Carboxyl group (–CO2H) functionalized ferrimagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles for potential bio-applications

Yu, Shi, Chow, Gan Moog·2004·J. Mater. Chem.

Abstract

A new approach to prepare surface-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles by synthesis of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) coated maghemite nanoparticles in aqueous solution is reported. Maghemite (γ-Fe2O3) nanoparticles with an average diameter of 8 ± 2 nm were fabricated and subsequently coated with PMAA by emulsion polymerization. The FTIR study and thermal analysis confirmed the chemical adsorption of methacrylic acid on the maghemite nanoparticle surface, and suggested a symmetrical carboxylate bonding. The free carboxyl group of PMAA, which was verified by FTIR spectroscopy and zeta potential measurement, provided the site for immobilization of foreign molecules. The PMAA coated maghemite nanoparticles were demonstrated as potential magnetically targeted drug carriers by adsorbing an anti-cancer drug (carboplatin) via the ion–dipole interaction between CO2− of PMAA and carboplatin.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
