Question

Simple route for the synthesis of iron nanoparticles

Answer 1

In the past decade, the synthesis of superparamagnetic nanoparticles has been intensively developed not only for its fundamental scientific interest but also for many technological applications: among others, magnetic storage media, 1 biosensing applications, 2 medical applications, such as targeted drug delivery, 3, 4 contrast agents in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 5–12 and magnetic inks for jet printing. 13 The control of the monodisperse size is very important because the properties of the nanocrystals strongly depend upon the …
