This work reports on the structural evolution during room temperature synthesis of hexagonally ordered mesoporous silica nanoparticles with and without embedded iron oxide particles. Oleic acidcapped iron oxide nanoparticles are synthesized and transferred to an aqueous phase using the cationic surfactant, hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB). MCM-41 type silica and composite nanoparticles...

the special application of iron-manganese oxide nanocatalysts has been investigated in decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. in this research, iron-manganese oxide nanocomposites were synthesized by co-precipitation, sol-gel and mechanochemical methods using iron (iii) nitrate, iron (ii) sulfate and manganese (ii) nitrate as starting materials. these nanocomposites were prepared on the various ca...

BACKGROUND It was recently reported that iron oxide nanoparticles attenuated antigen-specific humoral responses and T cell cytokine expression in ovalbumin-sensitized mice. It is presently unclear whether iron oxide nanoparticles influence T helper 1 cell-mediated immunity. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of iron oxide nanoparticles on delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH), whos...

Aggregation of metal oxide nanoparticles in aqueous media complicates interpretation of in vitro studies of nanoparticle-cell interactions. We used dynamic light scattering to investigate the aggregation dynamics of iron oxide and zinc oxide nanoparticles. Our results show that iron oxide particles aggregate more readily than zinc oxide particles. Pretreatment with serum stabilises iron oxide a...

iron oxide (fe2o3) nanoparticles were synthesized by a simple approach using sodium borohydride (nabh4) and iron chloride hexahydrate (fecl3.6h2o). their physicochemical properties were characterized by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (hrtem), scanning electron microscopy (sem), x-ray diffraction (xrd) and electron dispersive spectroscopy (eds). xrd pattern showed that the iron...

Iron oxide nanoparticles (INPs) have potential biological, biomedical and environmental applications. These applications require surface modification of the iron oxide nanoparticles, which makes it non-toxic, biocompatible, stable and non-agglomerative in natural and biological surroundings. In the present study, iron oxide nanoparticles (INPs) and chitosan oligosaccharide coated iron oxide nan...

in recent years, the scientists have focused on nanotecnology and its applications as the most important fields of research and development. the use of nanoparticles offers many advantages, due to their unique size and physical properties. magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been used in many fields, because of their unique properties such as large specific surface area and convenient separa...

The purpose of this study was to synthesize biocompatible poly(2-hydroxyethyl aspartamide)-C16-iron oxide (PHEA-C16-iron oxide) nanoparticles and to evaluate their efficacy as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging of lymph nodes. The PHEA-C16-iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized by coprecipitation method. The core size of the PHEA-C16-iron oxide nanoparticles was about 5 to 7 nm,...
