  Nanoparticle Chemistry: The Synthesis, Properties and Applications of Polymer and Macromolecule-Based Nanoparticles and Their Composites

  By Papireddigari Pravallika, Shaik Ibrahim Khalivulla

  Abstract: Nanoparticles have arisen as a transformative branch of materials in chemistry, owing to their unique physicochemical and biological properties that vary from their bulk materials. Various synthesis techniques, including physical (e.g., laser ablation), chemical (e.g., sol-gel, co-precipitation) and biological (e.g., microbial or plant-mediated) approaches, offer control over particle size, shape and surface characteristics. These methods influence the optical, electronic, catalytic and mechanical properties of nanoparticles. Nanoparticles can exhibit high surface …

  The Impact of Nanotechnology in Transforming Neuro-oncology - A Comprehensive Review

  By Akbar J, Gunapati Rama Mohan Reddy, Venkata Prasanna DP, Jagatheesan Alagesan, Rajameena R, Prathapavarma Digala, Shaik Ibrahim Khalivulla

  Abstract: The treatment of central nervous system (CNS) tumours, including aggressive malignancies like glioblastoma, faces significant challenges. The blood–brain barrier (BBB) blocks nearly 98% of small-molecule drugs from achieving therapeutic levels in the brain, and the heterogeneity of these tumours frequently contributes to treatment resistance and poor outcomes. Traditional approaches, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are hindered by systemic toxicity and inadequate drug penetration. Nanotechnology provides a promising alternative, as nanoparticles (NPs) …
