The developed methods using tetraethoxysilane and trifunctional silanes were applied to obtain Fe 3 O 4 magnetic particles that contain amino groups with compositions of ≡Si(CH 2 ) 3 NH 2 , ≡Si(CH 2 ) 3 NH(CH 2 ) 2 NH 2 , and [≡Si(CH 2 ) 3 ] 2 NH. The XRD data show that the nuclei of nanoparticles in the obtained materials preserve the structure of the primary carrier, namely, that of Fe 3 O 4 magnetite. The ther mograms show a high thermal stability of the applied surface layers, i.e., their destruction was found to start at temperature above 250°C. The DRIFT spectra indicate the formation of the silica bond framework in the surface layers of nanoparticles and also the existence of hydrogen bonds between amino groups and silanol groups with the participation of water molecules aided. All of the obtained materials exhibit magnetic prop erties and offer promising application in medicine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
