Development and optimization of a new hybrid chitosan-grafted graphene oxide/magnetic nanoparticle system for theranostic applications

There is currently a great demand especially in cancer treatment for transformative theranostic technologies combining imaging with drug delivery. This study reports the design and optimization of a hybrid theranostic nano-system combining the imaging capabilities of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with the great potential of chitosan-grafted graphene oxide (GO) as a pH-sensitive smart nano-carrier, using different molecular weights and...
