Abstract
Size-controllable monodispersed ferrite microspheres to nanoparticles have been synthesized with a range of particle sizes from 10 to 1500 nm. The particle's grain size can also be tuned from 5.9 to 21.5 nm. Some of these spheres have been coated efficiently with silica, poly(aniline), dendrimer, etc., to yield well-defined core/shell-like structures. These magnetic microspheres have been functionalized successfully with organic moieties such as crown ethers, acting as a tool for the magnetic separation of discrete functional gold nanoparticles. Moreover, ultrasmall magnetic nanoparticles have been employed as both in vitro and in vivo magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents.
