Overview on Iron Oxide Magnetic Nanoparticles and Polyol Method of Synthesis
Author(s): Monalisha Jena
In recent times, the arena of nanoparticles and their wide range of applications
have amassed interest in the domain of diagnostics and medical therapeutics.
The following review entails their diverse array of chemical and electromagnetic
properties, along with their correlation concerning particle size. Furthermore,
superparamagnetic behaviour is of sheer eminence in medical research, cell
isolation devices, enzyme immobilization, controlled release systems, and the
separation of biological materials. In contrast with other magnetic nanoparticles,
magnetite and maghemite displayed higher biocompatibility and lower toxicity
during in-vitro/in-vivo studies. This review also summarises a brief on the preexisting
methods of preparation, properties, and applications of nanoparticles. In
addition, the polyol method of synthesis has also been emphasized. .. View More»
