BACKGROUND AND METHODS Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared using a sonochemical method under atmospheric conditions at a Fe²⁺ to Fe³⁺ molar ratio of 1:2. The iron oxide nanoparticles were subsequently coated with chitosan and gallic acid to produce a core-shell structure. RESULTS X-ray diffraction demonstrated that the magnetic nanoparticles were pure Fe₃O₄ with a cubic inverse sp...

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...

Monodisperse small iron oxide nanoparticles functionalized with dendritic polyglycerol (dPG) or dendritic polyglycerol sulfate (dPGS) are prepared. They are highly stable in aqueous solutions as well as physiological media. In particular, oleic acid capped iron oxide particles (core diameter = 11 ± 1 nm) were modified by a ligand exchange process in a one pot synthesis with dPG and dPGS bearing...

Although iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNP) have been proposed for numerous biomedical applications, little is known about their biotransformation and long-term toxicity in the body. Dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA)-coated magnetic nanoparticles have been proven efficient for in vivo drug delivery, but these results must nonetheless be sustained by comprehensive studies of long-term distribu...
