Water-solublel-arginine-capped Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized using a one-pot and green method. Nontoxic, renewable and inexpensive reagents including FeCl3,l-arginine, glycerol and water were chosen as raw materials. Fe3O4 nanoparticles show different dispersive states in acidic and alkaline solutions for the two distinct forms of surface bindingl-arginine. Powder X-ray diffraction and X...

Magnetic nanomaterials and nanostructures compose an innovative subject in sample preparation. Most of them are designed according to the properties target analytes on each occasion. The unique characteristics enhance proficiency at extracting enriching due their selective adsorption ability as well easy separation surface modification. Their remarkable properties, such superparamagnetism, bioc...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is a bioceramic very similar to the mineral component of bones and teeth. It well established that osteoblasts grow better onto HA-coated metals than on alone. Herein, preparation new system consisting magnetite (Fe3O4) HA functionalized with oleic acid simvastatin (SIMV), incorporated in chitosan (CHI) scaffolds, was undertaken. synthesized by hydrothermal method, while Fe3...

Monodisperse nonstoichiometric zinc ferrite nanoparticles with a tunable size of 4.1–32.2 nm are fabricated via thermal decomposition. An extrinsic impurity phase the ZnO component is present in <10 nm, but this can be eliminated after air annealing treatment. The atom ratio Zn/Fe and concentration oxygen vacancies decrease as particle increases, causing magnetic transition from superparamagnet...

Due to their unique properties such as superparamagnetism, easy surface functionalization, and colloidal stability among others, silica coated iron oxide nanoparticles (SIONPs) have received remarkable attention for biomedical applications in diagnostics or therapeutics. Tuning the particle size distribution of SIONPs a function solvent, catalyst, precursor, etc., modified Stöber’s method has b...

in this work, we report synthesis of surface modified superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spion) by co-precipitation method using feso4.7h2o and fe2(so4)3.5h2o as precursors and trisodium citrate dihydrate as surfactant. surface modification of the as prepared samples was performed in pot by sol-gel precipitation method using tetraethoxysilane (teos). the structure, morphology, and magn...

An investigation of the optical and magnetic properties of a unique hydrogen-linked conjugate nanostructure, comprised of superparamagnetic gamma-Fe(2)O(3) nanoparticles (NPs) and near-infrared PbSe nanocrystal quantum dot (NQD) chromophores, is reported. The results show retention of the NQDs' emission quantum efficiency and radiative lifetime, and only a small red shift of its band energy, up...

Chitosan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (CMNP) were prepared in one-step by precipitation in a high-aqueous phase content reverse microemulsion in the presence of chitosan. The high-aqueous phase concentration led to productivities close to 0.49 g CMNP/100 g microemulsion; much higher than those characteristic of precipitation in reverse microemulsions for preparing magnetic nanoparticles. The o...
