Abstract
Nanoferrites with compositions Mn0.4Zn0.6Fe2O4, Co0.4Zn0.6Fe2O4, Ni0.4Zn0.6Fe2O4 (MZF, CZF and NZF respectively) coated with polyethylene glycol (PEG) were prepared in a single step. These nanoparticles are highly water dispersible with zeta potential values between 14 and 21mV. Magnetic induction heating characteristics of these NPs have been studied as a function of magnetic field amplitude from 6.7 to 26.7kAm−1 (at fixed frequency 265kHz) and concentration of nanoparticles. Notable enhancement in specific absorption rate (334.5Wg−1) by CZF nanoparticles has been observed. This enhanced induction heating properties have been studied and correlated with colloidal stability and magnetostructural properties such as tuned magnetic anisotropy arising from zinc substitution. Cytotoxicity of synthesized mixed ferrites has been evaluated in vitro on HeLa cell lines using MTT assay to explore their use as heating agents in magnetic hyperthermia.
