Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles have attracted attention due to their compatibility with various biomedical applications. The quantum confinement and increased surface area to volume ratio of the nanostructures alter their magnetic properties. There are several bottom-up techniques to synthesize superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles; however, they offer certain limitations, like the existence of a secondary phase. The reaction parameters can be controlled to form pure-phase nanoparticles to increase their scope of applications in the field of medicine. Moreover, different applications demand different surface coatings of iron oxide nanoparticles.
