Abstract
ABSTRACT Ferrite materials have found applications in various fields, particularly in biomedical fields. This work involves the preparation of Magnesium ferrite nanoparticles (MgFNPs) by biosynthesis protocol using polyethylene glycol (PEG-4000) and gongronema latifolium (GL) extracts as capping and reducing agents, to heighten the properties of MgFNPs for effective hyperthermia applications. Various characterization techniques were used to determine the properties of the formulated samples. Spherical morphology with low agglomeration was observed by the SEM analysis. The XRD showed a crystallite size between 10 and 49 nm. The VSM confirmed the superparamagnetic nature of the samples. The heating ability was observed to decrease to the therapeutic rage with GL and PEG. However, further investigations for the hyperthermia application were performed on the formulated samples by estimating their Specific loss power (SLP). The samples showed high SLP between 130.6 and 290.8 W/g. The materials capped with PEG has better properties for hyperthermia applications.
