Abstract

Magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are an attractive subclass of nanoparticles with unique properties. They can be easily separated from the aqueous solutions using an external magnet. They can be synthesized via several methods, including coprecipitation, hydrothermal, thermal decomposition, ultrasonic, and microwave-based methods. The surface of MNPs can be easily modified with several biomolecules such as protein, antibody, antigen, biopolymers, and small drugs. They can also be loaded to different supports, such as porous materials, two-dimensional nanomaterials, and biopolymers. They exhibited exclusive chemical and physical properties, making them attractive for several applications. MNPs-based materials advanced biomedical applications such as separation of biomolecules, hyperthermia, drug delivery, tissue engineering, and theranostic. This chapter introduces MNPs, synthesis, characterization, and biomedical applications.
