Modification of magnetite nanoparticles with biomimetic poly[2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl phosphorycholine] (poly(MPC)) via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) was carried out. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analyses (TGA) and zeta potential studies indicated that well defined poly (MPC) was successfully grafted on the surface of magnetite nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction results showed the structure of magnetite nanoparticles after surface modification was not changed. The poly (MPC)-coated magnetite nanoparticles had a mean transmission electron microscopy (TEM) diameter of 11 +/- 1.5 nm. The resulting nanomaterials were superparamagnetic at room temperature, exhibited good colloidal stability in aqueous media and good responsibility to magnetic field. Such magnetite nanoparticles with biomimetic surface have potential application in prolonging circulation time in vivo.

Magnetite nanoparticles have been successfully used for removal and immobilization of contaminants in water, yet their application in soils combined with in situ magnetic separation remains unexplored. We evaluated the effectiveness and optimal conditions for using magnetite nanoparticles combined with magnetic separation to remove metal(loid)s from contaminated mine soils. Soil samples were incubated (15, 45 days) with varying doses of magnetite (0, 25, 50 g kg⁻¹) and moisture (dry, field capacity) and separated using electromagnet or permanent magnet.

There is a debate about the implications of the effect of nanoparticles or nanomaterials on edible plants and soil organisms. Earthworms have been used to evaluate soil quality, reproduction, survival, and other biochemical parameters when organisms are exposed to nanomaterials. Most studies have been performed in laboratory settings, and little has been studied under realistic conditions, especially when earthworms and corn plants share the same natural soil and organic matter space.

Iron oxide nanoparticles, recognized for their superparamagnetic properties, are promising for future healthcare therapies. However, their extensive use in medicine and electronics contributes to their discharge into our environments, highlighting the need for further research on their cellular damage effects on aquatic organisms. While the detrimental properties of other compounds have been stated in the early-life stages of fish, the cytotoxic consequences of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) in these stages are still unexplored.
