Thrombotic disease is a great threat to human health, and early detection is particularly important. Magnetic resonance (MR) molecular imaging provides noninvasive imaging with the potential for early disease diagnosis. In this study, we developed Fe3O4-based poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) nanoparticles (NPs) surface-modified with a cyclic Arg-Gly-Asp (cRGD) peptide as an MR contrast agen...

In this study, MCM-41 mesoporous silica nanoparticles (NPs) and MCM-41÷Fe3O4 mesoporous silica NPs were prepared by sol-gel method using CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) as template and TEOS (tetraethyl orthosilicate) as silica precursor in order to use these materials as drug delivery system (DDS) for different biologically active agents. The MCM-41 and MCM-41÷Fe3O4 mesoporous silica NPs ...

Recently, magnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide (Fe3O4, c-Fe2O3) have shown an increasing number of applications in the field of biomedicine, but some questions have been raised about the potential impact of these nanoparticles on the environment and human health. In this work, the three types of magnetic nanoparticles (DMSAFe2O3, APTS-Fe2O3, and GLU-Fe2O3) with the same crystal structure, magne...

The application of nanohybrids in water treatment by the catalytic degradation of various pollutants has attracted much attention from researchers. Here, the Pd/Fe3O4-PEI-RGO nanohybrids (1d) with high shape selectivity and high specific surface area have been synthesized by the dispersion of Pd NPs and Fe3O4 NPs on PEI modified graphene oxide sheets. These nanohybrids show superior catalytic a...

Ordered mesoporous carbon/iron oxide composites were prepared by cooperative self-assembly of poly(tbutyl acrylate)-block-polyacrylonitrile (PtBA-b-PAN), which contains both a carbon precursor block and a porogen block, and phenol-functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs). Because of the selective hydrogen bonding between the phenol-functionalized iron oxide NPs and PAN, the NPs were prefer...

In this paper, we investigated the functional imaging properties of magnetic microspheres composed of magnetic core and CdTe quantum dots in the silica shell functionalized with folic acid (FA). The preparation procedure included the preparation of chitosan-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs) prepared by a one-pot solvothermal method, the reaction between carboxylic and amino group...

Magnetic, Mössbauer, and I.R. studies of nanosize particles of Fe and Co species dispersed in a cage of aluminosilicates structure, in relation to syngas (CO+H2) Fischer Tropsch conversion. The difference in the catalytic activity of such species have shown dependancy on their degree of dispersion. The carbonyl impregnation gave ultra-fine Super Paramagnetic Fe3O4, whereas the nitrate impregnat...
