Characterization of PSPps encapsulated with truncated octahedral Fe3O4 nanoparticles (IONPs) in the hydrophobic compartment (IONPs-PSPps NPs). (A) TEM image of IONPs-PSPps NPs. (B) Hysteresis loops of IONPs (blue curve) and IONPs-PSPps NPs (orange curve) at 300 K. The insets are enlarged hysteresis curves, and BR and HC correspond to their remnant magnetization and coercivity, respectively. Saturation magnetizations (MS) were calculated based on the weight of Fe3O4. Calculated relaxivity (r2) values of (C) IONPs and (D) IONPs-PSPps NPs based on the T2 relaxation rate versus iron ion concentration.
