Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were oxidized with different agents and a characterization study was carried out. Then, hybrid-magnetic nanoparticles (HMNPs) were synthesized as iron oxide supported on the selected multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs-Fe₃O₄) obtained from MWCNTs oxidized with HNO3. The HMNPs characterization revealed the presence of iron oxide as magnetite onto the MWCNTs s...

Iron oxide-based nanomagnets have attracted a great deal of attention in nanomedicine over the past decade. Down to the nanoscale, superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles can only be magnetized in the presence of an external magnetic field, which makes them capable of forming stable colloids in a physio-biological medium. Their superparamagnetic property, together with other intrinsic proper...

Magnetic characterization of spherical, oxide-free, bcc iron nanoparticles synthesized with b-diketone surfactants has been performed. The results of this characterization, which included particles with diameters ranging between 2 and 5 nm show that the nanoparticles have an average anisotropy of 1.9 1070.3 10 J/m, which is more than an order of magnitude greater than the magnetocrystalline ani...

UNLABELLED In this work, the magnetic properties of silicon nanotubes (SiNTs) filled with Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) are investigated. SiNTs with different wall thicknesses of 10 and 70 nm and an inner diameter of approximately 50 nm are prepared and filled with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles of 4 and 10 nm in diameter. The infiltration process of the NPs into the tubes and dependenc...

In the present paper, the electrochemical properties of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe2O3 and Fe3O4) as highly sensitive sensors for the simultaneous determination of hydrazine and hydroxylamine was described. The electrochemical behavior of hydrazine and hydroxylamine was investigated using cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and differentia...

We present a microfluidic platform that allows undergoing different chemical operations in a nanoliter droplet starting from the colloidal suspension of magnetic iron oxide (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles "NPs" (ferrofluid). These operations include: mixing, flocculation, magnetic decantation, colloidal redispersion, washing, surface functionalization, heating and colloidal assembly. To prove the platf...

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) are used in a rapidly expanding number of research and practical applications in the biomedical field, including magnetic cell labeling separation and tracking, for therapeutic purposes in hyperthermia and drug delivery, and for diagnostic purposes, e.g., as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging. These applications require good NP stabil...

Introduction: Iron oxide nanoparticles, owing to their very small size and superparamagnetic properties, have been considered a potential candidate for several medical applications such as magnetic cell separation, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), magnetic targeted drug delivery magnetichyperthermia. The present study aimed to synthesize and evaluate the characteristics of super...

Background: Curcuma longa generally known as turmeric includes curcuminoids and sesquiterpenoids as components, which are known to have antioxidative, anticarcinogenic, and anti-inflammatory activities. Iron, magnetite, and hematite as a micronutrient play an important role in physiological and chemical processes. Chitosan is a natural polymer derived from chitin and is recognized as versatile ...
