Novel Composite Proven Efficient in Cancer Treatment


At the little-explored intersection of organic and inorganic chemistry, a new material made could not only allow highly powerful solar panels but could also guide the next generation of cancer treatments.



Having been explained in a Nature Chemistry journal that has been recently reported, the composite is composed of ultra-tiny silicon nanoparticles and an organic element directly linked to those utilized in OLED televisions. It has the potential to increase the speed with which two molecules have the potential to exchange energy and transform lower-energy light into higher-energy light.

Just a handful of laboratories in the world have the potential to make silicon nanoparticles with the correct specifications. One of those laboratories has been guided by Lorenzo Mangolini, a mechanical engineering and materials science professor at the University of California-Riverside, who assisted in inventing the process for producing them.

High-energy light, like ultraviolet laser light, can potentially develop free radicals that can attack cancer tissue. But UV light does not travel so far into tissues to produce therapeutic radicals next to the tumor site. On the contrary, near-infrared light gets penetrated deeply into the body but does not have sufficient energy to produce the radicals.

With the availability of the new material, the research group has illustrated it is possible to obtain the emission of light having greater energy compared to the one aimed at the material, called photon up-conversion. Besides being efficient, the silicon “dots” that develop the base of this high-energy material are not poisonous.

With the new silicon dot-based material, there is the availability of a range of applications involving infrared light that can be enhanced. They include light-based 3D printing, bioimaging, and light sensors that would assist self-driving cars through foggy weather.

This study was financially supported by the National Science Foundation and was executed by a research group based at the University of Texas, Austin, the University of Colorado, Boulder, and the University of Utah, as well as UCR. Not only the research group is excited about the possible applications but also about being capable of designing a new class of composite materials similar to this one.

Composites are known as materials that act differently compared to their base components when acting alone. For instance, composites of resins and carbon fibers are lightweight and strong and are utilized in airplane wings and several sporting goods.

  Simonelli undertakes research to reuse composite materials Simonelli Group is currently undertaking a research and development project to reuse composite materials, that nowadays have a vast range of uses and applications thanks to their durability and longevity, but which are also very difficult to dispose of. The De-Manufacturing research project, developed by Delta srl and Simonelli Group, is part of the Marche Region’s Marche Applied Research Laboratory for Innovative Composites (MARLIC) platform in the context of ‘Sustainable manufacturing: eco-sustainability of products and processes for new materials and de-manufacturing’. “We are truly delighted to take an active part in this virtuous synergy, promoted and developed also within the MARLIC platform as advocates of a dual objective, to make a strong contribution to the transition towards a circular economy and to grow and develop the local industrial system,” says Fabio Ceccarani, Simonelli Group Managing Director. “The De-Manu

Unsaturated polyester (UP)  resin  is a low cost thermoset with excellent processing ability and  mechanical properties  that finds applications in fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) materials. It also crosslinks readily in the presence of a catalyst such ketone peroxide, forming an even stronger and stiffer resin. Unfortunately, this also leads to lower  fracture toughness . Several methods to enhance the toughness of the cross-linked resin have been proposed; one such method involved blending with nano-fillers m

  In the dynamic realm of materials science, polymer nanocomposites have emerged as a revolutionary class of materials with unparalleled versatility and performance. From automotive engineering to biomedical technology, polymer nanocomposites are revolutionizing industries. This article explores the potential of polymer nanocomposites, highlighting their contributions to advancing materials science and supporting a sustainable future.1 What are Polymer Nanoparticles? Polymer nanoparticles, often termed nanofillers or nanoscale additives, are integral to polymer nanocomposites, imbuing them with exceptional properties. Ranging from 1 to 100 nanometers in diameter, these nanoparticles integrate into the polymer matrix, influencing mechanical strength, thermal conductivity, and electrical resistivity. Carbon-based nanoparticles like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene reinforce polymer matrices effectively, while clay nanoparticles enhance mechanical reinforcement and flame retardancy. M
