Abstract

Recent developments in the design, synthesis, and processing of magnetic nanomaterials have gained immense attention for various biomedical applications. Magnetic nanomaterial-mediated therapy and diagnostic applications have opened up new avenues for cancer therapy in terms of non-toxicity, biocompatibility, chemical stability, size, shape, and composition. This chapter covers a detailed account of the synthesis methods (chemical and biological) and the surface functionalization process determining the physico-chemical properties of the nanomaterials favorable for biomedical applications. Finally, a detailed overview of distinctive applications of magnetic-based nanomaterials in the field of magnetic hyperthermia, photothermal therapy, drug delivery, bioimaging and biosensing has been provided.KeywordsSynthesisMagnetic nanomaterialsBiomedical applicationsMagnetic hyperthermiaDrug deliveryBioimagingBiosensing
