The prepared magnetic microspheres had spherical core-shell structure with a uniform and continuous carbon coating coupled with activation by EDC, and possessed superparamagnetic characteristics. The experimental results showed that the adsorption amount of BSA on the EDC-activated Fe3O4/C（Fe3O4/C-EDC） microspheres was higher than that on the Fe3O4/C microspheres. The maximum adsorption of BSA on Fe3O4/C-EDC microspheres occurred at pH 4.7, which was the isoelectric point of BSA. At low concentrations（below 1.0 M）, salt had no noticeable effect on BSA adsorption. The BSA adsorption of Fe3O4/C-EDC microspheres had a better fit to the Langmuir model than the Freundlich isotherm and Temkin isotherm model, and the kinetic data were well described by the pseudo-second-order model. The adsorption equilibrium could be reached within 20 min. High desorption efficiency（97.6%） of BSA from Fe3O4/C-EDC microspheres was obtained with 0.5 M Na2HPO4（pH 9.4） as the desorbent.展开更多

These nanoparticles were obtained by modifing the Fe3O4 nanoparticles with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxy silane, and then grafting alginate onto the surface of amine magnetic. The hollow structure of Fe3O4 spheres was characterized by TEM, XRD, and XPS. The M-H hysteresis loop indicated that the magnetic spheres exhibit snperparamagnetic characteristics at room temperature. Daunorubicin acting as a model drug was loaded into the carrier, and the maximum percent of envelop and load were 28.4% and 14.2% respectively. The drug controlled releasing behaviors of the carriers were compared in different pH media.展开更多

The synthesized nanoparticles were characterized using a variety of techniques, including Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). These characterizations confirmed the successful formation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The FTIR spectra identified characteristic peaks corresponding to the functional groups present, and XRD analysis, using Scherer’s equation, determined an average crystalline size of 1.2 nm for the Fe3O4 nanoparticles. TGA results demonstrated the thermal stability of the nanoparticles, SEM imaging revealed distinct honeycomb-like structures for the nanoparticles synthesized with water as the solvent, while the VSM analysis was used to determine the magnetic behavior of the nanoparticles.展开更多
