Silane coupling agent for enhanced epoxy-iron oxide nanocomposite

A New Potential Contrast Agent for Magnetic Resonance Imaging: Iron Oxide-4A Nanocomposite

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents have an important role to differentiate healthy and diseased tissues. Access and design new contrast agents for the optimal use of MRI are necessary. This study aims to evaluate iron oxide–4A nanocomposite ability to act as a magnetic resonance imaging contrast agent.Materials and Methods: Iron oxide–4A nanocomposite (F4A) was syn...

Fabrication and Characterisation of Graphene oxide-Epoxy Nanocomposite

Adequate amount of graphene oxide (GO) was firstly prepared by oxidation of graphite and GO/epoxy nanocomposites were subsequently prepared by typical solution mixing technique. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern, X-ray photoelectron (XPS), Raman and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy indicated the successful preparation of GO. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Transmission electr...

Gold and iron oxide hybrid nanocomposite materials.

This critical review provides an overview of current research activities that focused on the synthesis and application of multi-functional gold and iron oxide (Au-Fe(x)O(y)) hybrid nanoparticles and nanocomposites. An introduction of synthetic strategies that have been developed for generating Au-Fe(x)O(y) nanocomposites with different nanostructures is presented. Surface functionalisation and ...

Water-based Double Layer Functionalized Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Enhanced Gene Delivery Applications

Iron oxide nanoparticles (magnetite (Fe3O4), hematite (Fe2O3)) have been received increasing attention in drug and gene delivery. In this work, water-base double layer functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles (DL-IONPs) were designed and prepared of a biodegradable, biocompatible carrier by co-precipitation method with high DNA loading capacity due to self-assembly of a second organic layer. The...
