  • Maghemite nanoparticles and method for preparing thereof
    Patent number: 8980218
    Abstract: The present application relates to a method for preparing stoichiometrically pure maghemite iron superparamagnetic nanoparticles. The method for preparing maghemite (?-Fe2O3) superparamagnetic nanoparticles disclosed in the present application is characterized by a step of reduction and appropriate steps of oxidation of the Fe-based composition obtained by the same. The maghemite nanoparticles obtained show a suitable size as well as binding properties without any surface modification. These nanoparticles can be therefore easily used as reagents for detection of inorganic and/or organic molecules as well as nanocarriers of organic and/or biomolecules.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 20, 2010
    Date of Patent: March 17, 2015
    Assignees: Universita' Degli Studi di Padova
    Inventors: Umberto Russo, Luca Nodari, Fabio Vianello, Massimiliano Magro, Giorgio Valle
