In this research, mercapto-silica coated magnetite (Fe3O4-SiO2-SH) has been prepared in aqueous solution through a simple approach so called a one-pot process. The Fe3O4-SiO2-SH was prepared in nitrogen condition by mixing magnetite, 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS), and sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) solution extracted from rice hull ash, and adjusting the pH of 7.0 using hydrochloric acid....

In this study, xanthine oxidase immobilized silica coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (Fe3O4@SiO2-XO) were successfully prepared and characterized by transmission electron microscope, X-ray powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and vibrating sample magnetometer. The average diameter of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles was about 300 nm to 350 nm with a shell thickness of 60 nm. The maximum ...

In this work, Fe3O4@SiO2 core-shell nanocomposites were successfully synthesised via a simple co-precipitation method. X-ray diffraction pattern of clearly shows the existence main phase Fe3O4, beside an amorphous structure SiO2. The with average particle size in range 10-20 nm is observed by SEM and TEM images. FTIR spectrum illustrates Fe-O Si-O-Si bonds sample, indicating formed nanocomposit...

In the last decade, nanobiotechnology has evolved rapidly with an extensive impact on biomedical area. In order to improve bioavailability and minimize adverse effects, drug delivery systems based on magnetic nanocomposites are under development mainly for cancer imaging and antitumor therapy. In this regard, pH sensitive core-shell magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) with accurate controlled size and...

Herein, a ternary nanocomposite with TiO2 nanoparticles anchored on reduced graphene oxide (rGO)-encapsulated Fe3O4 spheres (Fe3O4@rGO@TiO2) is presented as a high efficient heterogeneous catalyst for photo-Fenton degradation of recalcitrant pollutants under neutral pH. Fe3O4@rGO@TiO2 was synthesized by depositing TiO2 nanoparticles on the surface of the Fe3O4 spheres wrapped by graphene oxide ...

We report on a novel drug carrier which is based on the combination of magnetic and upconversion (UC) emission of Fe3O4@SiO2/NaYF4:Yb, Er (MSU) hybrids modified with MnO2 nanosheets (MSU/MnO2). The MSU hybrids were fabricated by covalently linking amino-modified Fe3O4@SiO2 particles with carboxyl-functionalized NaYF4:Yb, Er particles. The Fe3O4 core and the NaYF4:Yb, Er shell functioned success...

The use of a microwave assisted solvent-free technique for silica coating of iron magnetic nanoparticles (Fe3O4-MNPs) and their functionalization with three aliphatic diamines: 1,2-ethylenediamine (1,2EDA), 1,5-pentanediamine (1,5PDA) and 1.8-octanediamine (1,8-ODA), were successfully achieved in a very short time. Only 60 min were needed for the nano-adsorbent modification as compared with mor...
