In biomedical applications, magnetic nanoparticles have been used as they offer attractive possibilities. First, they have controllable sizes ranging from a few nanometers up to tens of nanometers and second, the nanoparticles are magnetic and magnetic fields can penetrate into human tissue which means that they can be manipulated by an external magnetic field gradient. In this study, Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles are synthesized by thermal decomposition method for their potential use in cancer diagnosis. Techniques like TEM, XRD, and FTIR were performed to control the properties of the synthesized particles whether they are suitable for certain applications. In thermal decomposition method, two different iron precursors were employed to obtain magnetite nanoparticles. In the usage of Fe(acac)₃, approximate particle sizes obtained by this method lie between 3-6 nm. When, Fe(CO)₅ was used as the iron precursor, average particles size of 6 nm were obtained. Rhenium carbonyl complex was prepared by reductive carboxylation utilizing gaseous carbon monoxide as a source of carbonyl and amino borane, BH₃NH₃ as the reducing agent. HPLC-ICP-MS was used for measuring complex formation. 95% conversion of perrhenate into the complex was seen. In this part, rhenium is selected as a surrogate of radioactive ⁹⁹mTc. ¹⁸⁸Re and ¹⁸⁶Re can also be used in radioactive therapy.

Influence of ultrasonically assisted synthesis on particle size of magnetic nanoparticles KÜÇÜK, Burcu; Özkan, Necati; Volkan, Mürvet (2013-10-01) Poly(methacrylic acid)(PMAA) coated magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized via co-precipitation in aqueous solution with the use of conventional magnetic stirring and ultrasonic agitation. It has been shown that the ultrasonic agitation during the synthesis of magnetite particles decreased the size of PMAA-coated magnetic agglomerates significantly. The primary particle size of iron oxide particles was determined as approximately 10 nm by X-ray diffraction method (Scherer's equation). The volume w...
Synthesis and Characterization of Polyhydroxybutyrate Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles: Toxicity Analyses on Different Cell Lines Yalcin, Serap; Khodadust, Rouhollah; Unsoy, Gozde; Garip, Immihan Ceren; Mumcuoglu, Zahide Didem; Gündüz, Ufuk (2015-01-01) In this study, polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) coated magnetic nanoparticles were prepared which are targetable to tumor cells in the presence of a magnetic field. The structural properties, functional groups, size distribution, and magnetic properties of the synthesized PHB coated magnetic nanoparticles were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, transmission electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, vibrating sample magnetometry, and thermogravimetric analysis. PHB coa...
Design and implementation of magnetic field sensors for biomedical applications / İnan, Ulaş Can; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) In this work, firstly the magnetic sensor types and their feasibility for biomedical applications are investigated. Then the air-cored induction coil sensor is chosen due to its advantages. Afterwards the usage of induction coils combined with amplifiers and connection types are studied. The biomedical applications requiring the use of magnetic field sensors are introduced. One of them, Lorentz Field Electrical Impedance Tomography (LFEIT) is explained in detail and experimental work is done for this applic...
Synthesis and functionalization of graphene oxide nanocomposites for anticancer drug delivery Kamal Mohammed Ahmed Hassan, Heba; Evis, Zafer; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2022-6-27) Graphene, graphene quantum dots (GQDs) their derivatives and gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), all have a wide range of applications in biomedical applications, particularly anticancer drug delivery, due to their large surface area, chemical and mechanical stability, and good biocompatibility. The first goal of this research is to improve the chemistry and solubility of rGO by doping it with boron and decorating it with AuNPs (Au-B-rGO), as well as to improve the loading efficiency of the anticancer drug doxorubi...
Synthesis of uniformly distributed single- and double-sided zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocombs Yıldırım, Özlem Altıntaş; Liu, Yuzi; Petford-Long, Amanda K. (Elsevier BV, 2015-11-15) Uniformly distributed single- and double-sided zinc oxide (ZnO) nanocomb structures have been prepared by a vapor-liquid-solid technique from a mixture of ZnO nanoparticles and graphene nanoplatelets. The ZnO seed nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple precipitation method. The structure of the ZnO nanocombs could easily be controlled by tuning the carrier-gas flow rate during growth. Higher flow rate resulted in the formation of uniformly-distributed single-sided comb structures with nanonail-shaped t...
