Gelatin (GN) is a polymer, which is similar to the protein derived from collagen, an organic element in the bone. GN can incorporate into the mineral part of the bone, hydroxyapatite (HA). The HA bioceramic has properties very close to the natural bone characteristics. Therefore, in this research, bio-nanocomposite scaffolds made of the HA composed with magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) are fabricated. For this purpose, the space holder technique is put to use using NaCl particles as the spacers. The HA-X%MNP (X = 0 wt%, 5 wt%, 10 wt%, and 15 wt%) scaffolds are coated via gelatin-ibuprofen (GN-IBO) in order to determine the capabilities of the scaffolds for compatibility and fibroblastic cells of the related tissue. The coated bio-nanocomposite scaffolds are characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) tools. Then, the porosity and bioactivity of the prepared samples are tested in the simulated body fluid (SBF), and the associated compressive strength, fracture toughness, porosity and hardness are investigated. Also, the magnetic behavior of the scaffolds during the release of IBO in the phosphate buffer saline (PBS) is monitored after 21 days incubation. Finally, an analytical sandwich plate model is developed to analyze the vibrational response of an axially loaded plate-type HA-MNP bio-nanocomposite implants. The obtained X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirms the presence of IBO peaks after removing the samples from the PBS which proves the lower release speed of the sample containing 10 wt% MNPs. It is found that the interaction between IBO and HA affects the mechanical performance of the scaffolds. IBO release profiles present a burst release that depends on the HA content. The given results indicate that the manufactured scaffolds have good potentials for biological as well as hyperthermia applications in bone tissue engineering.

Composite photocatalysts based on metal nanoparticles and functional polymers attract much attention compared to inorganic photocatalysts. In this study, a reusable magnetite/anion exchanger (FeO/PPE-2) functional material is synthesized by a hydrothermal method, and its photocatalytic activity is evaluated for the photocatalytic degradation of Rhodamine B (RhB). The results from materials characterization confirm a well-defined morphology of magnetic FeO/PPE-2 functional material and the formation of FeO nanocrystals with different shapes and sizes on the surface of anion exchange material (PPE-2).

As a primary abiotic constraint for bean cultivation in semi-arid regions, drought stress significantly impacts both the yield and quality of beans. Foliar application of nanofertilizer has been shown to effectively improve crop yield and nutritional quality while mitigating environmental pollution associated with fertilizer runoff. In this study, we conducted a semi-field study using magnetite nanoparticles (FeONPs) to evaluate its effects on the growth, yield, nutrient quality, photosynthetic parameters, and physiological traits in kidney bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.

Natural enzymes are a class of biological catalysts that can catalyze a specific substrate. Although natural enzymes have catalytic activity, they are susceptible to the influence of external environment such as temperature, and storage requirements are more stringent. Since the first discovery of magnetic FeO nanoparticles with peroxidase-like activity in 2007, the research on nanoenzymes has entered a rapid development stage.

Chemical weathering processes play a key role in regulating the global climate over geological time scales. Lithium (Li) isotope compositions have proven to be a robust proxy for tracing weathering processes that produce secondary minerals, such as clays and oxides, with a focus often placed on Li adsorption to, or incorporation into, clay minerals. In addition, the interaction between Li and Fe-oxides has long been assumed and discussed based on field observations, but experimental constraints on this process are lacking.
