In this research controlled coating of magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles with SiO2 was investigated. The Fe3O4 nanoparticles were synthesized via chemical co-precipitation and then coated by silica according to Stober method. Effects of tetra ethyl ortho silicate (TEOS) concentration and ethanol to TEOS on the coating thickness were inves...

In this research, a novel method is reported for the surface grafting of n-vinylcaprolactam as a thermosensitive agent and 3-allyloxy-1,2-propandiol with an affinity toward ceftriaxone onto modified magnetic nanoparticles by 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane. The grafted nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, Elemental Analysis, and Vibrating Sample Magnetom...

Magnetic nanoparticles can be used for numerous in vitro and in vivo applications. However, since uptake by the reticuloendothelial system represents an obstacle for the achievement of nanoparticle diagnostic and therapeutic goals, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the uptake of dimercaptosuccinic acid coated magnetic nanoparticles by reticuloendothelial system phagocytic cells prese...

Gold-coated iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized for use as a T2 contrast agent in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The coated nanoparticles were spherical in shape with an average diameter of 20 nm. The gold shell was about 2 nm thick. The bonding status of the gold on the nanoparticle surfaces was checked using a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The FTIR spectra c...

INTRODUCTION Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is suitable for noninvasive long-term tracking. We labeled human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural precursors (iPSC-NPs) with two types of iron-based nanoparticles, silica-coated cobalt zinc ferrite nanoparticles (CZF) and poly-l-lysine-coated iron oxide superparamagnetic nanoparticles (PLL-coated γ-Fe2O3) and studied their effect on proli...

biomedical applications of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (spions) requiring precise control over their physical and magnetic properties, and proper surface treatment. here we report a practical and effective electrochemical strategy for preparation of the polymer coated spions. in this strategy, in situ polymer coating on the surface of spions was achieved through electrodeposition...

Amphipathic polymer pullulan acetate (PA)-coated magnetic nanoparticles were prepared and characterized by various physicochemical means. The cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of the magnetic nanoparticles were examined. The hyperthermic effect of the magnetic nanoparticles on tumor cells was evaluated. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed that the PA coated magnetic nanoparticles (PAMN...

In this research, Cu-phthalocyanine coated hybrid magnetic nanoparticles have been prepared in a simple method and evaluated as an efficient catalyst in the preparation of mono- and bis-pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidinones and mono- and bis-2-amino-4H-pyrans from the condensation reaction of 1,3-dimethylbarbituric acid or 4-hydroxycumarin with malononitrile and mono- and bis-aldehydes under ultrasoni...

Magnetic hyperthermia with the treating temperature range of 41-46 °C is an alternative therapy for cancer treatment. In this article, lanthanum strontium manganates (La1-x Sr x MnO3, 0.25 ≤ × ≤ 0.35) magnetic nanoparticles coated by hyaluronic acid (HA) which possesses the ability of targeting tumor cells were prepared by a simple hydrothermal method combined with a high-energy ball milling te...
