In the present study, we developed a relatively simple way to incorporate magnetic nanoparticles into electrospun ultrafine fibers of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) by combining electrospinning with in situ co-precipitation. Using this approach, we achieved uniform dispersal of Fe3O4 nanoparticles along the fibrous surface. The formation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the fiber surface and the partic...

This paper describes a simple and environmentally friendly method for the preparation of highly stable dispersions of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with controlled morphologies, in the same synthesis system for the first time. During the process, the Fe3O4 nanoparticles are formed using urease as a multifunctional reagent, including catalyst, template and dispersant, due to its enzymatic activity and spe...

Copyright © Korean Carbon Society http://carbonlett.org Abstract In this work, iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were deposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) by a simple chemical coprecipitation method and Fe3O4-decorated MWNTs (Fe-MWNTs)/polypyrrole (PPy) nanocomposites (Fe-MWNTs/PPy) were prepared by oxidation polymerization. The effect of the PPy on the electrochemical properties o...

Cinnamomum verum-functionalized Fe3O4 nanoparticles of 9.4 nm in size were laser transferred by matrix assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique onto gastrostomy tubes (G-tubes) for antibacterial activity evaluation toward Gram positive and Gram negative microbial colonization. X-ray diffraction analysis of the nanoparticle powder showed a polycrystalline magnetite structure, whereas ...

radar absorbing materials, i.e. magnetite (fe3o4) coated carbon fibers (mccfs) were fabricated by electro-deposition technique. black-colored single spinel phase fe3o4 nanoparticles was easily synthesized by hydrothermal method using reduction of a fe (iii) - triethanolamine complex in an aqueous alkaline solution at 60-80 ◦c. uniform and compact fe3o4 films were fabricated on nitric acid treat...

Polycrystalline iron phosphide coated iron oxide and hollow iron phosphide nanoparticles were synthesized by sonichemistry. Structure analysis indicated that the diameters of these nanoparticles were less than 14 nm, and the core–shell and hollow nanoparticles are Fe3O4–FeP and FeP, respectively. Magnetic measurement demonstrated that both the core–shell Fe3O4–FeP and hollow FeP nanoparticles e...

Theranostic nanoparticles offer the potential for mixing and matching disparate diagnostic and therapeutic functionalities within a single nanoparticle for the personalized treatment of diseases. In this article, we present composite iron oxide-gadolinium-containing Prussian blue nanoparticles (Fe3O4@GdPB) as a novel theranostic agent for T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and phototh...

Multifunctional nanomaterials showed great advantages in drug delivery. Folic acid (FA) binding protein, a glycosyl phosphatidyl inositol anchored cell surface receptor for folate, is overexpressed in several human tumors, whereas it is highly restricted in normal tissues. Therefore, in this study, FA, polyethylene glycol (PEG), and Fe3O4 nanoparticles multifunctionalized short multiwall carbon...

The key problem of cryoablation is that only freezing is often unable to kill the capillaries at tumor edges, leading to a high rate of recurrence. Here, we found that Fe3O4 nanoparticles were highly useful to improve the freezing capability of cryosurgery due to their ability to alter intracellular ice formation (IIF) and growth in tumor cells. The killing efficiency of cryoablation for MCF-7 ...

The aim of this research is to elucidate the size effect of magnetic nanoparticles on the resultant magneto-dielectric properties of polymer nanocomposites at radio frequencies. The block copolymer of [styrene-b-ethylene/butylene-b-styrene] (SEBS) was utilized as a matrix for the templating of magnetic nanoparticles. Surfactant-modified iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles of various sizes were suc...
