Abstract
The efficiency of photothermal therapy based on conventional Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) is limited due to their low absorption in the near-infrared (NIR) region. To surmount this obstacle, α-Fe nanoparticles/multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) composite is synthesized by incipient wetness impregnation (IWI). Due to improved extinction and heat generation mechanism (plasmons/electrons thermalization) of metallic Fe NPs with in nanocomposite structure, the photothermal conversion efficiency of Fe/MWCNTs composite is 87.98% (content: 60 μg/mL, 808 nm at power density of 1 W/cm2), which is highest among the previously reported Fe3O4 and other carbon-based nanostructures. The HaCaT cell viability after 72 h of coculturing is more than 91%, indicating the good biocompatibility of nanocomposite. The viability of B16-F10 melanoma cells is only 9.78% (808 nm laser irradiation for 15 min at 0.33 W/cm2), demonstrating the potential for hands-on applications.
期刊介绍:
ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications.
The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
