Abstract
Organocatalysis by 4-N,N-dimethylaminopyridine was employed for ring opening polymerization of lactide initiated at magnetic nanoparticles covered by glycerol phosphate or ascorbic acid phosphate. The resulting magnetite–polylactic acid nanoparticles exhibit high colloidal stability in water and alcohol. Their morphology was investigated by transmission electron microscopy and the chemical structure was elucidated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The increase in mass after coating the nanoparticles was determined by thermogravimetric analysis, while dynamic light scattering revealed the increase in hydrodynamic size. Magnetic measurements revealed superparamagnetic behavior and high magnetization values. The magnetite–polylactic acid nanoparticles were further used for magnetic tagging of biotin.
