Sonochemical Synthesis of Magnetite/Poly(lactic acid) Nanocomposites.

Nanocomposites based on poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and magnetite nanoparticles (MNP-FeO) show promise for applications in biomedical treatments. One key challenge is to improve the stabilization and dispersion of MNP-FeO. To address this, we synthesized MNP-FeO/PLA nanocomposites using ultrasound mediation and a single iron(II) precursor, eliminating the need for surfactants or organic solvents, and conducted the process under ambient conditions.
