Objective(s): This paper describes coating of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) with amorphous silica shells.   Materials and Methods: First, magnetite (Fe3O4) NPs were synthesized by co-precipitation method and then treated with stabilizer molecule of trisodium citrate to enhance their dispersibility. Afterwards, coating with silica was carried out via a sol-gel approach in which the electrostati...

We report a magnetically transportable microlaser with cholesteric liquid crystal (CLC) core-shell structure, operating in band-edge mode. The dye doped CLC shells as a water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) double emulsion were fabricated by microfluidics. Water-dispersible Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were incorporated in the inner aqueous phase by taking advantage of the immiscibility with the middle...

in this work firstly fe3o4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a sono-chemical method. at the second step magnesium hydroxide shell was synthesized on the magnetite-core under ultrasonic waves. for preparation fe3o4-mgo the product was calcinated at 400 ºc for 2h. properties of the product were examined by x-ray diffraction pattern (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform ...

   Nickel-molybdenum oxidebimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized in ethylene glycol using the microwave irradiation technique. According to the results, successive reduction of nickel and molybdenum ions, followed by thermal treatment of obtained nanoparticles led to formation of core-shell structured nickel-molybdenum oxide nanoparticles. According to the results, the thickness of the s...

A new fluorogenic based aminonaphthalimide-functionalized Fe(3)O(4)@SiO(2) core/shell magnetic nanoparticles 1 has been prepared, and its abilities to sense and separate metal ions were evaluated by fluorophotometry. The nanoparticles 1 exhibited a high affinity and selectivity for Hg(2+) and CH(3)Hg(+) ions over competing metal ions.

magnetic cufe2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized by a facile microwave-assisted reaction between cu(no3)2 and fe(no3)3. the magnetic nanoparticles were added to starch to make magnetic polymeric nanocomposite. the nanoparticles and nanocomposites were characterized using x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. the magnetic properties of the samples were investigated using an alternat...

Background: Curcuma longa generally known as turmeric includes curcuminoids and sesquiterpenoids as components, which are known to have antioxidative, anticarcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Iron, magnetite, and hematite as a micronutrient play an important role in physiological and chemical processes. Chitosan is a natural polymer derived from chitin and is recognized as versatile ...

To accomplish effective cancer imaging and integrated therapy, the multifunctional nanotheranostic Fe3O4-MTX@HBc core-shell nanoparticles (NPs) were designed. A straightforward method was demonstrated for efficient encapsulation of magnetic NPs into the engineered virus-like particles (VLPs) through the affinity of histidine tags for the methotrexate (MTX)-Ni2+ chelate. HBc144-His VLPs shell co...

Unimolecular core−shell and hollow polymer nanoparticles with well-defined dimensions were crafted using spherical core−shell starlike diblock copolymers as templates. Monodisperse and structurally stable star-like diblock copolymers composed of inner degradable core blocks and outer photo-cross-linkable shell blocks were synthesized via a combination of two living polymerization techniques, na...

Cobalt ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized with coprecipitation or with the hydrothermal method. Stable water suspensions were prepared from the as-synthesized nanoparticles, with the addition of citric acid as a surfactant, and then used for the preparation of deposits under an applied magnetic field. The morphology of the cobalt ferrite nanoparticles was investigated with a transmission el...
