Effect of divalent ion of strontium substitution on the structural, optical, magnetic and blood compatibility studies in cobalt ferrite

“…It has been reported that magnetic Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles may lead to apoptosis of RBCs causing eryptosis and hemolysis in the early and later phases [76]. The acanthocyte development-triggering effects of titanium dioxide, silicon oxide, and iron oxide nanoparticles have also been emphasized by various literature studies [77][78][79]. Even the nanoparticles with the highest percentage of hemolysis at 3.0 mg ml −1 concentration among the samples examined had hemolysis value lower than the acceptable upper limit of 5%, changes in the morphological structure of some erythrocytes were observed under the light microscope (see figure 7).…”
