We report exchange bias (EB) effect in the Au-Fe3O4 composite nanoparticle system, where one or more Fe3O4 nanoparticles are attached to an Au seed particle forming 'dimer' and 'cluster' morphologies, with the clusters showing much stronger EB in comparison with the dimers. The EB effect develops due to the presence of stress at the Au-Fe3O4 interface which leads to the generation of highly dis...

A novel approach for multicomponent patterning metal/metal oxide nanoparticles on graphene was developed, which involves region-specific plasma treatment, followed by region-selective substrate-enhanced electroless deposition of Au nanoparticles and solution alkalization of ferrous chloride tetrahydrate in the presence of ammonia into Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The resultant Fe3O4/Au multicomponent m...

antibacterial activity of fe3o4 nanoparticles was investigated in three microorganisms including p. aeruginosa, e. coli and staphylococcus aureus. fe3o4 nanoparticles were synthesized by chemical precipitation method (20 nm). the fe3o4 nanoparticles antibacterial effect against pseudomonas aeruginosa, escherichia coli and staphylococcus aureus were studied by the culture method. first of all, e...

Silver nanoparticles integrated with a magnetic matrix such as Fe3O4 to form AgFe3O4 nanocomposites show some advantages in their applications as an antibacterial agent and heterogeneous catalyst. This material can be synthesized by a combination of electrochemical and reduction methods supported by ultrasonic route. The purposes of this study are to synthesize the nanocomposites by reduction m...

In gene therapy, how genetic therapeutics can be efficiently and safely delivered into target tissues/cells remains a major obstacle to overcome. To address this issue, nanoparticles consisting of non-covalently coupled polyethyleneimine (PEI) and folic acid (FA) to the magnetic and fluorescent core/shell of Fe3O4@SiO2(FITC) was tested for their ability to deliver Notch-1 shRNA. Our results sho...

fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles modified with 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium bromide([c8mim]-fe3o4) were used for the removal of reactive red 141 (rr141) and reactive yellow 81 (ry81) as model azo dyes from aqueous solution. the mean size and the surface morphology of the nanoparticles were characterized by tem, xrd and ftir techniques. adsorption studies of two dyes were performed under different ex...

In this paper, an efficient and convenient Fe3O4/PMG/IDA-Ni2+ nanoparticles that applied to purify and immobilize his-tagged β-glucosidase was synthesized, in which, Fe3O4/PMG (poly (N, N'-methylenebisacrylamide-co-glycidyl methacrylate) core/shell microspheres were synthesized firstly using distillation-precipitation polymerization, then iminodiacetic acid (IDA) was used to open epoxy rings on...

In accordance with the World Cancer Report, cancer has become the leading cause of mortality worldwide, and various therapeutic strategies have been developed at the same time. In the present study, biocompatible magnetic nanoparticles were designed and synthesized as high-performance photothermal agents for near-infrared light mediated cancer therapy in vitro. Via a facile one-pot solvothermal...

Hydrophilic Fe3O4 nanoparticles with controllable size and shape have been fabricated using a facile solvothermal approach followed by surface modification with polyacrylic acid (PAA). The nanoparticles form one-dimension photonic crystal structure under external magnetic field ranging from 29.6 to 459 G. The reflection peaks of formed photonic crystals cover the entire visible spectrum, which ...
