Magnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles: Synthesis, Characteristics, Magnetic Behavior, And Biomedical Applications, Chengyin Fu

Theses

Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are attracting increasing attention due to their interesting properties that can be applied in a great number of applications such as catalysis and biomedicine. This thesis focuses on the synthesis, characteristics, and biomedical applications of iron oxide nanoparticles. The two most common iron oxides, including magnetite and maghemite, are discussed in this thesis.

For most of their applications, the magnetic behavior of iron oxide nanoparticles in a fluid is very important, especially, the high gradient magnetic separation of the particles from a nonmagnetic liquid medium, such as blood in the human body. A 2D model, which …
