The purpose of this study was to prepare human serum albumin (HSA) microspheres with Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles for tumor target therapy. Fe(3)O(4) was obtained by liquid-phase coprecipitation; HSA-coated magnetic particles were attained by solidification at high temperature. The result was that nanosized Fe(3)O(4) is a cubic crystal by XRD and the average size is 18.7 nm; the average size of HSA-coated magnetic particles is 341 nm. Fe(3)O(4) magnetic nanoparticles coated with HSA can be used for targeted-drug carriers with target-orientation and sustained-release properties.

The 2-substituted benzimidazole has emerged as a promising heterocyclic compound in the field of drug design. In pursuit of more sustainable photocatalysts for 2-substituted benzimidazole synthesis, the method for coating FeO with V-doped TiO was presented. On the base of characterizing composition, morphology, and properties, the prepared nano-sized FeO@V/TiO composites were used as a heterogeneous photocatalyst to catalyze the synthesis of 2-substituted benzimidazoles under light.

A magnetic-biopolymer composite of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), designated as FeO@CMC, was synthesized featuring remarkable stability and an active surface with a green biosynthetic method. This composite was engineered to serve as a substrate for stabilizing silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) with enhanced functional properties. The catalytic efficacy of the nanocatalyst, incorporating Ag NPs at concentrations of 3%, 7%, and 10%, was evaluated for the reduction of the toxic compound 4-nitrophenol to the beneficial 4-aminophenol.

In this research, a rationally-designed strategy was employed to address the crucial issue of removing nano-plastics (NPs) from aquatic environments, which was based on fabricating sea urchin-like structures of FeO magnetic robots (MagRobots). Through imitating the sea urchin's telescopic tube foot movement and predation mechanism, the unique structures of the MagRobots were designed to adapt to the size and surface interactions of NPs, leading to a high efficiency of NPs removal (99%), as evidenced by the superior performance of 594.3 mg/g for the removal of polystyrene (PS) nanoparticles from water, with 3300% increase over magnetic FeO without structural design.

In low-temperature, high-humidity environments, the condensation of water vapor within microstructures can initiate a detrimental cycle of hydrophobic failure, high-adhesion ice formation, and microstructural degradation, thereby limiting the practical application of superhydrophobic coatings in anti-icing and de-icing technologies. Therefore, enhancing the hydrophobic stability and mechanical durability of these coatings under such conditions is imperative. This study presents a novel approach where rigid FeO nanoparticles are encapsulated within porous diatomaceous earth (DME) and combined with high-adhesion acrylic resin (AR), resulting in a superhydrophobic photothermal coating that possesses both active and passive de-icing capabilities, fabricated through a straightforward one-step spraying technique.

A novel water-soluble polymer nanocomposite containing ultra-small iron oxide nanoparticles, intercalated into a biocompatible matrix of 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole and -vinylpyrrolidone copolymer has been synthesized for the first time. The use of an original polymer matrix ensured effective stabilization of the crystalline phase of iron oxides at an early stage of its formation in an ultra-small (2-8 nm, average diameter is 4.8 nm) nanosized state due to its effective interaction with the functional groups of copolymer macromolecules.
