Essential oils are complex mixtures of volatile compounds with diverse biological properties. Antimicrobial activity has been attributed to the essential oils as well as their capacity to prevent pathogenic microorganisms from forming biofilms. The search of compounds or methodologies with this capacity is of great importance due to the fact that the adherence of these pathogenic microorganisms to surfaces largely contributes to antibiotic resistance. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been assayed for diverse biomedical applications due to their biocompatibility and low toxicity. Several methods have been developed in order to obtain functionalized magnetite nanoparticles with adequate size, shape, size distribution, surface, and magnetic properties for medical applications. Essential oils have been evaluated as modifiers of the surface magnetite nanoparticles for improving their stabilization but particularly to prevent the growth of microorganisms. This review aims to provide an overview on the current knowledge about the use of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles and essential oils on the prevention of microbial adherence and consequent biofilm formation with the goal of being applied on the surface of medical devices. Some limitations found in the studies are discussed.

The discovery of novel materials, processes, and phenomena at the nanoscale and the development of new experimental and theoretical techniques for research provide fresh opportunities for the development of innovative nanosystems and nanostructured materials. Nanomaterials with tailored unique properties have limitless possibilities in materials science. The most widely used synthesis routes for iron oxide nanoparticles are based on precipitation from solution. Most of the nanoparticles available to date have been prepared using chemical route. Physical processes have also been recently developed to produce high quality monodisperse and monocrystalline iron oxide nanoparticles. Magnetite has recently attracted attention because bulk Fe3O4has a high Curie temperature of 850 K and nearly full spin polarization at room temperature, and due to its wide range of applications in almost all branches of science and technology. Clearly, nanoscale magnetite offers potential for creation of novel technology in multiple fields of study. Opportunities for magnetite nanoparticles to be effectively incorporated into environmental contaminant removal and cell separation magnetically guided drug delivery, imaging of tissue and organs, magnetocytolysis, sealing agents (liquid O-rings), dampening and cooling mechanisms in loudspeakers, high gradient magnetic separation (HGMS) techniques and contrasting agents for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Advancement of synthesis and stabilization procedures towards production of uniformly sized, dispersed (potentially embedded) magnetite nanoparticles has clearly inspired creative imagination and application in various fields.

Multifunctional iron oxide nanoparticles have a vast and emerging scope in the field of nanotechnology. Out of numerous techniques available to develop multifunctional magnetite nanoparticles, co-precipitation is considered as one of the most efficient and economical techniques. Bare magnetite nanoparticles could be functionalized to act as multifunctional nanoparticles with the help of some suitable and biocompatible coating materials. In present study, surface functionalization of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles has been carried out with alginate and gum Arabic, respectively. For the confirmation of surface functionalization, the synthesized multifunctional magnetite nanoparticles were characterized FTIR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Further, the drug loading efficiency of these surface coated iron oxide nanoparticles has been evaluated with the help of UV-visible spectrophotometric studies

In present work, the synthesis of the humic acid functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles and their application in water treatment are reported. The bare and humic acid functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles were characterized using different techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The synthesized magnetite nanoparticles coated with humic acid showed efficient removal of crystal violet dye from the aqueous solution. The functionalized magnetite nanoparticles were found to have higher adsorption capacity as compared to bare magnetite nanoparticles and the pure humic acid under specific conditions. The adsorption kinetics study was found in accordance with pseudo-second order kinetics while the isotherm data was observed to be in good agreement with the Tempkin isotherm. A comparative study of dye removal efficiency of humic acid functionalized magnetite nanoparticles with reported adsorbents has also been made.

The present work reports the successful synthesis of biosynthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4-NPs) with the use of non-toxic leaf extract of Neem (Azadirachta indica) as a reducing and stabilizing agent. The successful synthesis was confirmed by infrared spectra analysis with strong peak observed between 400–600 cm−1 that corresponds to magnetite nanoparticles characteristics. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that iron oxide nanoparticles were of high purity with crystalline cubic structure phases in nature. Besides, the average size of magnetite nanoparticles was observed to be 9–12 nm with mostly irregular shapes using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) and was supported by field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM). Energy dispersive X-ray analysis shown that the elements iron (Fe) and oxygen (O) were present with atomic percentages of 33.29% and 66.71%, respectively. From the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) analysis it was proven that the nanoparticles exhibited superparamagnetic properties with a magnetization value of 73 emu/g and the results showed superparamagnetic behavior at room temperature, suggesting potential applications for a magnetic targeting drug delivery system.
