Abstract
In this study, magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) were dispersed uniformly by varying the thickness of the SiO2 coating, and their electronic and magnetic properties were investigated. X-ray diffraction confirmed the structural configuration of monophase inverse-spinel Fe3O4 NPs in nanometer size. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the formation of proper nonporous crystallite particles with a clear core-shell structure with silica on the surface of Fe3O4 NPs. The absorption mechanism studied through the zeta potential indicates that SiO2-coated Fe3O4 nanocomposites (SiO2@Fe3O4 NCs) possess electrostatic interactions to control their agglomeration in stabilizing suspensions by providing a protective shield of amorphous SiO2 on the oxide surface. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy images demonstrate a spherical morphology having an average grain diameter of ∼11-17 nm with increasing thickness of SiO2 coating with the addition of a quantitative presence and proportion of elements determined through elemental mapping and electron energy loss spectroscopy studies. Synchrotron-based element-specific soft X-ray absorption spectroscopy and X-ray magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD) techniques have been involved in the bulk-sensitive total fluorescence yield mode to understand the origin of magnetization in SiO2@Fe3O4 NCs. The magnetization hysteresis of Fe3O4 was determined by XMCD. At room temperature, the magnetic coercivity (Hc) is as high as 1 T, which is about 2 times more than the value of the thin film and about 5 times more pronounced than that of NPs. For noninteracting single-domain NPs with the Hc spread from 1 to 3 T, the Stoner-Wohlfarth model provided an intriguing explanation for the hysteresis curve. These curves determine the different components of Fe oxides present in the samples that derive the remnant magnetization involved in each oxidation state of Fe and clarify which Fe component is responsible for the resultant magnetism and magnetocrystalline anisotropy based on noninteracting single-domain particles.

Abstract
Monodisperse magnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (MNPs) were prepared by a simple, improved, one-pot solvothermal synthesis using SDS and PEG 6000 as double capping reagents. This double protecting layer afforded better MNP uniformity (Z average 257 ± 11.12 nm, PDI = 0.18) and colloidal stability. Materials were characterized by DLS, SEM, TEM, XPS, and XRD. The use of these MNPs in the synthesis of core-shell structures with uniform and tunable silica coatings was demonstrated, as silica coated MNPs are important for use in a range of applications, including magnetic separation and catalysis and as platforms for templated nanogel synthesis.

Uskoković V, Huynh E, Tang S, Jovanović S, Wu VM. Colloids or powders: Which nanoparticle formulations do cells like more? Colloids Surf B Biointerfaces 2019; 181:39-47. [PMID: 31121380 DOI: 10.1016/j.colsurfb.2019.05.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/24/2019] [Revised: 05/08/2019] [Accepted: 05/09/2019] [Indexed: 01/24/2023]
Abstract
Understanding the difference in physicochemical properties and biological response between colloidal and powder formulations of identical materials is important before the given materials are used in a medical milieu. In this study we compared a set of biological effects of colloidal and powder formulations of composite nanoparticles comprising superparamagnetic iron oxide cores and silicate/carbon shells. Magnetic dipole interaction between adjacent nanoparticles was more pronounced in their powders than in their colloidal formulations. Nanoparticles delivered as powders were thus more responsive to the magnetic field, but exhibited reduced uptake in bone and brain cancer cells, including K7M2 osteosarcoma line and U87 and E297 glioblastoma lines. Specifically, while the alternate magnetic field elicited a more rapid heat generation in cell culture media supplemented with the magnetic powders, the nanoparticles dispersed in the same media were uptaken by the cancer cells more copiously. The cellular uptake proved to be more crucial in defining the effect on cell survival, given that suspended formulations elicited a greater degree of cancer cell death in the magnetic field compared to the powder-containing formulations. Because of this effect, colloidal formulations were able to target cancer cells more effectively than the powders: they reduced the viability of all three tested cancer cell lines to a significantly greater degree that the viability of the normal, MDCK-MDR1 cell line. It is concluded that better uptake profile can make up for the lower heating rate in the AC field and lead to a more effective magnetic hyperthermia therapy. These results also demonstrate that the direct delivery of ferrofluids is more optimal than the administration of their constitutive particles as powders.
