“…To this aim, it is necessary to load the material of interest with structures able to produce a response to an external magnetic event Magnetic nanoparticles can be classi ed into ve main types: ferromagnetic (iron, nickel, and cobalt), paramagnetic (gadolinium, magnesium, lithium, and tantalum), diamagnetic (copper, silver, gold), antiferromagnetic (MnO, CoO, NiO, and CuCl 2 ), and ferromagnetic (magnetite Fe 3 O 4 and maghemite γ-Fe 2 O 3 ) [4,18,19]. Recently, metallic iron oxide nanoparticles attracted a high interest due to their unique properties (magnetic, magneto-optical, magneto-resistive, thermal, electrical and mechanical properties) allowing them to be used in different applications including magnetic materials (circulators, oscillators and phase shifters for microwave regions), sensors, magnetooptical sensors, anodic materials for batteries, catalysts, sensors, phosphorescent laser sources, microwave and electrochemical devices, as well as black and brown pigments [20,21]. The introduction of magnetic particles into a polymer offers a great potential for inspection since iron oxides have spontaneous magnetic induction.…”
