Characterization of the magnetic nanoparticles.

Notes: (A) Magnetization curve of manganese ferrite-based PhMNPs. The insert shows the X-ray diffraction pattern of ferrite-based nanoparticles. (B) Size distribution obtained from the transmission electron microscopy picture. The inset shows a transmission electron microscopy picture of the manganese ferrite-based CiMNPs sample. (C) Dynamic light scattering intensity as a function of hydrodynamic particle size for distinct manganese ferrite-based colloids. The BaMNPs correspond to the ionic magnetic fluid (ie, under acidic conditions) while, for the other two colloids, the samples were under physiological conditions. (D) Zeta potential pH dependence for the CiMNPs-based nanofluid.

Abbreviations: BaMNPs, bare magnetic nanoparticles; CiMNPs, citrate-coated magnetic nanoparticles; PhMNPs, tripolyphosphate-coated magnetic nanoparticles.
