The study of the paleomagnetic signal recorded by rocks allows scientists to understand Earth's past magnetic field and the formation of the geodynamo. The magnetic recording fidelity of this signal is dependent on the magnetic domain state it adopts. The most prevalent example found in nature is the pseudo-single-domain (PSD) structure, yet its recording fidelity is poorly understood. Here, th...

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...

The great potential of magnetic field enriched surface enhanced resonance Raman spectroscopy (SERRS) for early malaria diagnosis has been demonstrated previously. This technique is able to detect β-hematin, which is equivalent to a malaria biomarker (hemozoin) in Raman features, at a concentration of 5 nM. In this study, we present the optimization of nanoparticles used in the magnetic field en...

Multifunctional folic acid conjugated BSA@Fe3O4 microcapsules (FA-BSA@Fe3O4 MCs) have been prepared successfully based on the sonochemical method. The as-synthesized FA-BSA@Fe3O4 MCs have a suitable size range for biomedical applications, and a high loading capacity for water-insoluble drugs. Furthermore, FA-BSA@Fe3O4 MCs show excellent magnetic properties. Cytotoxicity tests indicate that FA-B...

Covalent labeling of solvent exposed amino acid residues using chemical reagents/crosslinkers followed by mass spectrometric analysis can be used to determine the solvent accessible amino acids of a protein. A variety of chemical reagents containing cleavable bonds were developed to label abundantly found lysine residues on the surface of protein. To achieve efficient separation of labeled pept...

A magnetic Fe3O4/GO composite with potential for rapid solid-liquid separation through a magnetic field was synthesized using GO (graphene oxide) and Fe3O4 (ferriferous oxide). Characterization of Fe3O4/GO used scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR), and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). A number of factors such as pH a...

a new magnetic nanocatalyst has been prepared using immobilization of vanadate onto aminopropyl functionalized sio2/fe3o4(vo3-/nh3+-sio2/fe3o4). the obtained magnetic catalyst was characterized by ft-ir, xrd, vsm and sem techniques and used for sulfoxidation of sulfide compounds to the correspondingsulfoxides in presence of h2o2 as oxidant at room temperature. the optimum of reaction conditions...

The most challenging task in the preparation of magnetic poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (Fe3O4-PNIPAAm) nanocomposites for bio-applications is to maximise their reactivity and stability. Emulsion polymerisation, in situ precipitation and physical addition were used to produce Fe3O4-PNIPAAm-1, Fe3O4-PNIPAAm-2 and Fe3O4-PNIPAAm-3, respectively. Their properties were characterised using scanning elec...

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...

In this paper, Fe3O4-chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by the immobilization of chitosan on the surface of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Then, the 5-substituted hydantoins were synthesized from the condensation of aldehyde derivatives, ammonium carbonate and zinc cyanide as a well-known cyanating agent by the magnetic Fe3O4-chitosan nanoparticles under neat conditions. Fe3O4-Chitosan nanocatalyst as ...
