NANOTECHNOLOGY- BASICS AND ITS APPLICATION IN MEDICINE Keith ó Proinsias What is Nanotechnology? What is Nanotechnology? • Nanoscience: involves research and technology development at 1nm to 100nm range (nanoscale) • Nanotechnology creates and uses structures that have novel properties because of their small size • Nanotechnology builds on the ability to control or manipulate at atomic scale What is Nanotechnology? History The word “Nanotechnology” is new, its existance has been around for a long time History • Abalone • Mollusk • Strong shell, consisting of organised calcium carbonate into strong nanostructured bricks History • 29 th December , 1959 • At the annual meeting of the American Physical Society at California Institute of Technology “There’s plenty of room at the bottom” • Richard P. Feynman • Known as the “father of nanotechology” Why Nanotechnology? Applications • Medical • Bio-materials • Drug delivery • Energy and industrial • Solar / Fuel Cells • Lighting • Coating and powders • Paint • Textiles • Devices and microelectronics • Sensors • Microprocessors / memory and storage Outline Nanoparticles Quantum dots Nanotubes Fabrication [...]... electrode form nanotubes on the negative electrode • Chemical vapor deposition: decomposition of hydrocarbon gas (CH4) at 110oC Nanomedicine Nanomedicine Nanomedicine: is the medical application of nanotechnology Nanoshells Nanogels Nanorobotics Nanomedicine Advantages: • Suitable for encapsulation • Release drugs in a controlled manner • More efficient uptake of cells ... through direct and indirect mediation • Applied in light harvesting Nano lett., 2002, 2, 965-968 Carbon Nanotubes • Sheets of graphite rolled into a tube • Single walled nanotubes (SWNT) can have a diameter of 2nm and a length of 100µm • There are different types of carbon nanotube structures, a) armchair b) zigzag c) chiral Carbon Nanotubes • Applications: • Field Emissions • Conductive plastics •... Carbon Nanotubes and Porphyrins • Prepared carbon nanotubes linked to Zn-porphyrins via the click reaction • Applied in light harvesting J Am Chem Soc., 2009, 131, 15394-15402 • Covalently bonded porphyrins to carbon nanotubes • Construct novel photovoltaic devices and light-harvesting systems J Am Chem Soc., 2005, 127, 6916-6917 Fabrication at nano scale Two approaches to fabricating at nano scale,...Nanoparticles • A nanoparticle is a microscopic particle with at least one dimension less than 100nm • Nanoparticles are of great scientific interest as they are effectively a bridge between bulk materials and atomic or molecular structures • Gold nanoparticles exhibit vast medical/health advantages www.sciencedaily.com/articles/n/nanoparticle.htm Quantum Dots • Semiconducting... Nanotubes • Three methods: • Laser evaporation: within a quartz tube containing argon gas and the graphite target, its heated to 1200oC • Carbon arc: a potential is applied across two carbon electrodes under 500 torr of pressure Carbon atom from the positive electrode form nanotubes on the negative electrode • Chemical vapor deposition: decomposition of hydrocarbon gas (CH4) at 110oC Nanomedicine Nanomedicine... systems J Am Chem Soc., 2005, 127, 6916-6917 Fabrication at nano scale Two approaches to fabricating at nano scale, 1 Top Down 2 Bottom Up Nano Scale Fabrication: Top Down • • • • Similar to a sculptor cutting away at a block of mable Begins at large scale and ends with a nano scaled product Used in the computer industry in creating microprocessors Utilizes a techniques such as, • Colloidal synthesis • Epitoxy... coated with radiation-sensitive resist • The resist material usually consists of polymer polymethyl methacrylate • The resist is then removed • The surface is chemically treated to produce the nanostructure Nano Scale Fabrication: Bottom Down • Employs “self-assembly” process • Under specific conditions the atoms and molecules arrange themselves into the product Self Assembly • • • Originated from .
