through the pores or by an enzyme like trypsin;

Coatings: Nano Titania, anti-microbial and other products. Can form 1nm gold particles coating on the surface of titania (P25) particles.
