Magnetic nanoparticles like ferrites possess self-heating properties and can be used in biomedical applications like magnetic hyperthermia, drug delivery, etc. What are the other applications in which this property can be utilized except biomedical applications?
Hi,
there are two rather old papers dealing with immobilized enzymes and magnetic heating.... have a look on them
Kato, N., Oishi, A., Takahashi, F., 1998. Enzyme reaction controlled by magnetic heating due to the hysteresis loss of gamma-Fe2O3 in thermosensitive polymer gels immobilized beta-galactosidase. Materials Science & Engineering C-Biomimetic Materials Sensors and Systems 6, 291-296.
Takahashi, F., Sakai, Y., Mizutani, Y., 1997. Immobilized enzyme reaction controlled by magnetic heating: gamma-Fe2O3-loaded thermosensitive polymer gels consisting of N-isopropylacrylamide and acrylamide. Journal of Fermentation and Bioengineering 83, 152-156.
Dear Gongotree Phukan ,
Magnetic hyperthermia can be used to induce some catalytic processes. See for instance this work:
Article Hierarchical Ru-bearing Alumina/Magnetic Iron-Oxide Composit...
Nano-Magnetic Hyperthermia (NMH),Nano-Radio-Frequency Ablation(NaRFA), are recent breakthroughs in nanotechnology for hyperthermia cancer therapy.
Self heating property of Magnetic nanoparticles can be used for hyperthermia application by governing the chemotherapy drug, and can also be used for radiation therapy. Magnetic particle heating can be accomplished at depths necessary for tumor treatment.
