Characterization Of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles With Different Surfactants - In Search Of Optimum Synthesis Parameters For Mri Application

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been extensively studied for various biomedical applications, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents, and hyperthermia. The most common approach used to produce SPIONs is co-precipitation method. However, problem due to agglo...
