Cyclodextrin-Based Nanosponges: A Critical Review

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2017
Cyclodextrin-based nanosponges (CD-NS) are innovative cross-linked cyclodextrin polymers nanostructured within three-dimensional network. CD-NS are highly porous nanoparticles characterized by crystalline or amorphous structure, spherical shape and swelling properties. Different cross-linkers provide variety of nanosponges.

Plasmonic Horizon in Gold Nanosponges

Nano Letters, 2018
An electromagnetic wave impinging on a gold nanosponge coherently excites many electromagnetic hot-spots inside the nanosponge, yielding a polarization-dependent scattering spectrum. In contrast, a hole, recombining with an electron, can locally excite plasmonic hot-spots only within a horizon given by the lifetime of localized plasmons and the speed ...

Nanosponges for hydrogen storage

Journal of Materials Chemistry, 2012
Hydrogen storage by physisorption is a very promising technique due to its fast kinetics and full reversibility. The key to reach high storage capacities is high specific surface area. Extremely large surface areas can only be achieved by materials with high porosity, i.e., nanosponges like MOF-177 (4239 m2 g−1) and DUT-23(Co) (4850 m2 g−1).

Nanosponges for water purification

Clean Products and Processes, 2000
We synthesized a new class of organic nanoporous polymers using cyclodextrins as basic building blocks. These processible nanoporous polymers were named 'nanosponges' because they have nanometer-size pores (distribution 0.7–1.2 nm) and exhibit superior ability to absorb organic molecules in water. Cyclodextrin cavities provide a hydrophobic environment

Metal Oxide “Nanosponges” as Chemical Sensors: Highly Sensitive Detection of Hydrogen with Nanosponge Titania

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2007
Semiconducting metal oxides are widely considered as the most promising platform for solid-state gas sensors. Due to enhanced responsiveness of conductance to surface effects in low dimensional nanostructures, various forms of nanostructured metal oxides have been synthesized and their sensing properties studied.

The application of nanosponges to cancer drug delivery

Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery, 2014
The design of new nanocarriers as a strategy for the delivery of anti-cancer drugs offers a potential platform to overcome some limitations of current clinical treatments and to achieve targeted release into tumour tissues. Cyclodextrin-based nanosponges are a novel nanosized delivery system composed of hyper-cross-linked cyclodextrins connected in a ...

Nanosponge formulations as oxygen delivery systems

International Journal of Pharmaceutics, 2010
Three types of cyclodextrin nanosponges were synthetized cross-linking α, β or γ cyclodextrin with carbonyldiimidazole as cross-linker. Nanosponges are solid nanoparticles previously used as drug carriers. In this studies cyclodextrin nanosponges were developed as oxygen delivery system.
