High encapsulation efficiency of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs; Fe3O4) in microcapsules using PDVB as a hydrophobic polymer shell was successfully achieved by microsuspension conventional radical polymerization (ms CRP). MNPs were initially synthesized by co-precipitation of Fe2+/Fe3+ in a binary phase. During the nucleation of MNPs in alkaline aqueous solution existing oleic acid (OA), MNPs were coated with OA (MNPs-OA) before moving to the toluene phase with the addition of salt. At OA concentration of 0.3 wt%, most of the nucleated MNPs were hydrophobic and well dispersed in the toluene phase. Using DVB as a monomer for ms CRP, high encapsulation efficiency (92 %EE) of MNPs-OA was obtained, with low free polymer particle formation. By contrast, large amounts of free polymer particles were observed at low %EE (32%) of MNPs. The main driving force for high %EE was obtained by coating the surface of the MNPs by OA which increased hydrophobicity.

This paper continues our previous work on preparation of triangular silver nanoparticles. The method proceeds with reaction of silver nitrate with hydrazine hydrate in the presence of polyvinyl pyrrolidone in aqueous solution. Effects of the concentration of PVP on the morphologies of Ag NPs were systematically investigated. The obtained Ag NPs were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and UV-visible spectrophotometer. The results showed that, triangular Ag NPs with edge lengths in the range of 50-200 nm were obtained using PVP as protective agent with lower concentration. As the concentration of PVP increased, spherical Ag NPs with their sizes about 6.2 nm were prepared and triangular Ag NPs were not obtained. The formation mechanism of triangular Ag NPs has been studied. Ostwald ripening is the driving force on the conversion of spherical Ag NPs to triangular Ag NPs in the presence of PVP.

The interconnection of nanotechnology and medicine could lead to improved materials, offering a better quality of life and new opportunities for biomedical applications, moving from research to clinical applications. Magnetite nanoparticles are interesting magnetic nanomaterials because of the property-depending methods chosen for their synthesis. Magnetite nanoparticles can be coated with various materials, resulting in “core/shell” magnetic structures with tunable properties. To synthesize promising materials with promising implications for biomedical applications, the researchers functionalized magnetite nanoparticles with silica and, thanks to the presence of silanol groups, the functionality, biocompatibility, and hydrophilicity were improved. This review highlights the most important synthesis methods for silica-coated with magnetite nanoparticles. From the presented methods, the most used was the Stöber method; there are also other syntheses presented in the review, such as co-precipitation, sol-gel, thermal decomposition, and the hydrothermal method. The second part of the review presents the main applications of magnetite-silica core/shell nanostructures. Magnetite-silica core/shell nanostructures have promising biomedical applications in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a contrast agent, hyperthermia, drug delivery systems, and selective cancer therapy but also in developing magnetic micro devices.

Groundwater contamination with heavy metals is considered as serious environmental hazard that affect the human society. Nano adsorbents incorporating magnetite nanoparticles provides promising alternative to facilitate removal of heavy metal ions from wastewater. The present work focuses on removal of chromium (VI) cationic metals from aqueous media using Polyvinyl Pyrrolidone (PVP)/Magnetite (Fe3O4) Nanocomposite (MNC). Magnetite nanoparticles are synthesized using chemical co-precipitation and grafted using polyvinyl pyrrolidone to form a magnetite nanocomposite. MNC were characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Infrared absorption spectrum (FT-IR) studies to affirm the formation and presence of polymeric functional groups of PVP/Magnetite nanocomposite. Batch experiments are carried out at exclusive concentration intervals to study about the adsorption efficiency of MNC on chromium (VI) cationic metal using U-Vis spectroscopy. The results obtained through adsorption studies shows the synthesized PVP/Magnetite nanocomposites has a removal efficiency of 94%.

The crystalline nanoparticles of Ni0.2Zn0.8Fe2O4 ferrite were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation with precursor concentration of 0.1M, then modified by 0.25M solution of oleic acid in pentanol, finally heated at temperatures 120, 140, 160 and 180oC for 6h in autoclave. The XRD, EDS and TEM confirmed that all of samples are crystalline and their particle size are 6, 6.5, 7 and 8 nm. The magnetic properties showed that the coercive force, the remanence of samples are about zero, the saturation magnetization Ms has values from 14.20 to 27.12 emu/g.
