Spectroscopy of porous silicon nanoparticles impregnated with a drug maloben substance by M.Sh. Sattorov, Y.M. Spivak, Y.M. Kotcur, A. Kuznetsov, E.V. Flisyuk, V.A. Moshnikov

“…It was revealed that during the incorporation process, an interaction occurs between the nanoparticle and maloben, during which the degree of influence of porous Si particles during joint scattering of light decreases, and the vibrational modes of the sodium 4,4′-(propanediamido) dibenzoate molecule become more intense. Characteristic absorption bands associated with the formation of chemical bonds by wave and Raman numbers were detected, and an interpretation of the obtained results from the point of view of the formation of the finished substance was proposed. …”
