Extensively investigated and mutagenized Cow Pea Mosaic Virus (CPMV) has been demonstrated in a variety of nanoassemblies. Iron Oxide (IO) has the potential to surpass limits of detection in bioimaging applications. Particularly g-Fe2O3 (maghemite) is considered as one of the most desirable materials for technological and biomedical applications due to its inherent biocompatible nature. Additio...

In this article, we report the magnetic properties of surfactant coated g-Fe2O3 nanoparticles which are pressed under different pressures. With increasing pressure, the sample volume decreases, density increases, and a 55% density change has been achieved. The blocking temperature is increased from 50 to 80 K. Analyzing the data of blocking temperature versus densities, which exhibits linear re...

The current study aims to investigate the radiation shielding properties of mortar samples with Fe2O3 nanoparticles for protection applications. For reference (free nanoparticles) and different concentrations nanoparticles, we experimentally measured transmission factor (I/I0) four thicknesses prepared mortar. I/I0 results indicated that photons through mortars decreases increases in mortar’s t...

High intensity ultrasonic irradiation (sonication) of alkane slurries of polycrystalline YBa2Cu3O7−x leads to a significant modification of the grain morphology and, if performed with enforced oxygen flow, results in the increase of the superconducting transition temperature. Sonication with added Fe(CO)5 produces magnetic Fe2O3 nanoparticles deposited on the surface of YBa2Cu3O7−x (YBCO) granu...

Fe-based nanoparticles were prepared by laser-driven pyrolysis. The assynthesised powder consists of α-Fe and Fe3O4/γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles embedded in a pyrolytic carbon matrix. The crystallite size of 1.8 nm for α-Fe was calculated using the Scherrer formula. The as-synthesised nanopowder was superparamagnetic. The maximum of the zero-field cooling curve was observed at 32 K and the distributio...

In this study the effects of Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles and EDTA on urease activity was investigated. The effect of nano-Fe2O3 and nano-Fe3O4 on urease activity were investigated. Urease activity was studies by UV-Vis spectrophotometry at 40 °C at pH = 7.2 using sodium phosphate as buffer. Measurements were carried out using 0.075 mg/ml of urease and a range of nano-Fe2O3 and nano-F...

Due to its wide range of hazardous hydrocarbons and even heavy metal ions, oily sludge has become a great environmental challenge which must be dealt with quite quickly. As a result, ther have been numerous efforts during recent years to develop an efficient method for sludge recovery. The current research studies the effectiveness of solvent extraction with toluene and Fe2O3 nanoparticles for ...

The development of modern photovoltaic thermal systems (PV/T) is one the most important steps in application using solar energy to produce both electricity and heat. Studies have shown that a system consisting heat-collecting tank efficient system, which phase change materials (PCMs) are mixed with nanoparticles inside cooled by cooling fluid (preferably nanofluid). PCMs high capacity store for...

This thesis deals with the synthesis, characterisation, and some applications of ferrimagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. The iron oxide systems presented in this work are Fe3O4, γ-Fe2O3, NixFe3−xO4, CoxFe3−xO4. Iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared using chemical synthesis methods. Nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution were synthesised using zone confinement methods such as nanoemulsio...
