The activation of magnetic nanoparticles (mNPs) by an alternating magnetic field (AMF) is currently being explored as technique for targeted therapeutic heating of tumors. Various types of superparamagnetic and ferromagnetic particles, with different coatings and targeting agents, allow for tumor site and type specificity. Magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia is also being studied as an adjuvant to conventional chemotherapy and radiation therapy. This review provides an introduction to some of the relevant biology and materials science involved in the technical development and current and future use of mNP hyperthermia as clinical cancer therapy.

The use of magnetic nanoparticles (mNP’s) in hyperthermia therapy for the treatment of cancer has been receiving increasing interest in the past few decades. It is known that heating cancerous tissues to temperatures above physiologically normal levels will cause cytotoxicity. In mNP hyperthermia, mNP’s are either injected intravenously or directly into the tumor site. In many tumor types the nanoparticles are invaginated into the cancer cells and aggregated into endosomes. Local temperature increases are achievable by exposing tumors containing mNP’s to an alternating magnetic field (AMF). The proximity of the mNP’s has a strong influence on their ability to generate heat due to inter-particle magnetic interaction effects [1, 2]. Taking this effect into account is important when modeling the heating characteristics of mNP’s.

The wear debris in hydraulic oil or lubricating oil has a wealth of equipment operating information, which is an important basis for large mechanical equipment detection and fault diagnosis. Based on traditional inductive oil detection technology, magnetic nanoparticles are exploited in this paper. A new inductive oil detection sensor is designed based on the characteristics of magnetic nanoparticles. The sensor improves detection sensitivity based on distinguishing between ferromagnetic and non-ferromagnetic wear debris. Magnetic nanoparticles increase the internal magnetic field strength of the solenoid coil and the stability of the internal magnetic field of the solenoid coil. During the experiment, the optimal position of the sensor microchannel was first determined, then the effect of the magnetic nanoparticles on the sensor’s detection was confirmed, and finally the concentration ratio of the mixture was determined. The experimental results show that the inductive oil detection sensor made of magnetic nanoparticle material had a higher detection effect, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 20–70 μm ferromagnetic particles was increased by 20%–25%. The detection signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 80–130 μm non-ferromagnetic particles was increased by 16%–20%. The application of magnetic nanoparticles is a new method in the field of oil detection, which is of great significance for fault diagnosis and the life prediction of hydraulic systems.

Recently, in-vitro studies of magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) hyperthermia have attracted significant attention because of the severity of this cancer therapy for in-vivo culture. Accurate temperature evaluation is one of the key challenges of MNP hyperthermia. Hence, numerical studies play a crucial role in evaluating the thermal behavior of ferrofluids. As a result, the optimum therapeutic conditions can be achieved. The presented research work aims to develop a comprehensive numerical model that directly correlates the MNP hyperthermia parameters to the thermal response of the in-vitro model using optimization through linear response theory (LRT). For that purpose, the ferrofluid solution is evaluated based on various parameters, and the temperature distribution of the system is estimated in space and time. Consequently, the optimum conditions for the ferrofluid preparation are estimated based on experimental and mathematical findings. The reliability of the presented model is evaluated via the correlation analysis between magnetic and calorimetric methods for the specific loss power (SLP) and intrinsic loss power (ILP) calculations. Besides, the presented numerical model is verified with our experimental setup. In summary, the proposed model offers a novel approach to investigate the thermal diffusion of a non-adiabatic ferrofluid sample intended for MNP hyperthermia in cancer treatment.

We report magneto-optical properties in a kerosene colloidal suspension of oleic acid coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (~14 nm). The magnetic colloids (fluids) show birefringence under a magnetic field. Systematical studies of the on–off switch times upon application of the on–off magnetic field with varied experimental parameters indicate that the switch response time depends strongly on the strength of the magnetic field and the concentration of the magnetic nanoparticles in the fluid. The data can be explained in terms of the formation of magnetic nanoparticle chains under a magnetic field. The important magneto-optical properties of the magnetic fluids allow us to design a tunable optical switch.

Magnetic nanoparticle hyperthermia has potential to achieve optimal therapeutic results due to its ability to deliver adequate heating power to irregular and/or deep-seated tumor at low magnetic field frequency and amplitude [1]. The heat generated by the particles under the application of an external alternating magnetic field is mainly due to the Néel relaxation mechanism and/or Brownian motion of the particles [2]. In clinical applications, it is very important to ensure a maximum damage to the tumor while protecting the normal tissue. The resulted heating pattern by the nanoparticle distribution in tumor is closely related to the injection parameters [3, 4].
