Chitosan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (CMNP) were obtained at 70 °C and 80 °C in a one-step method, which comprises precipitation in reverse microemulsion in the presence of low chitosan concentration in the aqueous phase. X-ray diffractometry showed that CMNP obtained at both temperatures contain a mixture of magnetite and maghemite nanoparticles with ≈4.5 nm in average diameter, determined b...

This work is devoted on the rheological behavior of ethylene glycol based nanofluids containing maghemtite nanoparticles. The size of these maghemite nanoparticles was measured using XRD and found to be about <50 nm. Major factors that influence on viscosity and rheological behavior, such as, temperature and particle mass concentration, were investigated over 25–80°C and 0.2 and 2% respectivel...

Convection-enhanced delivery (CED) is a novel approach for delivering drugs directly into brain tumors by intracranial infusion, enabling the distribution of high drug concentrations over large tissue volumes. This study was designed to present a method for binding methotrexate (MTX) to unique crystalline, highly ordered and superparamagnetic maghemite nanoparticles via human serum albumin (HSA...

We report the synthesis of small (below 100 nm), stable and water-compatible superparamagnetic molecularly imprinted nanocomposites using water-soluble, dithiocarbamate-based photoiniferters. These agents were adsorbed directly on surface maghemite nanoparticles allowed thin layers polymer able to specifically selectively bind green fluorescent protein as a model protein. To best or our knowled...

Two systems of nanoparticles with different surface states have been prepared by sol-gel methods and analysed by X-ray diffractometry, transmission electron microscopy, thermal analysis and temperature dependent Mossbauer spectroscopy. Surface states and phase content, particle mean size and the magnetic anisotropy energy constant were evaluated.

Recent advances in nanotechnology have permitted the development of a wide repertoire of inorganic magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) with extensive promise for biomedical applications. Despite this remarkable potential, many questions still arise concerning the biocompatible nature of NPs when in contact with biological systems. Herein, we have investigated how controlled changes in the physicochemi...
