Magnetite nanoparticles are attractive for biomedical applications such as magnetic fluid hyperthermia (MFH), a novel cancer treatment, due to their ability to induce heating through energy dissipation in an oscillating ...

A comprehensive study of physical and magnetic properties of cobalt substituted ferrite and magnetite nanoparticles synthesized by thermal-decomposition was carried out. Initially, a systematic study of the effect of ...

The work presented in this dissertation focuses primarily on the rheological characterization of magneto-responsive fluids, consisting of suspensions of magnetic nanoparticles in non-magnetic liquid media. The rheology of ...

Suspended ferrite magnetic nanoparticles are known to dissipate energy under an oscillating magnetic field. Such energy dissipation could be employed to locally raise temperature inside a tumor to 41-45°C (hyperthermia), ...

The work presented as part of this thesis describes a process to obtain two types of conventionally used magnetic nanoparticles, magnetite and cobalt ferrite, with a narrow size distribution that can be suspended in aqueous ...

In this contribution, Brownian dynamics simulations of spherical, thermally blocked, magnetic nanoparticles under applied shear and magnetic fields were studied. Equilibrium and dynamical properties as well as rheological ...

The synthesis of magnetic nanoparticles which respond to alternating magnetic fields by Brownian and Neel relaxation mechanisms are of great interest in determining mechanical properties of complex fluids in the size scale ...

Magnetically actuated nanovectors are prepared through the combination of magnetic nanoparticles and thermoresponsive materials that facilitate the release of the drug when heated at a temperature slightly above the normal ...
