Soft core-shell polymeric nanoparticles are an area of great research interest, due to
their potential advantages in the sustained and targeted delivery of therapeutic
payloads. These systems can offer significant improvements in the temporal and spatial
control of drug delivery. In this talk different polymeric nanoparticles that have been
specifically designed to deliver anti-cancer drugs and to image specific tissue, will be
discussed. The first system presented will be based on pH- and redox- responsive
nanoparticles which are able to deliver different payloads in different cellular
compartments. The synthesis and the characterization of these nano-objects will be
outlined in detailed. As an example, the delivery of nitric oxide will be presented using
these nanoparticles for the treatment of liver fibrosis andneuroblastoma. We have also
demonstrated synergistic effect when we combine nitric oxide (NO) with chemotherapy
drugs for the treatment in multi-drugs resistance in cancer. In a second part of this talk,
the synthesis of new hybrid organic/inorganic nanomaterials, based on iron oxide, gold
and gadolinium, will be reported for use as MRI contrast agents. The effect of the
architecture and the nature of polymers will be correlated with the magnetic properties
of these nano-objects. In addition, the polymeric shell of these nanomaterials can be
designed to conjugate with anti-cancer drugs. Finally, I will rapidly mention the use of
hybrid inorganic polymeric nanoparticles for the storage of hydrogen. In this part, I will
present and discuss on the synthesis of magnesium hydride (MgH2) nanoparticles
stabilized and assembled using functional polymer to yield a new generation of
nanomaterials with remarkable hydrogen storage properties.
