We demonstrate here the generation of fluorescent superparamagnetic quantum clusters through a greener aqueous route by fusing highly fluorescent gold clusters with superparamagnetic nanoparticles. We conjugated transferrin onto the hybrid clusters to get cell accessibility and assessed their hemocompatibility and cytotoxicity. The ability of the clusters to selectively remove cancer cell lines...

Magnetic nanoparticles have been widely used in the field of biotechnology and medicine, which has a great importance to precise and quantitative detection. This paper introduces a magnetic nanoparticles detection device of low cost, high sensitivity and real-time. When the diameter of the magnetic nanoparticles is 20nm, the third harmonic intensity of the induced voltage is in the level of mic...

The development of magnetoresistive sensors based on magnetic nanoparticles which are immersed in conductive gel matrices requires detailed information about the corresponding magnetoresistive properties in order to obtain optimal sensor sensitivities. Here, crucial parameters are the particle concentration, the viscosity of the gel matrix and the particle structure. Experimentally, it is not p...

in the present investigation, a novel adsorbent, ionic liquid modified magnetic nanoparticles (il-fe3o4), was successfully synthesized and characterized by ft-ir spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (tga), xrd analysis, scanning electron microscopy (sem) and theory of brunauer, emmett, and teller (bet) for removal of reactive orange 122 (ro-122) from aqueous solutions. the effects of variou...

Hybridization of distinct materials into a single nanoplatform is relevant to advance material’s properties for functional application such as biosensor platform. We report the synthesis and characterization of nanosheets of graphene oxide decorated with hybrid nanoparticles of silver-ruthenium bipyridine complex (Ag@[Ru(bpy)3] ) core and chitosan shell. Hybrid nanoparticles were first obtained...

Magnetic chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by the suspension cross-linking technique for use in the application of magnetic carrier technology. The Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by co-precipitation of FeCl2 and FeCl3 solution in base medium for using in the preparation of the magnetic chitosan. The morphological and magnetic properties of the magnetic nanoparticles were chara...

Engineering and functionalizing magnetic nanoparticles have been an area of the extensive research and development in the biomedical and nanomedicine fields. Because their biocompatibility and toxicity are well investigated and better understood, magnetic nanoparticles, especially iron oxide nanoparticles, are better suited materials as contrast agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and f...

A facile method for synthesis of amino functionalized silica coated Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles is introduced. For this purpose, the surface of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) was modified with two precursors of silica which produced amine and vinyl functional groups on the surface of magnetic nanoparticles. The modified magnetic nanoparticles were characterized by transmission electron micr...

Accurate diagnosis of tumors needs much detailed information. However, available single imaging modality cannot provide complete or comprehensive data. Nanomedicine is the application of nanotechnology to medicine, and multimodality imaging based on nanoparticles has been receiving extensive attention. This new hybrid imaging technology could provide complementary information from different ima...
