In the present study, new multi-components spinel ferrite Zinc doped metallic ferrites are investigated. The synthesized compounds consisting of Zinc copper ferrite nanostructures were developed using the Co-precipitation technique. Powder X-ray diffraction pattern (XRD) confirms the formation of the spinel phase for all the samples. The lattice constant was studied through powder X-ray diffrac...

This paper describes the syntheses of core/shell gold nanoparticles stabilized with a monolayer of double hydrophilic block copolymer and their stimuli responsiveness before and after shell cross-linking. The hybrid nanoparticles consist of gold core, cross-linkable poly(2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) (PDMA) inner shell, and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) corona. First, diblock copolymer PEO-...

TiO2-SiO2 core-shell particles include of monodisperse silica core and nanostructured titania shell were synthesized by a multi-step coating process. The monodisperse silica spheres were synthesized by Stöber method and titania shell was obtained of a colloidal sol prepared by a hydrolysis–condensation reaction. The titania sol was deposited on monodisperse silica spheres by a multi-step coatin...

Metallic nanoparticles have been increasingly suggested as prospective therapeutic nanoplatforms, yet their long-term fate and cellular processing in the body is poorly understood. Here we examined the role of an endogenous iron storage protein - namely the ferritin - in the remediation of biodegradable cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles. Structural and elemental analysis of ferritins close ...

Magnetic nanoparticles are a highly valuable substrate for the attachment of homogeneous inorganic and organic containing catalysts. This review deals with the very recent main advances in the development of various nanocatalytic systems by the immobilisation of homogeneous catalysts onto magnetic nanoparticles. We discuss magnetic core shell nanostructures (e.g., silica or polymer coated magne...

Synthesis of bis sulfamic acid-grafted on silica-coated nano-Fe3O4 particles (MNPs-TBSA) as a novel core/shell hybrid organic-inorganic magnetic nanostructures, and their performance as a retrievable heterogeneous acidic catalyst is disclosed. The catalytic performance of this novel material was studied for the green synthesis of pharmaceutically valuable polyhydroquinoline and tetrahydrobenzop...

This study describes a new strategy toward the development of advanced immunosensors based on chemically functionalized magnetic-core/porous-shell CoFe2O4/Cu2O composite nanoparticles, and the preparation, characterization, and measurement of relevant properties of the immunosensor useful for the detection of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in clinical immunoassay. The immunosensor based on...

In this work, the effects of co-precipitation temperature and post calcination on the magnetic properties and photocatalytic activities of ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles were investigated. The structure, magnetic and optical properties of zinc ferrite nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometry and UV–Vis spectrophotometry techniques.  The XRD re...

Peroxidase-mimicking activity of manganese ferrite nanoparticles was studied, based on the oxidation TMB (3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine) by H2O2 at pH 4 using acetate and citrate buffers. The aim this study to examine reaction not only enzymology (Michaelis-Menten kinetics model) but also surface science methods heterogeneous catalysis. Nanoparticles were characterized different techniques det...
