Synthesis of MFe2O4 (M = Fe, Mn) Nanoparticles with Tunable Sizes
Abstract
Monodisperse MFe2O4 ferrite nanoparticles (with M = Fe, and Mn) of narrow size distribution has been achieved in a one step synthesis by thermal decomposition of Mn (II) oleate and Fe (III) oleate, with tunable sizes between 5 and 20 nm. These nanoparticles were functionalized with dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA), 11-mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) and bis(carboxymethyl)(2-maleimidylethyl)ammonium 4-toluenesulfonate (MATS) for possible biomedical applications.
