Magnetic nanoparticles attract increasing attention because of their current and potential biomedical applications, such as, magnetically targeted and controlled drug delivery, magnetic hyperthermia and magnetic extraction. Increased magnetization can lead to improved performance in targeting and retention in drug delivery and a higher efficiency in biomaterials extraction. We reported an appro...

In this work, preparation and crystallization of yttrium iron garnet Y3Fe5O12 super-paramagnetic nanoparticle by aqueous sol–gel processes and its application as an effective nano catalyst for esterification and etherification reactions in short reaction time and in high isolated yields. Then this catalist was used for the synthesis of Dihydropyrimidin derivatives is described. The catalyst was...

We present an interdisciplinary overview of material engineering and emerging applications of iron oxide nanoparticles. We discuss material engineering of nanoparticles in the broadest sense, emphasizing size and shape control, large-area self-assembly, composite/hybrid structures, and surface engineering. This is followed by a discussion of several non-traditional, emerging applications of iro...

Recently, magnetic iron oxide particles have been emerged as significant nanomaterials due to its extensive range of application in various fields. In this regard, synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles with desirable properties and high potential applications are greatly demanded. Therefore, investigation on different iron oxide phases and their magnetic properties along with various commonly u...

Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized in the presence of pepper extract as a capping agent via a hydrothermal method. Then palladium nanoparticles and Fe3O4-Pd nanocomposites were synthesized with the aid of pepper extract as a reducing agent. Vibrating Sample magnetometer illustrated that Fe3O4 nanoparticles have super paramagnetic behaviour. The photo catalytic behaviour of Fe3O4-Pd nanocompos...

This thesis deals with the synthesis, characterisation, and some applications of ferrimagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. The iron oxide systems presented in this work are Fe3O4, γ-Fe2O3, NixFe3−xO4, CoxFe3−xO4. Iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared using chemical synthesis methods. Nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution were synthesised using zone confinement methods such as nanoemulsio...
