Abstract

Materials and Methods The chemicals of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, FeCl3.6H2O, FeCl2.4H2O, NaCl, and NaOH (Sigma-Aldrich chemicals, USA) were utilized in this study. A statistical analysis was performed on the results with a prevalence of p < 0.05. Results A novel ND/Fe3O4 nanocomposite material was successfully synthesized by the in-situ method and characterized by various characterization techniques. The analysis of X-ray diffraction indicated the formation of an ND/Fe3O4 nanocomposite with both participating phases. The saturation magnification of the ND/Fe3O4 nanocomposite is 13.2 emu/g, whereas for a pure Fe3O4 nanomaterial, it is 47 emu/g. The weight rates of ND and Fe3O4 existent in the nanocomposite are 28% and 72%, respectively. From the electrical conductivity analysis, ND/Fe3O4 exhibits conductivity in the order of 27 times more compared to ND. Conclusion The result implies that the product ND/Fe3O4 has both magnetic and electrical properties. The biocompatibility of the synthesized ND/Fe3O4 material was studied based on the in-vitro method.
