Functionalization of γ-alumina cores by polyvinylpirrolidone: properties of the resulting biocompatible nanoparticles in aqueous suspension
Source abstract
Abstract
A biocompatible polymer has been used to functionalize 45–50 nm diameter γ-alumina nanoparticles. Because the target was to use these systems in real applications, polyvinylpirrolidone (PVP) was chosen due to the characteristics of non-toxicity, biocompatibility, and feasibility of this polymer to form complexes with many cations and chemical species. This approach allows the use of these materials in medicine and food, textile, or pharmaceutical industry. The functionalization process required a previous attachment of an active group on the surface of the nanoparticles. Subsequently, a polymer chain was generated in situ, using vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS) and 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (VP) as reactives. The morphology and topology of the nanocompound has been characterized in aqueous suspensions, attending to possible applications in this medium. The results obtained from the different techniques show that the polymer chain was successfully grafted to the nanoparticle surface, and allow an estimation of the size of the modified particle. Their electrical and conformational behavior have also been studied in different aqueous chemical environments.
