Hydrothermal synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles as MRI contrast agents

Synthesis and Characterization of Chitosan Coated Manganese Zinc Ferrite Nanoparticles as MRI Contrast Agents

Manganese zinc ferrite nanoparticles (MZF NPs) were synthesized by using a direct, efficient and environmental friendly hydrothermal method. To improve the colloidal stability of MZF NPs for biomedical applications, NPs were coated with chitosan by ionic gelation technique using sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP) as crosslinker. The synthesized NPs were characterized by X ray diffraction (XRD) analy...

Hydrothermal Synthesis of an Ethiodol Based Ferrofluid as a Potential MRI Contrast Agent

In the present work, stable ferrofluids containing oleic acid capped magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized via low temperature hydrothermal method. The physical and chemical properties of the synthesized particles were studied using TEM, XRD, AFM, VSM and PCS techniques. Mean particles size of the samples was between 4.5 and 10 nanometers, depending on experimental conditions. Effect ...

manganese zinc ferrite nanoparticles (mzf nps) were synthesized by using a direct, efficient and environmental friendly hydrothermal method. to improve the colloidal stability of mzf nps for biomedical applications, nps were coated with chitosan by ionic gelation technique using sodium tripolyphosphate (tpp) as crosslinker. the synthesized nps were characterized by x ray diffraction (xrd) analy...

Quasi-Cubic Magnetite/Silica Core-Shell Nanoparticles as Enhanced MRI Contrast Agents for Cancer Imaging

Development of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents that can be readily applied for imaging of biological tissues under clinical settings is a challenging task. This is predominantly due to the expectation of an ideal MR agent being able to be synthesized in large quantities, possessing longer shelf life, reasonable biocompatibility, tolerance against its aggregation in biological f...
