Resumen:
Nowadays, there is much interest among the
academic and industrial scientific community in coated and noncoated magnetic nanoparticles
[1]. These nanoparticles, because of their high surface area and unique magnetic
properties, have a broad range of potential uses in biomedical applications
(e.g., drug delivery [2-3] and biosensors [4],) as well as nonbiomedical
applications (e.g., for removal of metal ions [5]). For many of the
aforementioned applications, the surface modification of iron oxide
nanoparticles has a large influence on their stability and durability in
different environments. In addition, dendritic structures are precise quantized, three-dimensional nanostructures that have proved to be useful for
functionalization of metallic surfaces due to their monodisperse
nature that provides precisely controlled size, shape and functionality [6].
In this work, a synthetic pathway was developed to
obtain dendritic molecule-coated magnetic nanoparticles. Figure 1 shows the
synthetic strategy used. Briefly, maghemite magnetic iron oxide (g-Fe2O3)
nanoparticles NPs were modified with 3-(aminopropyl)trimethoxysilane (APS) as silane
coupling agent [7]. Afterwards, dendritic
molecule (D NO2) were covalently attached to the modified NPs,
achieving nitro-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles. Infrared spectroscopy
(FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and transmission electronic
microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the derivatised
surface.
Figure 1. Synthetic pathway used in
order to obtain D NO2-coated magnetic nanoparticles.
Subsequently,
immobilization of the dendritic molecule-coated NPs onto carbon surfaces (GC
and HOPG) was investigated. Attachment
of the dendron was followed through the observation of the electrochemical signal
of reporting groups such as the nitro group, as was previously reported [8].
