Synthesis of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for biomedical applications Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been synthesized by an hydrothermal method using three different iron precursors. The yield of synthesis was determined for all samples and found to be dependent on the iron precursor, solution pH and reaction time. The synthesized nanoparticles will be characterized by transmission electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis and their suitability for biomedical applications, with particular focus on the hyperthermia method, will be studied.
