Mechanical alloying of a mixture of Fe2O3 and CoO powders has been applied for the preparation of nanocrystalline. Utilizing a ball-to-powder mass ratio of 20, milling time of 20 hours followed by annealing at 900°C, we could obtain a nanocrystalline of high crystallinity and composed of mainly CoFe2O4 phase with presence of Fe2O3 as revealed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Magnetic measurements using vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) reveal high saturation magnetization for the annealed sample close to CoFe2O4 phase value. The heating efficiency of the obtained nanocrystalline is studied under an alternating magnetic field and as a function of the concentration. It was found that the nanocrystalline generate a substantial amount of heat when exposed to an alternating magnetic field. In vitro hyperthermia experiment was carried out and our result clearly demonstrates the ability of the obtained nanocrystalline to kill cancer cell through magnetic hyperthermia.

The superparamagnetic substance magnetoferritin is a potential bio-nanomaterial for tumor magnetic hyperthermia because of its active tumor-targeting outer protein shell, uniform and tunable nanosized inner mineral core, monodispersity and good biocompatibility. Here, we evaluated the heating efficiency of magnetoferritin nanoparticles in an alternating magnetic field (AMF). The effects of core-size, Fe concentration, viscosity, and field frequency and amplitude were investigated. Under 805.5 kHz and 19.5 kA/m, temperature rise (ΔT) and specific loss power (SLP) measured on magnetoferritin nanoparticles with core size of 4.8 nm at 5 mg/mL were 14.2 °C (at 6 min) and 68.6 W/g, respectively. The SLP increased with core-size, Fe concentration, AMF frequency, and amplitude. Given that: (1) the SLP was insensitive to viscosity of glycerol-water solutions and (2) both the calculated effective relaxation time and the fitted relaxation time were closer to Néel relaxation time, we propose that the heating generation mechanism of magnetoferritin nanoparticles is dominated by the Néel relaxation. This work provides new insights into the heating efficiency of magnetoferritin and potential future applications for tumor magnetic hyperthermia treatment and heat-triggered drug release.

The activation of MNPs for hyperthermia therapy via an external alternating magnetic field is an interesting method in targeted cancer therapy. This mini-review explains new developments and implications of magnetic nanofluids mediated magnetic hyperthermia for their potential use in future clinical settings. The external alternating magnetic field generates heat in the tumor area to eliminate cancer cells. Depending on the tumor type and targeted area, several kinds of MNPs with different coating agents of various morphology and surface charge have been developed. The tunable physiochemical characteristics of MNPs enhance their heating capability. In addition, heating efficiency is strongly associated with the amount of the applied magnetic field and frequency. The great efforts have offered promising preclinical trials of magnetic hyperthermia via MNPs as a smart nanoagent. MNPs are very appropriate to be considered as a heating source in MHT and prospective research in this field will lead to tackle the problems from chemotherapy and introduce promising therapeutic techniques and nanodrug formulations for remotely controlled drug release and anticancer effects. This mini-review aims to pinpoint synthesis and structural analysis of various magnetic nanoparticles examined for magnetic hyperthermia therapy and controlled drug release in cancer treatment.

An important research effort on the design of the magnetic particles is increasingly required to optimize the heat generation in biomedical applications, such as magnetic hyperthermia and heat-assisted drug release, considering the severe restrictions for the human body’s exposure to an alternating magnetic field. Magnetic nanoparticles, considered in a broad sense as passive sensors, show the ability to detect an alternating magnetic field and to transduce it into a localized increase of temperature. In this context, the high biocompatibility, easy synthesis procedure and easily tunable magnetic properties of ferrite powders make them ideal candidates. In particular, the tailoring of their chemical composition and cation distribution allows the control of their magnetic properties, tuning them towards the strict demands of these heat-assisted biomedical applications. In this work, Co0.76Zn0.24Fe2O4, Li0.375Zn0.25Fe2.375O4 and ZnFe2O4 mixed-structure ferrite powders were synthesized in a ‘dry gel’ form by a sol-gel auto-combustion method. Their microstructural properties and cation distribution were obtained by X-ray diffraction characterization. Static and dynamic magnetic measurements were performed revealing the connection between the cation distribution and magnetic behavior. Particular attention was focused on the effect of Co2+ and Li+ ions on the magnetic properties at a magnetic field amplitude and the frequency values according to the practical demands of heat-assisted biomedical applications. In this context, the specific loss power (SLP) values were evaluated by ac-hysteresis losses and thermometric measurements at selected values of the dynamic magnetic fields.

The activation of magnetic nanoparticles in hyperthermia treatment by an external alternating magnetic field is a promising technique for targeted cancer therapy. The external alternating magnetic field generates heat in the tumor area, which is utilized to kill cancerous cells. Depending on the tumor type and site to be targeted, various types of magnetic nanoparticles, with variable coating materials of different shape and surface charge, have been developed. The tunable physical and chemical properties of magnetic nanoparticles enhance their heating efficiency. Moreover, heating efficiency is directly related with the product values of the applied magnetic field and frequency. Protein corona formation is another important parameter affecting the heating efficiency of MNPs in magnetic hyperthermia. This review provides the basics of magnetic hyperthermia, mechanisms of heat losses, thermal doses for hyperthermia therapy, and strategies to improve heating efficiency. The purpose of this review is to build a bridge between the synthesis/coating of magnetic nanoparticles and their practical application in magnetic hyperthermia.

Nanosized particles of AFe2O4(A = Mn, Co, Ni, or Zn) spinel ferrites were synthesized by coprecipitation from nonaqueous solutions using nitrate salts as starting reagents. The particles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and magnetic measurements. Quasistatic magnetic measurements show superparamagnetic behavior with blocking temperature below room temperature for cobalt, nickel, and zinc spinel ferrite nanoparticles. Characteristic magnetic parameters of the particles including average magnetic moment of an individual nanoparticle and blocking temperature have been determined. The specific loss power which is released on the exposure of an ensemble of synthesized particles to a magnetic field is calculated and measured experimentally. It is shown that among all nanoferrites under study, the ZnFe2O4nanoparticles demonstrate the highest heating efficiency in AC magnetic fields. The key parameters responsible for the heating efficiency in AC magnetic field have been determined. The directions to enhance the SLP value have been outlined.

The application of an alternating magnetic field (0.54 T) was observed to lead to an improvement in the fatigue endurance and an increase in Vickers microhardness and tensile strength of both EN8 steel and AA2014-T6 alloy. Fractography using scanning electron microscopy showed evidence of more ductile fracture features after treatment in contrast to untreated samples. The results of X-ray diffraction indicated formation of more compressive residual stresses following treatment; while examination by transmission electron microscopy showed evidence of fewer dislocations. In the case of the AA2014-T6 alloy; Guinier-Preston (GP) zones were also generated by the alternating magnetic field. However; the temperature increase during the treatment was too low to explain these observations. The results were attributed to the non-thermal effect of the alternating magnetic field treatment that led to depinning and movement of dislocations and secondary precipitation of copper.

Double perovskite Sr 2 FeMoO 6 (SFMO) with composition of Sr 2-x La x Fe 1-y Co y MoO 6(x = 0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5 at.%; y = 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.9 at.%) was synthesized by high energy ball milling and sintering. The sintered samples were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and magnetic measurements. XRD results show that all the samples have single phase double perovskite structure. EDS spectrum confirmed that the actual composition of prepared samples is in agreement with nominal ones. With the increase of doping concentration of La, the magnetization decreases, whereas Curie temperature increases in SFMO. And with doping concentration of La, the magnetoresistance (MR) ratio with a low magnetic field of 480 kA/m increases, has its maximum value as 5% for x = 0.3 at 293 K. The degree of antisite disorder decreases with Co 2+ doping, and therefore results in increase of MR ratio. At room temperature, the MR ratio with a considerable low magnetic field for x = 0.3, y = 0.1 has maximum value as 6.5%.
