Blocking Properties of Superparamagnetic Magnetite Nanoparticles and Gold/Superparamagnetic Magnetite Composite Nanoparticles

Abstract:

The UV and IR block properties of superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles (SPMN) and SPMN/gold composite nanoparticles are investigated. The composite nanoparticles were prepared via sonochemical assisted reduction of gold precursor and deposition of gold nanoparticles (GNP) on amine functionalized SPMN. Protective properties of the SPMN and the composite nanoparticles were demonstrated via spectrophotometer measurements. Unlike in the visible and infrared region, there was 0% transmission of radiation through bare SPMN in the UV region. The presence GNP in the composites nanoparticles affects the protecting properties of the SPMN with almost 40% transmission in the UV region. The SPMN/GNP composite nanoparticles were able to block some radiation in the visible region. On the other hand, there was nearly uniform 90% and continuous transmission of infrared rays in naked SPMN and SPMN/GNP composite nanoparticles, respectively.
