Incorporation of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles and Quantum Dots into Silica Microspheres
2008
We describe the synthesis of magnetic and fluorescent silica microspheres fabricated by incorporating maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles (MPs) and CdSe/CdZnS core/shell quantum dots (QDs) into a silica shell around preformed silica microspheres. The resultant ∼500 nm microspheres have a narrow size distribution and show uniform incorporation of QDs and MPs into the shell. We have demonstrated manipulation of these microspheres using an external magnetic field with real-time fluorescence microscopy imaging.
