Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid as capping ligands for highly water-dispersible iron oxide particles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Monodispersed magnetite (Fe3O4) particles were synthesized using a high-temperature hydrolysis reaction with the assistance of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) as capping ligands. These particles were composed of small primary nanocrystals and their sizes could be tuned from about 400 to about 800 nm by simply changing the EDTA or precursor concentration. Surface-tethered EDTA made the particles highly water-dispersible. The as-prepared magnetite particles also showed superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature, and their magnetic properties were size dependent. In addition, the particles had a strong response to external magnetic field due to their high magnetization saturation values. These properties were very important for some potential biomedical applications, such as magnetic separation and magnetic-targeted substrate delivery.

In this thesis, a generic method was developed for surface modification of nanoparticles (NP) with silica shell using Stöber method. Nanoparticles synthesized from nonhydrolytic solvents such as various ethers were first surface activated with a silane-based poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG). Because of the amphiphilicity of PEG moiety, these nanoparticles could be easily transferred from hydrophobic...

Strontium titanate (SrTiO(3)) nanoparticles with well defined cubic shape and sub-10 nm size that are highly dispersible in non-polar organic solvents were successfully synthesized by hydrothermal (HT) processing. Water-soluble titanium complexes and strontium hydroxide were employed as precursors. When the HT process was carried out without oleic acid, the SrTiO(3) particles obtained were rela...
