Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPIONs) for Targeted Drug Delivery Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • 2016 Author(s). Studies of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have been extensively carried out. Since the earlier work on Mssbauer studies on SPIONs in 1970s, many biomedical applications and their uses in innovative methods to produce new materials with improved performance have appeared. Applications of SPIONs in environmental remediation are also forthcoming. Several different methods of synthesis and coating of the magnetic particles have been described in the literature, and Mssbauer spectroscopy has been an important tool in the characterization of these materials. It is quite possible that the interpretation of the Mssbauer spectra might not be entirely correct because the possible presence of maghemite in the end product of SPIONs might not have been taken into consideration. Nanotechnology is an emerging field that covers a wide range of new technologies under development in nanoscale (1 to 100 nano meters) to produce new products and methodology.
