Preparation and characteristics of Fe3O4@YVO4:Eu3+ bifunctional magnetic–luminescent nanocomposites

Preparation of Ni0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4/SiO2 nanocomposites and their adsorption of bovine serum albumin

“…Now, the MNPs have been widely applied to biological and medical areas [3][4][5], such as drug and gene delivery [6,7], the control of cells and cellular function [8,9], therapeutic hyperthermia [10,11], bioseparation [12,13], magnetic resonance imaging [14][15][16][17], and quantitative immunoassay [18,19]. Beyond the biomedical area, interesting studies have been reported on the use of MNPs for ferrofluids, data storage, and catalysis [20].…”

Bifunctional nanocomposites Fe3O4/MOS/CdTe with magnetic and luminescent functionalities

“…Fe 3 O 4 , are additional important materials due to their interesting magnetic properties and have been widely used in different fields, including advanced technological areas and biomedical applications, 10 for instance, biomacromolecules separation, 11 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), 12 and targeted drug delivery, 13 as well as biosensors and concentration of trace amount of samples. 14 Although superparamagnetic and luminescent nanoparticles have their own distinguish properties, they cannot show the multiple functions if they are used on their own. [15][16][17][18] It is necessary to constitute a multifunctional nanoplatform by integrating multiple nanoparticle components into a single nanosystem by various techniques.…”

A simple approach for the synthesis of bifunctional Fe3O4@Gd2O3:Eu3+ core–shell nanocomposites

“…However, these nanoparticles have intrinsic limitations [29][30][31]. Rare earth doped nanoparticles have been studied because of their novel chemical and physical properties, and have been recognized as a promising new class of fluorescent biological labels [32][33][34]. In contrast to semiconductor quantum dots, rare-earth doped nanoparticles are associated with a number of advantages: (1) the emission wavelength of lanthanide nanoparticles is independent of the particle size [35].…”
