This study describes a facile two-step approach to modify the surface of nanoparticles, thereby imparting a core-shell structure to the system. The core consists of magnetic nanoparticles and the shell is composed of thermoresponsive hydroxypropyl cellulose, using a coupling agent to covalently bind the core to the shell. Hydroxypropyl cellulose is known for its biocompatibility and biodegradab...

Magnetic Fe2Pt core-shell nanoparticles with 2 nm cores were synthesized with a monolayer coating of silicotungstate Keggin clusters. The core-shell composition is substantiated by structural analysis performed using high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy (HR-STEM) and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) in a liquid suspension. The molecular metal oxide cluster shell introduc...

the lead ferrite (pbfe12o19) nanoparticles were prepared by a simple and short time microwave method. lead nitrate, iron nitrate hydrate, surfactants, and ethylene glycol were used as precursor materials. the effect of surfactants on the morphology and particle size of the magnetic products was investigated. the prepared magnetic products were study by x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron...

background: recently, some new nanobiosensors using different nanoparticles or microarray systems for detection of mycotoxins have been designed . however, rapid, sensitive and early detection of aflatoxicosis would be very helpful to distinguish high-risk persons.objectives: we report a highly sensitive competitive immunoassay using magnetic/silica core shell as a signal intensifier for the de...

Synthesis of the core/shell-structured Fe3O4/Au nanoparticles by trapping Fe3O4 inside hollow Au nanoparticles is described. The produced composite nanoparticles are strongly magnetic with their surface plasmon resonance peaks in the near infrared region (wavelength from 700 to 800 nm), combining desirable magnetic and plasmonic properties into one nanoparticle. They are particularly suitable f...

We report the design and methodology for functionalization of the surface of small Co-ferrite nanoparticles with a mean size of up to 5.0 nm through the attachment of vitamin C molecules initiating [AuCl4]reduction and the subsequent deposition of gold. By this method, Co-ferrite-Au nanoparticles have been fabricated for the first time in a simple and controllable manner, consisting of the dete...

hard magnetic srfe12o19 (srm) nanoparticles were synthesized by a facile sonochemical reaction. the magnetic nanoparticles were then added to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, and poly sulfone to make magnetic nanocomposites. the magnetic properties of the samples were also investigated using an alternating gradient force magnetometer. the strontium ferrite nanopartic...

Introduction: Nanoparticles have several exciting applications in various fields of biomedicine. It has been found that among different classes of nanoparticles core/shell is most promising for field of nano-medical imaging and therapy due to their distinct advantages. The core/shell type nanoparticles can be generally comprising of two nanoparticles one act as a core (inner ma...

The aim of this study is to fabricate a hybrid composite of iron (Fe) core-carbon (C) shell nanoparticles with enhanced magnetic properties for contrast enhancement in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These new classes of magnetic core-shell nanoparticles are synthesized using a one-step top-down approach through the electric plasma discharge generated in the cavitation field in organic solven...

Inverted soft/hard, in contrast to conventional hard/soft, bi-magnetic core/shell nanoparticles of Mn(x)Fe(3-x)O(4)/Fe(x)Mn(3-x)O(4) with two different core sizes (7.5 and 11.5 nm) and fixed shell thickness (∼0.6 nm) have been synthesized. The structural characterization suggests that the particles have an interface with a graded composition. The magnetic characterization confirms the inverted ...
