Temperature-induced switchable magnetite nanoparticle superstructures

Abstract

In this study we describe the green synthesis of temperature-switchable polymer-magnetite nanoparticles (PMNPs) in water at room temperature via an improved co-precipitation pathway. The temperature responsiveness was achieved through the surface modification with a vinyl-based dual-stimuli-responsive block copolymer. Furthermore, these PMNPs enable the investigation of temperature-induced magnetic superstructures and their medical application.
