Synthesis and Characterization of Au/Fe3O4 Nanocomposite
Abstract:
A new kind of surface-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles was fabricated by surface modification of ferroferric oxide with monolayer-protected gold nanoparticles. Ferroferric oxide nanoparticles were firstly synthesized by co-precipitating Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions in base solution, and then coated with a layer of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane by silanization reaction. Gold nanoparticles were surface-attached with 2-mercapto-4-methyl-5-thiazoleacetic acid which were subsequently linked to the modified ferroferric oxide nanoparticles to produce Au/Fe3O4 composite materials. The outer layer of ligand (2-mercapto-4-methyl-5-thiazoleacetic acid) on Au/Fe3O4 can function as binding sites for drugs and biomolecules, whereas the innermost magnetic cores are able to respond to an externally applied magnetic field. The as-synthesized Au/Fe3O4 nanocomposite is superparamagnetic (31.4 emu/g), thus rendering it potentially applicable in magnetic drug delivery and bioseparation.
