Аннотация:Acoustic plasma discharge and cavitation in aqueous solutions were
used to prepare metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) based on tungsten, copper, iron
and zinc. It was found that ultrasonic cavitation during the NP formation
influenced strongly the size and physical properties of NPs, which were
measured by means of the electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering (DLS)
and photoluminescence (PL) techniques. In vitro studies did not reveal
cytotoxicity of the NPs for concentration of up to 0.2 mg/mL and exposure time
for one week. The obtained results indicate good prospects of the prepared NPs
for biomedical applications in the PL diagnostics of cancer and magnetic
hyperthermia.
