Structure and Properties of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles Encapsulated by Phospholipids with Poly(ethylene glycol) Tails

Abstract: Iron oxide nanoparticles with diameters of 20.1 and 8.5 nm coated with phospholipids containing poly-(ethylene glycol) (PEG) tails were studied using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, and magnetometry. Novel SAXS data analysis methods are applied to build three-dimensional structural models of the nanoparticles coated with PEGylated phospholipids in aqueous solution. The SAXS data demonstrate that the density inside iron oxide nanoparticles is not … Show more

“…In general, small particles (with radius R 1 ) as primary particles construct larger particles or secondary structures (with radius R 2 ) as clusters with agglomeration and/or aggregation [17]. The cluster formation is affected by the magnetic interparticle interactions between the nanoparticles [18] and the fractal dimension, indicating that a reaction-limited mechanism occurs in the magnetic nanoparticles system [36]. The fractal dimension of Mn x Fe 3−x O 4 tends to be similar to 3, corresponding to the growth of the structures in three dimensions.…”

“…To explore these dependencies, a powerful small-angle scattering technique is required. This technique has the capability to examine the hierarchical nanostructures, the primary particles, the clusters within the samples [18], and fractal structures of the particles [19].…”

“…The multilayered interior of the model reflects the process of the formation of the iron oxide core from smaller nuclei, as discussed in our preceding paper. 34 The shape of the aggregates, also presented in the upper inset of Figure 4, reveals an irregular conglomerate containing about 30-40 individual NP1-PMAcOD particles (in panel b, the aggregate is superimposed onto the single particle). Because the zero-angle scattering I(0) is proportional to the squared volume and the volume fraction and the aggregates (curve 4) yield practically the same I(0) value as the NP1-PMAcOD particles (curve 2), the volume fraction of the aggregates in the sample does not exceed 0.1%.…”

“…Various metal oxides nanoparticles, due to their optical, electrical and magnetic properties [1] have numerous applications including sensors, catalysis, biomedical diagnostics and environmental remediation [2][3][4] . Since engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) released to the environment go down the soil, the effects of ENPs on soil processes and the organisms that carry them out should be grasped.…”
