A REVIEW ON MAGNETIC MICRO/NANOPARTICLES

Abstract

This review focuses on the recent advances in the prepn. and application of magnetic micro/nanoparticles specially it covers (a) methods of prepn. (such as by co pptn., pyrolysis, hydrothermal, solvent thermal, sol-gel, micro-emulsion, sonochem. methods, and (b) application such as hyperthermic therapy, magnetic gene therapy, magnetic hyperthermia, diagnosis of cancer cells, magnetic sepn., magnetorelaxometry, test of prothrombin time for leukemia, solid phase extn., atherosclerosis imaging, nanomagnetic mol. sensing.
