Cobalt manganese ferrite nanoparticles have application potential in the biomedical field, however there is limited information concerning the biological response. The aim of this work was to investigate the cytotoxic potential of cobalt-manganese ferrite nanoparticles in canine mastocytoma tumor cells (C2) and adipose-derived mesenchymal stromal stem cells (ASCs) cultured under a static magnet...

Magnetic permeability data of cobalt ferrite and carbonyl iron suspensions are discussed. Using an induction method, the relative differential permeability, mr;dif ; was measured as a function of the internal magnetic field for different volume fractions of the solid phase. In the case of cobalt ferrite suspensions, the mr;dif H curve was obtained for a first increasing ramp of magnetic field (...

Magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) are a special type of NP with a ferromagnetic, electron-dense core that enables several applications such as cell tracking, hyperthermia, and magnetic separation, as well as multimodality. So far, superparamagnetic iron oxide NPs (SPIONs) are the only clinically approved type of metal oxide NPs, but cobalt ferrite NPs have properties suitable for biomedical applicat...

We recently identified an engineered bioactive silica-based nanoparticle formulation (designated herein as NP1) that stimulates in vitro differentiation and mineralization of osteoblasts, the cells responsible for bone formation, and increases bone mineral density in young mice in vivo. The results demonstrate that these nanoparticles have intrinsic biological activity; however, the intracellul...

The magnetic adsorbent nanoparticle was modified using cationic surface active agent. Zinc ferrite nanoparticle and cetyl trimethylammonium bromide were used as an adsorbent and a surface active agent, respectively. Dye removal ability of the surface modified nanoparticle as an adsorbent was investigated. Direct Green 6 (DG6), Direct Red 31 (DR31) and Direct Red 23 (DR23) were used. The charact...

The dynamic behavior of magnetic colloidal particles in suspension is investigated. The particles of the core–shell colloid consist of a cobalt ferrite core embedded in a silica shell and are stabilized by surface charges. As the suspension is strongly opaque to visible light, it can not be probed by dynamic light scattering techniques as a result of strong multiple scattering as well as absorp...

Magnetic nanoparticles are of great importance particularly in the field of biomedicine as well as nanotechnology and nano materials science and technology. Here, we synthesise magnetic alloy-filling carbon nanoparticles (MA@C NPs) via the following two-step procedure; (1) Irradiation of a laser beam of 266 nm wavelength into super-critical benzene, in which both ferrocene and cobaltocene are d...

Model cobalt catalysts for CO(2) hydrogenation were prepared using colloidal chemistry. The turnover frequency at 6 bar and at 200-300 °C increased with cobalt nanoparticle size from 3 to 10 nm. It was demonstrated that near monodisperse nanoparticles in the size range of 3-10 nm could be generated without using trioctylphosphine oxide, a capping ligand that we demonstrate results in phosphorus...

Ammonia produced using renewable hydrogen is being viewed as a promising media for the export of energy from locations rich in sources. Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are efficient devices converting such exported ammonia back into electricity at point use; however, investigations on materials and operating regimes direct fuelled SOFCs limited. In this work, we evaluated SOFC performance with S...
