A new method for preparing magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles coated by organic dye-doped silica shell was developed in this article. Iron oxide nanoparticles were first coated with dye-impregnated silica shell by the hydrolysis of hexadecyltrimethoxysilane (HTMOS) which produced a hydrophobic core for the entrapment of organic dye molecules. Then, the particles were coated with a hydrophilic sh...

We have used X-Ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) and magnetometry to study isolated Fe@Cr core-shell nanoparticles with an Fe core diameter of 2.7 nm (850 atoms) and a Cr shell thickness varying between 1 and 2 monolayers. The addition of Cr shells significantly reduces the spin moment but does not change the orbital moment. At least two Cr atomic layers are required to stabilize a ferroma...

BACKGROUND Fe₃O₄-gold-chitosan core-shell nanostructure can be used in biotechnological and biomedical applications such as magnetic bioseparation, water and wastewater treatment, biodetection and bioimaging, drug delivery, and cancer treatment. RESULTS Magnetite nanoparticles with an average size of 9.8 nm in diameter were synthesized using the chemical co-precipitation method. A gold-coated...

Development of nanometer-sized magnetic particles exhibiting a large coercive field (Hc) is in high demand for densification of magnetic recording. Herein, we report a single-nanosize (i.e., less than ten nanometers across) hard magnetic ferrite. This magnetic ferrite is composed of ε-Fe2O3, with a sufficiently high Hc value for magnetic recording systems and a remarkably high magnetic anisotro...

Among the modern oncological therapies, one of most promising is based on tumor hyperthermia with magnetic nanoparticles resulting from crystallization iron and cobalt oxides. We synthesized core–shell perchlorate-CoxFe3−xO4 (x = 0; 0.5; 1.0) via co-precipitation method stabilized them in aqueous suspensions. Fine granulation dispersed ferrophase was revealed by Transmission Electron Microscopy...

The inclusion of magnetic nanoparticles into biopolymer matrixes enables the preparation of magnetic field-responsive engineered tissues. Here we describe a synthetic route to prepare biocompatible core-shell nanostructures consisting of a polymeric core and a magnetic shell, which are used for this purpose. We show that using a core-shell architecture is doubly advantageous. First, gravitation...

Magnetic nanoparticles of cobalt ferrite (CoFe204) have been synthesized using water-in-oil microemulsions consisting of water, cetyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (surfactant), n-butanol (cosurfactant), and n-octane (oil). Precursor hydroxides were precipitated in the aqueous cores of water-in-oil microemulsions and these were then separated and calcined to give the magnetic oxide. X-ray diffract...

Fe3O4-PEDOT core-shell nanoparticles were fabricated by acid treatment mediated seeded polymerization and applied for highly efficient separation of heavy metal ions from contaminated waste water with an external magnetic field.

A simple and unique strategy has been successfully designed for sensitive detection and rapid clearance of bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) by integration of core-shell Fe3O4@SiO2 magnetic nanoparticles with a perylene-diimide (PDI) conjugated LPS-recognition peptide.
