Modeling and Experimental Analysis of an In-body Area Nanonetwork
Résumé
Nanotechnology is gaining more and more consensus in several
application elds, comprised in-body applications. Innovative
therapies and diagnostic approaches are based on
the use of injections or oral delivery of nanoparticles. The
acceleration of this type of development makes very urgent a
deeply and accurate analysis of the interaction between the
nanoparticles and the biological
uid where the nanoparticles
are immersed.
In this paper, we focus on Ti and its ally (TiO2) systems,
given their specic features in terms of density, lack of cytotoxic
eects, etc. Specically, we design and study an
in-body system by characterizing the emission and diusion
processes. Further, we propose an experimental study of the
morphology and other important characteristics (e.g. the
pH of the particles, and the dielectric constant of the solution)
of nano-TiO2 systems when immersed in a Ringer
solution, in order to derive important information related to their potential toxicity inside the human body
