Abstract |
Carbon encapsulated magnetic nanoparticles can find many prospective biomedical applications, e.g., in drug and gene delivery systems, disease detection, cancer therapy, rapid toxic cleaning, biochemical sensing, and magnetic resonance imaging. Each of these applications hinges on the relationship between magnetic fields and biological systems. Herein we present the results on the thermal stability of carbon encapsulated Fe-Nd-B nanoparticles. The products were synthesized by using Radio Frequency thermal plasma. Thermal stability was investigated by thermogravimetry and differential thermal analyses. Carbon nanostructures were thermally stable up to 600-700 K. |
