Self-thermoregulating Ferromagnetic FeNi filled Carbon Nanotubes for Magnetic Hyperthermia Cancer Therapy

Abstract

The mechanism of magnetic hyperthermia is introduced in this article. Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have been used in magnetic hyperthermia cancer therapy. But its drawback is uncontrollable excess heat generation to ablate noamal cells. Recently a new method using ferromagnetic Fe/Ni alloy have been studied. In this article, I will introduce my research in fabricating multiwall carbon nanotubes filled with Fe/Ni alloy. It is indicated that this nanostructure has the potential to become a guaranteed cancer treatment.
