Self Standing Nanoparticle Networks/Scaffolds With Applications in Drug Delivery, Tissue Engineering, Catalysis etc.
BACKGROUND In nanoparticle scaffolds, no existing process can cross link the nanoparticles such that the porous scaffolds made are self standing and the process is easy to implement. The scaffolds hence derived have a wide range of applications. TECHNOLOGY DESCRIPTION A novel process of preparing self standing, crosslinked networks (scaffolds) of nanoparticles from commonly available materials as metallic, inorganic, semi conducting and magnetic particles, organic and polymeric compounds. The scaffolds have controllable mesh size and pore size can range from nano to micro porous. The particle volume fraction is between 0.5 to 50%
