n-sodium acrylate-o-carboxymethyl chitosan [cmch-g-paa(na)] bound fe3o4 nanoparticles were developed as a novel magnetic nanoparticles with an ionic structure that can be potentially used in many fields. cmch-g-paa (na) was obtained by grafting of sodium polyacrylate on o-carboxymethyl chitosan, which is an amphiphilic polyelectrolyte with the biocompatibility and biodegradability properties. a...

ω-Transaminase (ω-TA) as a kind of important biocatalyst is widely used in preparation of chiral intermediates. In this paper, a magnetic PVA-Fe3O4 nanoparticles was prepared and employed on immobilization of ω-TA to reduce the cost, increase reusability and enhance stability. The prepared magnetic PVA-Fe3O4 nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron microscope (TEM), X-ray diffr...

Magnetically recoverable noble metal nanoparticles are promising catalysts for chemical reactions. However, the chemical synthesis of these nanocatalysts generally causes environmental concern due to usage of toxic chemicals under extreme conditions. Here, Pd/Fe3O4, Au/Fe3O4 and PdAu/Fe3O4 nanocomposites are biosynthesized under ambient and physiological conditions by Shewanella oneidensis MR-1...

Superparamagnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) based nanomaterials have been exploited in various biotechnology fields including biomolecule separation. However, slow accumulation of Fe3O4 NPs by magnets may limit broad applications of Fe3O4 NP-based nanomaterials. In this study, we report fabrication of Fe3O4 NPs double-layered silica nanoparticles (DL MNPs) with a silica core and highly packed F...

Osteoporosis is a result of imbalance between bone formation by osteoblasts and resorption by osteoclasts (OCs). In the present study, we investigated the potential of limiting the aggravation of osteoporosis by reducing the activity of OCs through thermolysis. The proposed method is to synthesize bisphosphonate (Bis)-conjugated iron (II, III) oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles and incorporate them in...

an innovative method based on the membrane bioreactor (mbr) technology was developed as a potential remedy for the water shortage. mbrs attracted much attention in the field of wastewater treatment and reuse. it is reported from many researchers that membrane bioreactor technology is feasible and an efficient method for the treatment of wastewater. however, mbrs are faced to membrane fouling whic...

Iron oxide nanoparticles are smart materials that have been commonly used in medicine for diagnostic imaging, drug delivery, and therapeutic applications. In this study, Iron oxide nanoparticles and doxorubicin hydrochloride, were absorbed into poly (D, L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) poly (ethylene glycol) (PLGA-PEG) nanoparticles for narrow behavior. PLGA:PEG triblock copolymers were synthesized b...

Preparation of magnetic nanoparticles coated with chitosan (CS-coated Fe3O4 NPs) in one step by the solvothermal method in the presence of different amounts of added chitosan is reported here. The magnetic property of the obtained magnetic composite nanoparticles was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and magnetic measurements (VSM). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electro...

The photothermal effect of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles is investigated for cancer therapy both in vitro and in vivo experiments. Heat is found to be rapidly generated by red and near-infrared (NIR) range laser irradiation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with spherical, hexagonal and wire-like shapes. These Fe3O4 nanoparticles are coated with carboxyl-terminated poly (ethylene glycol)-phospholipid for e...

this study investigated the applicability of polyethylene glycol (peg-4000) coated fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles for the selective removal of toxic pb (ii) ion from wastewater. the fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles of 24 nm were synthesized using a coprecipitation method and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (sem), vibratingsample magnetometer (vsm), and x-ray diffraction (xrd). sem image...
