Using ilmenite as a raw material, iron was converted into Fe₃O₄ magnetic fluid, which further was combined with titanium filtrate by a solvothermal method. Finally Fe₃O₄/TiO₂ nanocomposites with the uniform size of 100-200 nm were prepared. This approach uses rich, inexpensive ilmenite as a titanium and iron source, which effectively reduces the production cost. The crystal structure, chemical ...

The core-shell structural Fe3O4/ZnS nanocomposites with controllable shell thickness were well-fabricated via seed-mediate growth method. Structural and morphological characterizations reveal the direct deposition of crystalline II-VI compound semiconductor ZnS shell layer on Fe3O4 particles. Spin dependent electrical transport is studied on Fe3O4/ZnS nanocomposites with different shell thickne...

INTRODUCTION The current radiofrequency ablation technique requires invasive needle placement. On the other hand, most of the common photothermal therapeutic methods are limited by lack of accuracy of targeting. Gold and magnetic nanoparticles offer the potential to heat tumor tissue selectively at the cellular level by noninvasive interaction with laser and radiofrequency. METHODS Gold nanos...

TiO2 /Fe3O4 nanocomposites with various TiO2:Fe3O4 ratios were synthesized by an ultrasonic-assisted deposition-precipitation method and their UV-light decolorization of Congo dye and magnetic separation were investigated. The nanocomposite samples were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), surface area analayzer (BET) and Fourier transform infrare...

In this research we first synthesized MgFe2O4 nanostructures via hydrothermal method using (Mg(NO₃)₂.6H₂O) and (Fe(NO₃)₃.9H₂O). The influence of concentration, surfactant, precipitating agent and temperature on the particle size and magnetic properties of the synthesised nanoparticles were examined. Then MgFe2O4-Ag nanocomposites were prepared by a simple chemical precipitation. The structural ...

The incorporation of magnetic barium hexaferrite nanoparticles in a transparent polymer matrix of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is reported for the first time. The barium hexaferrite nanoplatelets doped with Sc(3+), i.e., BaSc0.5Fe11.5O12 (BaHF), having diameters in the range 20 to 130 nm and thicknesses of approximately 5 nm, are synthesized hydrothermally and stabilized in 1-butanol with d...

The functional hollow biodegradable microcapsules modified with the maghemite γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles and the hollow spherical CoFe2O4 / SiO2 nanocomposites were synthesized. Mössbauer spectroscopy data reveal that the main part maghemite nanoparticles have evident superparamagnetic behavior which is retained up to room temperature. This allows directing the microcapsules by an external magnetic ...

in the present work, magnetic nanocomposites of the multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts) decorated with magnesium ferrite (mgfe2o4) nanoparticles were synthesized successfully by citrate-gel method. the shape, structure, size, and properties of the as-synthesized sample were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (ftir), x-ray diffraction pattern (xrd), transmission electron...

in this study, cu50-ni50 alloy were synthesized by mechanical alloying. the alloy was then reinforced by dispersion of multiwalled carbon nanotubes using a planetary high energy ball mill. x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer were used to evaluate the effects of cnt addition on the characteristics of the nanocomposites. xrd results of cu-ni sample sh...

The inclusion of magnetic nanoparticles into biopolymer matrixes enables the preparation of magnetic field-responsive engineered tissues. Here we describe a synthetic route to prepare biocompatible core-shell nanostructures consisting of a polymeric core and a magnetic shell, which are used for this purpose. We show that using a core-shell architecture is doubly advantageous. First, gravitation...
