Pozycja Natural ceramic nanoparticles ‒ layered aluminosilicates as an active phase of polymer nanocomposites and their potential application in medicine(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łodzkiej, 2018-11-23) Stodolak-Zych, E.; Dzierzkowska, E.; Rapacz-Kmita, A."Developing knowledge in the field of nanotechnology and its potential medical applications in many cases may provide solutions that both patients and doctors expect. However, one should be aware that the application of nanotechnology entails the need to answer a number of bothering questions about the safety of using nanoparticles as well as nanomaterials based on them. The excess surface energy of materials at the nanometer scale, resulting from the strongly developed surface, can be used as a carrier of drugs, proteins, e.g. enzymes or antigens. Particularly interesting here are the naturally occurring layered aluminosilicates (e.g. smectites), whose variety of forms, availability, ease of extraction, as well as the repetition of purification and the possibility of chemical modification, allow the use as stand-alone nanoparticles, but also as fillers in the polymeric phase. The paper presents the possibilities of using aluminosilicate particles based on montmorillonite (MMT) and kaolinite (K) in biomedical applications."
