pegylated superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles for magnetic fluid hyperthermia therapy

Investigation of magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles for magnetic hyperthermia

The paper presents the investigation of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) dedicated to hyperthermia application. The crystal structure and size distributions have been determined by means of transmission electron microscope (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Magnetic properties of the nanoparticles were tested by Mössbauer spectroscopy together with calorimetric experiments. The Mössbauer spectrosc...

Monodispersed magnetite nanoparticles optimized for magnetic fluid hyperthermia: Implications in biological systems.

Magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanoparticles (MNPs) are suitable materials for Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia (MFH), provided their size is carefully tailored to the applied alternating magnetic field (AMF) frequency. Since aqueous synthesis routes produce polydisperse MNPs that are not tailored for any specific AMF frequency, we have developed a comprehensive protocol for synthesizing highly monodispersed...

Citrate capped superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles used for hyperthermia therapy

Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles (MNP) of about 10 nm were designed with proper physicochemical characteristics by an economic, biocompatible chemical co-precipitation of Fe and Fe in an ammonia solution, for hyperthermia applications. Synthetic methodology has been developed to get a well dispersed and homogeneous aqueous suspension of MNPs. Citric acid was used to stabilize the magne...

Magnetic Fluid Hyperthermia for Cancer Therapy

The aim of the paper is to show basic ideas of magnetic fluid hyperthermia treatment with regard to power losses which occur during heating with alternating magnetic field. A special attention has been paid to dielectric, hysteresis and relaxation mechanism losses and their contribution to total power losses. A numerical analysis has been done with regard to a simplified female breast phantom a...

Hyperthermia Cancer Therapy by Magnetic Nanoparticles

Synthesis of superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles for thermoresponsive drug delivery

Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs), Fe3O4, were synthesized via the modified coprecipitation method. The morphology of these MNPs is polyhedral. The particle size of MNPs ranged from 20 to 100 nm. For combined hyperthermia and thermoresponsive drug delivery applications, the heating element, MNPs, in the core of drug carriers should increase the temperature of the target up to 43 ...
