Abstract

Nanostructured magnetic systems form a new class of materials whose properties are of great interest to the fields of medicine, health, electroelectronics, catalysis, and others.

The superparamagnetic behavior of nanoparticles (NPs) enables the delivery and manipulation of substances. In addition, these NPs are susceptible to derivatization/functionalization reactions that help to anchor agents such as, pharmaceuticals, therapeutic agents, biomarkers, and DNA to produce nanotherapeutic ...
