Magnetically Guided Titania Nanotubes for Site-Selective Photocatalysis and Drug Release

Quick release: The spatial and temporal delivery of active molecules (dyes or drugs) can be precisely controlled by the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanotubes (see picture). The cleavage of the link between the active molecule and the nanotubes, which are filled with magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles,...

Zusammenfassung:Quick release: The spatial and temporal delivery of active molecules (dyes or drugs) can be precisely controlled by the photocatalytic activity of TiO2 nanotubes (see picture). The cleavage of the link between the active molecule and the nanotubes, which are filled with magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles, occurs by photoinduced chain scission under UV light; the load can be released before photodegradation by action of photogenerated radicals can occur.
