Synthesis and characterization of pectin-6-aminohexanoic acid-magnetite nanoparticles for drug delivery

Multifunctional magnetite nanoparticles for drug delivery: Preparation, characterisation, antibacterial properties and drug release kinetics

“…Consequently, a plethora of NPs with different characteristics have been prepared using different materials which have prompted a growing interest for their use in biomedical engineering and imaging (e.g., Yu et al, 2012, Mahdavinia et al, 2019. Due to the bio-compatible and superparamagnetic nature, magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are emerging as excellent candidates for biomedical applications such as magnetic targeting, real-time monitoring of diseases using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (Yang et al, 2012) and, hyperthermia treatment of cancer (Yu et al, 2012, Arora et al, 2017, Spirou et al, 2018, Hosu et al, 2019. Modified MNPs have also been observed to inhibit microbial development (Rodrigues et al, 2019).…”

Extraction of gamma iron oxide (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles from waste can: Structure, morphology and magnetic properties

“…The primary purpose of this invention is to recover metal values from iron-containing waste materials and convert them to magnetic γ-Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles having a wide range of applications from catalysis to waste management [ 9 , 10 ]. It is widely used for the production of, e.g., magnetic materials [ [11] , [12] , [13] ], sensing materials [ 14 ], pigments [ 15 ], sorbents [ 16 , 17 ], photocatalysts [ 16 ], storing data [ 18 ], for biomedical applications such as drug delivery [ 19 , 20 ], contrast agents for resonance imaging [ [21] , [22] , [23] ] and hyperthermia treatment [ 18 , 24 ], as well as being key components for adsorption and storage purposes [ 25 , 26 ]. Recently, iron oxides have been used in a huge amount as electrodes for sodium-ion, lithium-ion, and alkaline-ion batteries [ [27] , [28] , [29] , [30] , [31] ].…”

Energetic Electron-Assisted Synthesis of Tailored Magnetite (Fe3O4) and Maghemite (γ−Fe2O3) Nanoparticles: Structure and Magnetic Properties

“…In recent decades, synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles has been intensively developed, not only because of fundamental scientific interest, but also for their broad range of biomedical applications such as drug delivery [1], contrast agents for resonance imaging [2] and hyperthermia treatment [3]. Besides that, ferrogels, i.e., magnetically controllable gel-magnetic nanoparticle composites, are a highly promising upcoming materials class within this field [4][5][6].…”
