Development of Stable, Water-Dispersible, and Biofunctionalizable Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles

Abstract: Water-dispersible superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were synthesized by thermal decomposition of iron(III) acetylacetonate in the presence of triethylene glycol (TREG). The resulting TREG-coated SPIONs were not stable, undergoing agglomeration and loss of the TREG coating under prolonged storage at 37 °C or in the presence of increased saline concentrations. To avoid these problems, stable colloidal TREG-coated SPIONs were obtained by two different procedures: (i) dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMS… Show more

“…When the temperature of the mixture is near to 180°C, the color of the solution changes continuously from dark red to black, indicating the decomposition of the iron complexes and the nuclei formation in the solution. The further increasing of the temperature above 180°C, enhancesthe monomer diffusion over the surface of the nanoparticles, increasing the growth rate, and also upgrading the crystallinity of the particles [24,25].…”

“…Other works studying the characteristics of the obtained nanoparticles were reported after the work of Cai and Wan [21][22][23][24][25][26]. MiguelSancho et al [24] discussed the stability of nanoparticles in relation with agglomeration process by using either dimercaptosuccinicacid (DMSA) or chemical modification of TEG coating. In a more recent paper, Miguel-Sancho et al [25] showed the influence of some experimental parameters on particle size, as initial precursor concentration, decomposition time and heating rate.…”

“…superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) were synthesized by a polyol-mediated method according to the synthesis procedure described elsewhere. [26][27] DMSA-FexOy nanoparticles were obtained via a ligand-exchange reaction process described in a previous work of our laboratory 28 The synthesis conditions were tailored to obtain SPION nanoparticles larger than the silica pores. Briefly, a DMSA aqueous solution (30 mg mL -1 ) was strongly mixed with a TEGcoated-SPIONs aqueous solution at room temperature.…”
