The encapsulation of [Eu(dbm)3phen] into functionalized mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSN) has been carried out to study the effect of chemical environments on the photoluminescence properties of the rare-earth complex. Surface functionalization was achieved by the reaction of the silanol groups on the surface of mesoporous silica with different organosilylating agents such as (3-aminopropyl...

OBJECTIVES This study sought to develop magnetic resonance contrast agents based on high-density lipoprotein (HDL) nanoparticles to noninvasively visualize intraplaque macrophages and collagen content in mouse atherosclerotic plaques. BACKGROUND Macrophages and collagen are important intraplaque components that play central roles in plaque progression and/or regression. In a Reversa mouse mod...

Magnetic nanoparticles attracted a great deal of attention in the medical applications due to their unique properties. The most exceptional property of magnetic particles is their response to a magnetic force, and this property has been utilized in applications such as drug targeting, bioseparation, contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and heating mediators for cancer therapy. In...

one-pot reaction of aldehydes or ketons with aniline derivatives was performed using nabh4 and fe3o4 magnetic nanoparticles (mnps). the optimum amount of fe3o4 mnps was 5 mol% under solvent free condition. the corresponding products were obtained in good to excellent yields. the magnetically recoverable iron oxide nanoparticles are found to be efficient for synthesis of amine derivatives. these...

in this paper, fe3o4-chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by the immobilization of chitosan on the surface of fe3o4 nanoparticles. then, the 5-substituted hydantoins were synthesized from the condensation of aldehyde derivatives, ammonium carbonate and zinc cyanide as a well-known cyanating agent by the magnetic fe3o4-chitosan nanoparticles under neat conditions. fe3o4-chitosan nanocatalyst as ...

magnetic cofe2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple chemical reaction using precipitation method. the obtained materials consist of ferrite particles with average diameter of 25 nm. the effect of different surfactants such as cationic, anionic and neutral on the morphology of the products was investigated. scanning electron microscopy was used to study the structure and particle size o...

In this study, magnetic nanoparticles (γ-Fe2O3) were used for the degradation of 2-chlorophenol (CP) from wastewater. The size of these magnetic nanoparticles was measured using XRD and found to be about  

Fodder yeast (Kluyveromyces fragilis) cells were magnetically modified by a contact with the water-based magnetic fluid in order to prepare a new type of magnetically responsive biocomposite material. This procedure enabled a simple separation of modified cells by means of commercially available magnetic separators or strong permanent magnets. It allows using the prepared material as a new inex...

the acetylation of various alcohols and phenols was performed successfully using acetic anhydride in the presence of citric acid coated magnetite nanoparticles as catalyst under solvent-free condition and at 45 °c. the catalyst showed high thermal stability and was recovered and reused at least 5 times without any considerable loss of activity. the present process is environmentally benign and ...

in this research nickel zinc ferrite nanoparticles with composition of ni1-xznxfe2o4 (where x=0, 0.3, 0.7, 1) were synthesized by a sol-gel method at 600 °c for 5 hours. the structure of nanoparticles was studied using x-ray diffraction pattern. the lattice parameter of ferrite nanoparticles was calculated and indicates lattice constant of nanoparticles depend on zinc concentration. the crystal...
