The invention discloses a
thiol-
polyethylene glycol modified
magneto-optical composite nano-material and its application. An up-conversion nano material is taken as a basal layer, the surface of the basal layer is provided with a
polyacrylic acid layer, the surface of the
polypropylene layer is provided with a layer of
dopamine modified
ferriferrous oxide magnetic particles, a golden shell layer is covered on the
dopamine modified
ferriferrous oxide magnetic particles layer, and the
thioctic acid modified
polyethylene glycol is provided on the golden shell layer; the
thiol-
polyethylene glycolmodified
magneto-optical composite nano-material has guidance functions of up-conversion imaging and
magnetic resonance imaging dual imaging, under the physical induction action of the
magnetic field, the nano-material of the invention enables magnetic targeting to the specific position, so that the distribution in other internal organs can be reduced, and the damage in other internal organs during the treatment process is reduced. The nano-material can be taken as a good
reagent for photo-
thermal treatment by using the strong absorption property on the surface. The magnetic targeting photo-
thermal treatment is combined under the
imaging guidance, thereby the composite nano-material of the invention plays an important effect in clinical
medical science and biological technology in future.
