Synthesis, Characterization and Toxic Metal-Binding Ability of Poly(γ-glutamic acid)-coated Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles

Chen B.H., Inbaraj B.S., Fu Jen University, TW

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONPs) coated with a non-toxic, edible biopolymer poly(-glutamic acid) (PGA-coated SPIONs) were synthesized by co-precipitation method, characterized and evaluated for their possible toxic metal-binding ability in the treatment of metal intoxication [...]

Synthesis, Characterization and Antibacterial Activity of Glycol Chitosan Modified Superparamagnetic Nanoparticles

Chen B.H., Inbaraj B.S., Fu Jen University, TW

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) are particularly attractive as antibacterial agents owing to their precise bacterial biofilm and cell targeting in vivo achieved by magnetic driving. In this work, superparamagnetic IONPs modified with water-soluble glycol [...]
