in this report, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via coprecipitation of fe2+ and fe3+ with ammonium hydroxide, and the surface of synthesized nanoparticles was organically functionalized by commercially available amine coupling agent namely, 3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (apts) by using well-known sol–gel method. further reaction of the synthesized fe3o4@apts core-shell magne...

Enshrined in this review are the biogenic fabrication and applications of coated and uncoated iron and iron oxide nanoparticles. Depending on their magnetic properties, they have been used in the treatment of cancer, drug delivery system, MRI, and catalysis and removal of pesticides from potable water. The polymer-coated iron and iron oxide nanoparticles are made biocompatible, and their slow r...

the special application of iron-manganese oxide nanocatalysts has been investigated in decomposition of hydrogen peroxide. in this research, iron-manganese oxide nanocomposites were synthesized by co-precipitation, sol-gel and mechanochemical methods using iron (iii) nitrate, iron (ii) sulfate and manganese (ii) nitrate as starting materials. these nanocomposites were prepared on the various ca...

Introduction The current interest in iron/iron oxide nanoparticles for remediation applications can be partly attributed to their presumed ease of injection and faster reactivity. However, several processes can limit their effectiveness for degrading contaminants in groundwater include aging, aggregation and deposition. Under environmental conditions, nanoparticles with Fe(0) cores persist beca...

Nanomedicine is a rapidly growing field in nanotechnology, which has great potential in the development of new therapies for numerous diseases. For example iron oxide nanoparticles are in clinical use already in the thermotherapy of brain cancer. Although it has been shown, that tumor cells take up these particles in vitro, little is known about the internalization routes. Understanding of the ...

Polyethersulfone (PES) based nanocomposite nanofiltration membrane was prepared by immersion precipitation method and casting solution technique using  poly (acrylic acid) grafted-iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) as hydrophilic filler additives. For this purpose, iron oxide nanoparticles were modified by in situ polymerization of acrylic acid in aqueous solution by potassium persulfate as initi...

A nanoemulsion (NE) is a surfactant-based, oil-in-water, nanoscale, high-energy emulsion with a mean droplet diameter of 400-600 nm. When mixed with antigen and applied nasally, a NE acts as a mucosal adjuvant and induces mucosal immune responses. One possible mechanism for the adjuvant effect of this material is that it augments antigen uptake and distribution to lymphoid tissues, where the im...

Switchable surface redox chemistry is demonstrated in gold@iron/iron oxide core-shell nanoparticles with ambient oxidation and plasmon-mediated reduction to modulate the oxidation state of shell layers. The iron shell can be oxidized to iron oxide through ambient oxidation, leading to an enhancement and red-shift of the gold surface plasmon resonance (SPR). This enhanced gold SPR can drive redu...
