Journal ArticleDOI

Bio-inspired encapsulation and functionalization of iron oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications

TL;DR: Recent advances in the development of FeO-NPs from fabrication to applications and the state-of-the-arts synthetic routes are discussed, with special attention to the biopolymer surface functionalization of FeNPs now and future perspective of drug delivery in oncologic disease therapy chiefly cancer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of PVA, PVP and PEG doping on the optical, structural, morphological and magnetic properties of zinc ferrite nanoparticles produced by thermal method

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of surface doping by three different polymers on the synthesis of zinc ferrite nanostructures by a thermal method was investigated, which showed an obvious increase in the crystallite size, functional groups, spherical morphology, and superparamagnetic behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surface-modified mucoadhesive microgels as a controlled release system for miconazole nitrate to improve localized treatment of vulvovaginal candidiasis

TL;DR: The use of conventional vaginal formulations of miconazole nitrate (MN) in the treatment of deep-seated VVC (vulvovaginal candidiasis) is limited by poor penetration capacity and low solubility of MN, short residence time and irritation at the application site as mentioned in this paper.
