Rational Design and Development of Reactive Multifunctional Micellar Composite Nano-particles for Destruction of Bio-agents

Abstract

Due to increasing demand of efficient destruction of bio-agent, multi functional composites have been recently investigated for destruction of bio-agents. Their materials have efficient destruction and neutralization of targeted biomolecules ( chemical warfare agents, bio-agents, and other toxics) by combined effects of aero-oxidation, electro-oxidation, photo-catalytic oxidation and absorption. Four types of multifunction composites (Au-metal oxide core-shell nanoparticles, , multifunction porous metal oxide-silica composites, porous silicon - Titania and PSi-silver heterojunctions ) have been successfully synthesized to meet with the large scale synthesis and efficient co-encapsulation of one or more agents.
