Functionalization of carbon nanomaterials
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łodzkiej, 2018) Mitura, K. A.; Szczypiński, M. M.; Korn, Ł.; Czerwińska, E.; Kolesińska, B.
"Nowadays, almost all food products that require transport or storage, which we buy in stores are stored in packages. The packaging still needs to be modified to meet the needs of the market and to optimize the shelf life of the product as much as possible. These requirements have meant that the packaging industry has become a dynamically developing field, and entrepreneurs making pink implement new technological solutions. In order to extend the shelf life of food, smart and active packaging is introduced to eliminate the processes that terminate products inside. Currently, many studies focus on bioactive packaging modified with various allotropic forms of carbon. Bearing in mind the excellent biological properties of the nanodiamond, it finds its application in food packaging. This paper presents the adhesive and antioxidant properties of functionalized and non-functionalized nanodiamond particles and graphene oxide (GO)."
Mathematical Model of Power Losses with Regard to Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia Treatment
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łodzkiej, 2018) Miaskowski, A.
"The aim of this study is to propose a mathematical model of single-domain magnetic power losses based on modified linear response and Stoner-Wohlfarth theories. The proposed model can be applied to numerically investigate the heat dissipation from the magnetic nanoparticles dispersed in the tumour during treatment planning. Two scenarios were considered that is the magnetic nanoparticles mobilized and the magnetic nanoparticles immobilized in the tumour. Besides, the eddy currents power losses together with the related temperature distribution were considered in order to analyze the safety issues."
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."
New strategies targeting the unfolded protein response (PERK signaling) for cancer treatment
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łodzkiej, 2018) Pytel, D.; Szulc, Z. M.; Mucha, B.; Majsterek, I.; Diehl, J. A.
"Cancer cells exhibit increased metabolism and proliferation rates. The UPR (Unfolded Protein Response) has garnered attention as a signaling network utilized by cancer cells that contributes to a number of oncogenic processes. The UPR activates three signal transducers (ATF6, IRE1 and PERK); of these the kinase PERK can both potentiate cell survival during moderate stress and provide a mechanism for recovery if cells do not commit to an apoptotic fate. Thus, dissection of the molecular mechanisms whereby PERK signaling influences."
Selective thermal ablation of cancer cells by ferromagnetic containers
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łodzkiej, 2018-11-23) Kołaciński, Z.; Raniszewski, G.; Szymański, Ł.; Pietrzak, Ł.; Wiak, S.; Frączyk, J.; Majsterek, I.; Przybyłowska-Sygut, K.; Mościcki, A.; Kamiński, Z.
"The limited effectiveness of conventional cancer treatment therapies and its detrimental effects on the body of the patient have proved that we need to look for new, better, methods of curing those fatal diseases. There is an indisputable need for introducing a localized treatment that would be harmful only to malignant cells, leaving the healthy ones unscathed. The paper shows one of the ways how to do it."
Synthesis of carbon ferromagnetic filled nanocontainers using CVD technique
(Wydawnictwo Politechniki Łódzkiej, 2018-11-23) Pietrzak, Ł.; Wąs, Ł.; Wyczechowski, M.; Raniszewski, G.; Gmyrek, Z.; Firych-Nowacka, A.; Smółka, K.
"In this article iron filled multi-walled carbon nanotubes (Fe-MWCNTs) synthesis using LS-CVD (Liquid Source Chemical Vapour Deposition) technique is presented. Described synthesis process has been chosen because of easy process parameters alteration, allowing to obtain a carbon nanotubes with the desired properties, such as type of carbon nanotubes (changing catalyst and process parameters) – SWCNTs or MWCNTs and physical properties like length, diameter and encapsulated inside Fe content. Tailoring material properties is the key to use Fe-MWCNTs in medicine for the cancer diagnostics and therapy e.g. hyperthermia process. In the paper both optimization of synthesis process leading to high purity, high iron content nanocontainers production and characterization of obtained material is presented."
