Abstract This is a second part of iron oxide nanoparticles synthesis by co-precipitation method with various PH values. This study includes stabilizing iron oxide nanoparticles with dextran of molecular weight 10000 Da by aqueous route, then study its characteristics with AFM, FTIR and VSM also using the stabilized material as a contrast agent in T1-weighted image then compare the contrast enhancement with gadolinium based commercially available contrast agent (MagnevistTM). Ph values were (7,11,14), all samples were injected to mice bodies then imaged with MRI best result of T1 contrast enhancement was obtained from sample with Ph 14 compared with gadolinium-based T1 contrast agent with no toxic effects.

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION) of sizes 5 to10 nm were synthesized by the co-precipitation method. They are coated with silica nanoparticles using sonication method. The SPION was produced under the optimum pH of 10, peptized in acidic medium and redispersed in water. The silica nanoparticles were produced through the Stöbermethod. Sonochemical coating of silica nanoparticle on the SPION was successfulat a pH value lower than 5. Otherwise, at higher pH value (but lower than point zero charge (PZC)), the SPION were found to be unstable. Fast hydrolysis of triethoxyvinylsilane(TEVS) shows that silica forms its own particles without coating onto the surfaces of the SPION. Under optimized experimental condition, sonochemical method of coating silica nanoparticles onto the SPION can be considered as an alternative for effective and prompt method that rely mainly on pH of the suspension.

T1 Contrast

Iron oxide nanoparticles have been extensively utilised as negative (T2) contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging. In the past few years, researchers have also exploited their application as positive (T1) contrast agents to overcome the limitation of traditional Gd3+ contrast agents. To provide T1 contrast, these particles must present certain physicochemical properties with control over the size, morphology and surface of the particles. In this review, we summarise the reported T1 iron oxide nanoparticles and critically revise their properties, synthetic protocols and application, not only in MRI but also in multimodal imaging. In addition, we briefly summarise the most important nanoparticulate Gd and Mn agents to evaluate whether T1 iron oxide nanoparticles can reach Gd/Mn contrast capabilities.

Magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles are promising material for various biological applications. In the recent decades, magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) have great attention in biomedical applications such as drug delivery, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH). This review focuses on the colloidal stability and monodispersity properties of MNPs, which pay more attention toward biomedical applications. The simplest and the most promising method for the synthesis of MNPs is co-precipitation. The biocompatible MNPs are more interested in MRI application. This review also apportions synthesis, characterization and applications of MNP in biological and biomedical as theranostics and imaging.

AbstractIn the present work, synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) using continuous flow microreactor (MR) and advanced flow™ reactor (AFR™) has been investigated with evaluation of the efficacy of the two types of MRs. Effect of the different operating parameters on the characteristics of the obtained NPs has also been investigated. The synthesis of iron oxide NPs was based on the co-precipitation and reduction reactions using iron (III) nitrate precursor and sodium hydroxide as reducing agents. The iron oxide NPs were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The mean particle size of the obtained NPs was less than 10 nm at all flow rates (over the range of 20−60 ml/h) in the case of spiral MR, while, in the case of AFR™, the particle size of NPs was below 20 nm with no specific trend observed with the operating flow rates. The XRD and TEM analyses of iron oxide NPs confirmed the crystalline nature and nanometer size range, respectively. Further, magnetic properties of the synthesized iron oxide NPs were studied using electron spin resonance spectroscopy; the resonance absorption peak shows theg-factor values as 2.055 and 2.034 corresponding to the magnetic fields of 319.28 and 322.59 mT for MR and AFR™, respectively.
