The Preparation of CdTe-Fe3O4@CS Nanoparticles and its Application for Drug Carrying

Article Preview

Abstract:

Novel multifunctional core shell structure CdTe-Fe3O4@CS drug nanocarriers were developed. The water soluble Fe3O4 nanoparticle was prepared by chemical coprecipitation method. The highly fluorescent CdTe QDs were prepared by refluxing method. The prepared Fe3O4 and CdTe QDs nanoparticles were capped with chitosan by ionic gel method to form multifunctional nanomaterials. After processing parameters affecting the end product properties were systematically optimized, folic acid, a model drug, was successfully incorporated into the polymeric complex.
