Description
Summary:We report a simple and low cost methodology to synthesize sodium oleate coated magnetite nanoparticles for hyperthermia applications. The system consists of oleate coated magnetite nanoparticles with large susceptibility (1065emu/gT), induced by the dipolar inter-particle interaction, with a magnetic core diameter in the 6nm–12nm size range. In aqueous medium, the nanoparticles agglomerate to form a monodisperse system, exhibiting a mean hydrodynamic diameter of 60.6nm±4.1nm, with a low average polydispersity index of 0.128±0.003, as required for intravenous applications. The system exhibits promising efficiency for magnetic hyperthermia, with a specific absorption rate of 14 W/g at a low field amplitude of 15.9kA/m and frequency of 62kHz. In a 50mg/mL density in 1mL, the temperature rises to 42.5°C in 1.9min. •Facile method to synthesize high susceptibility superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles.•Synthesis of monodisperse oleate coated magnetite nanoparticles.•Rapid temperature increase after exposure to low intensity alternating magnetic field.•Promising magnetic system to be employed in magnetic hyperthermia.
