Creation of magnetic cerasomes through electroless plating and their manipulation using external magnetic fields

Selective Electroless Metallization of Patterned Polymeric Films for Lithography Applications

“…Meanwhile, Bittner and co-workers have utilized PD1 for selective EL Co plating of μCP-patterned PAMAM amine dendrimer ligands on bare Si wafers and developed PD1 analogues capable of selectively plating the interior of a tobacco mosaic virus template, affording continuous EL Co or Ni nanowires having diameters as small as ∼3 nm , . The use of other colloidal PD1 derivatives, prepared via hydrolysis of palladium(II) salts in pH ∼2.5−7.0 aqueous solutions containing various amounts of added chloride ion, has also been reported for EL metallization of ZnO , lipid cerasome membrane , , chitosan − , aminosiloxane SAM−diamond , and aminosiloxane-modified or amine plasma-modified polyimide films.…”

 Progress of Liposomal Nanohybrid Cerasomes as Novel Drug Nanocarriers

“…The magnetic cerasomes with unique magnetic properties were capable of manipulation by a magnet, having great potential to perform as ideal drug carriers for selective targeting with external magnetic fields. [46] Therefore, the combination of functionalized cerasomes with anticancer drugs is expected to construct a targeted drug carrier system for the delivery of drug molecules to desird location.…”

Cerasomes: A New Family of Artificial Cell Membranes with Ceramic Surface

“…Metallosomes with an Au layer were also successfully obtained by electroless Ni/Au substitution plating of Ni-metallosomes. A magnetic cerasome, an artificial cell membrane having ultrathin magnetic metallic layers on the surface, was prepared through electroless plating of a magnetic metal alloy onto a cerasome (Minamida et al, 2008). Figure 7 shows three-dimensional images of a magnetic cerasome derived from lipid (2), as observed by TEM tomography.…”
