Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized and coated with silica by conventional coprecipitation method. Silica coated iron oxide nanoparticles were surface functionalized with chitosan. Silica coating and chitosan functionalization were confirmed by FTIR and TG-DTA analysis. XRD pattern revealed that the pure phase of Fe3O4 was retained even after coating. Particles of average size 12 nm were ...

Nickel ferrite nanoparticles with superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature were synthesized using a coprecipitation method. These magnetic nanoparticles were either covered with a lipid bilayer, forming dry magnetic liposomes (DMLs), or entrapped in liposomes, originating aqueous magnetoliposomes (AMLs). A new and promising method for the synthesis of DMLs is described. The presence of th...

Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs), Fe3O4, were synthesized via the modified coprecipitation method. The morphology of these MNPs is polyhedral. The particle size of MNPs ranged from 20 to 100 nm. For combined hyperthermia and thermoresponsive drug delivery applications, the heating element, MNPs, in the core of drug carriers should increase the temperature of the target up to 43 ...

Polysaccharides are promising candidates for manufacturing biocompatible core-shell nanoparticles with potential in vivo use. Superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) have prospective application in both diagnosis and therapy, and so developing a novel polysaccharide shell on MNP core is of great challenge. MNPs were prepared by coprecipitation, then the surface of purified MNPs was coa...

Zinc ferrite (ZnFe2O4) nanoparticles have attracted the attention of researchers because their unique chemical properties and particle-size-dependent magnetic properties. High-surface-area spinel ferrites numerous technical applications in areas such as high-density information storage, ferrofluids, catalysis. The coprecipitation technique is preferred method for preparing nanoscale ZnFe2O4 it ...

ZnGa2O4 nano crystals were prepared by an improved coprecipitation method, which we call ‘spray coprecipitation’. XRD results shows the resulting crystal size using the new method is under 10nm, whereas the powder prepared by ordinary coprecipitation is about 30nm. XRD results also shows ZnO peaks exists in ZnGa2O4 powder prepared by traditional coprecipitation, but disappears in ZnGa2O4 nano c...

The manipulation of brain nerve terminals by an external magnetic field promises breakthroughs in nano-neurotechnology. D-Mannose-coated superparamagnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by coprecipitation of Fe(II) and Fe(III) salts followed by oxidation with sodium hypochlorite and addition of D-mannose. Effects of D-mannose-coated superparamagnetic maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles on key cha...

Earlier it has been shown that nucleic acids of high molecular weight can be be introduced into cells by coprecipitation with calcium phosphate. We have studied the requirements for calcium phosphate coprecipitation of shorter nucleotides. The degree of coprecipitation of dodecanucleotides lacking terminal phosphate varied between 25 and 72%. Tetramers with a 5'-monophosphate were coprecipitate...
