Improving the Theranostic Potential of Magnetic Nanoparticles by Coating with Natural Rubber Latex for Ultrasound, Photoacoustic Imaging, and Magnetic Hyperthermia: An In Vitro Study.

Background/objectives: Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) have gained attention in theranostics for their ability to combine diagnostic imaging and therapeutic capabilities in a single platform, enhancing targeted treatment and monitoring. Surface coatings are essential for stabilizing MNPs, improving biocompatibility, and preventing oxidation that could compromise their functionality. Natural rubber latex (NRL) offers a promising coating alternative due to its biocompatibility and stability-enhancing properties.

Synthesis and high-frequency magnetoelectric characterization of the 0-3 particulate lead-free multiferroic composite KNN/CFO.

The research for lead-free magnetoelectric (ME) multiferroic composite materials has increased considerably because they are environmentally friendly. For composites with 0-3 connectivity, synthesis with lead-free phase has proven challenging to obtain high values of ME coupling. This work reports the successful synthesis of the KNN/CFO composite (KNNbO/CoFeO) by conventional synthesis process.
