Abstract:
Ultrafine iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared in aqueous solution using chemical coprecipitation method. Adsorption of bovine serum albumin (BSA) on magnetic particles was studied in the presence of silane coupling KH550. Characterizations of magnetic particles were carried out by X-ray diffraction, Transmission electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and vibrating-sample magnetometer. The experimental results showed that magnetic nanoparticles were well dispersed with a small decrease of the magnetic saturation after modification. Magnetic nanoparticles wrapped in KH550 were favorable to the adsorption of BSA while the capability of hydrophile increased consequently, which could be used for target carrier in biomedicine.
