High energy ball milling (HEBM) has been used for the first time to prepare PEGylated magnetite-silica (Fe(3)O(4)-SiO(2)) nanocomposites intended to be used for biological purposes. Surface amine groups were introduced by a silanization reaction involving 3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTS) followed by PEGylation to yield long-term stable and stealth nanocomposites of 200nm in diameter. The efficient coverage by PEG chains was shown by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) where PEGylated nanocomposites did not interact with BSA compared to non-PEGylated counterparts which led to a significant change in enthalpy. By cell viability (MTT) assays and cell morphology investigations, it was evidenced that PEGylated Fe(3)O(4)-SiO(2) nanocomposites did not provide any appreciable cytotoxicity on J774 macrophage and MCF-7 breast cancer cell lines. Furthermore, noticeable internalization was evidenced by J774 cells with PEGylated Fe(3)O(4)-SiO(2) nanocomposites in contrast to MCF-7 cells, in good agreement with the respective tendency of each cell line for endocytosis.

Significant efforts have been dedicated to creating recyclable and efficient methods for treating waste dyes, including rhodamine B (RhB). Nevertheless, challenges such as complex operational techniques, high costs, energy consumption, and inefficacy in dye removal persist. Here, the synthesis and application of TiO/FeO/SiO for photocatalytic degradation of RhB dye pollutants have been explored.

The early monitoring and inactivation of bacteria are of crucial importance in preventing the further spread of foodborne pathogens. (), a prototypical foodborne pathogen, is widely present in the natural environment and has the capability to trigger a range of diseases at low concentrations. In this work, we designed FeO@SiO-Au core-shell-satellite nanocomposites (NCs) modified with aptamer for efficient capture, high-sensitivity surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) detection, and photothermal therapy (PTT) against .

Article Synopsis
- The paper introduces a novel method using FeO@SiO@Au nanoparticles to enhance the detection of T-2 toxin through surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors.
- The FeO@SiO@AuNPs not only amplify SPR signals but also aid in the separation and concentration of T-2 toxin using a magnetic field.
- Results indicate a linear relationship between T-2 toxin concentration and SPR signal, achieving a detection limit of 0.57 ng/mL, suggesting improved sensitivity for biosensors in small molecule detection and disease diagnosis.
A novel superparamagnetic nano-composite of Fe3O4@SiO2 coated by tragacanth gum (TG) as a natural product has been prepared. The obtained SiO2@Fe3O4@TG nanoparticles were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, scanning electron microscopy and dynamic light scattering analyzer. The magnetic nano-composite was applied for the loading and delivery of metformin, an oral diabetes medicine.

The abundant release of toxic heavy metals into wastewater has been a serious threat to human health, aquatic environments, plants, and animals; thus, it is critical to purify wastewater of these pollutants through a proper treatment process. A novel hydrogel compound was synthesized using partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (PHPAm) and functionalized FeO-coated magnetic nanoparticles (PHPAm/FeO@SiO-SH) that is efficient in removal of mercury and lead from wastewater. This new magnetic nanoadsorbent is characterized using scanning electron microscope, Fourier-transform infrared, thermogravimetric analysis, vibrating sample magnetometer, and energy-dispersive X-ray analysis.
