Chalcone dendrimer stabilized core–shell nanoparticles—a comparative study on Co@TiO₂, Ag@TiO₂ and Co@AgCl nanoparticles for antibacterial and antifungal activity

Application of Core/Shell Nanoparticles in Smart Farming: A Paradigm Shift for Making the Agriculture Sector More Sustainable

“…Ag + released from the silver core and antimicrobial activity of the cationic polymer chitosan shell dually resulted in profound growth inhibition in Phytopthora sp. Similarly, core/shell structures stabilized with chalcone dendrimer showed huge antimicrobial activity against medically and agriculturally important microorganisms . The study revealed that among Co/AgCl, Ag/TiO 2 , and Co/TiO 2 core/shell nanostructures, Co/AgCl had the highest effect against tested microbial pathogens like Aspergillus niger .…”

Inorganic nanoparticle-cored dendrimers for biomedical applications: A review

“…In a similar context, Vijayalakshmi et al developed Ag@TiO 2 and Co@AgCl NPs stabilized with a zeroth generation triazolylchalcone dendrimer. The positioning of Ag and Ag + ions on the surface of Co@AgCl, rather than the core as observed in Ag@TiO 2 , resulted in enhanced antibacterial activity for Co@AgCl due to the inherent antibacterial properties of these ions [ 122 ].…”

Synthesis, Photochemical, Electrochemical and Cytotoxic Studies on Azobenzene Cored Dendrimer Decorated with Chalcone Motif

“…Introduction of the azobenzene moiety in the dendritic architecture can alter the photoisomerisation effect, molecular rigidity and non‐covalent interactions while increasing the generation . The lower generation azobenzene cored dendrimers can act as a stabilizer in synthesis of the core‐shell nano particles . Hence, the azobenzene cored chalcone dendrimers would be of great interest.…”
