Heat Dissipation of Hybrid Iron Oxide-Gold Nanoparticles in an Agar Phantom (2015)
Journal Article
Curtis, A., Malekigorji, M., Holman, J., Skidmore, M., & Hoskins, C. (2015). Heat Dissipation of Hybrid Iron Oxide-Gold Nanoparticles in an Agar Phantom. Journal of Nanomedicine and Nanotechnology, 6(6), https://doi.org/10.4172/2157-7439.1000335

Hybrid iron oxide-gold nanoparticles (HNPs) have shown potential in cancer therapy as agents for tumour ablation and thermal switches for targeted drug release. Heat generation occurs by exploitation of the surface plasmon resonance of the gold coati... Read More about Heat Dissipation of Hybrid Iron Oxide-Gold Nanoparticles in an Agar Phantom.

Potential use of hybrid iron oxide gold nanoparticles as drug carriers (2015)
Book Chapter
Curtis, A., & Hoskins, C. Potential use of hybrid iron oxide gold nanoparticles as drug carriers. In Nano Based Drug Delivery (535-546). IAPC Publishing (International Association of Physical Chemists). https://doi.org/10.5599/obp.8.21

Hybrid nanoparticles are composed of more than one material fused together to increase functionality. These often consist of polymers coated onto the surface of metallic nanoparticles to render them useful in biomedicine [1,2]. In this chapter the te...

Simple Calix[n]arenes and Calix[4]resorcinarenes as Drug Solubilizing Agents (2015)
Journal Article
Hoskins, C., & Curtis, A. D. Simple Calix[n]arenes and Calix[4]resorcinarenes as Drug Solubilizing Agents. Journal of Nanomedicine Research, 2(3), https://doi.org/10.15406/jnmr.2015.02.00028

Many drug molecules have low solubility in aqueous media and, hence, poor bioavailability. The formation of a host-guest complex with some other compound which has a good solubility profile can facilitate solubilization of hydrophobic drugs. Complex...
