Langmuir technique as a useful tool to study the effect of magnetite nanoparticles with application potential in nanomedicine on model cell membranes
This webinar explores the use of the Langmuir technique to study how magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) which have significant potential in nanomedicine interact with model cell membranes. The session highlights the unique properties of MNPs, their functionalization for improved biocompatibility, and the need for molecular-level insights into their effects on biological membranes. By leveraging the Langmuir method, the webinar demonstrates how to assess the stability, phase state, and morphology of model membranes exposed to various biopolymer-functionalized MNPs.
