The magnetic separation approach has several advantages compared with conventional separation methods; it can be performed directly in crude samples containing suspended solid materials without pretreatment, and can easily isolate some biomolecules from aqueous systems in the presence of magnetic gradient fields. This thesis focused on the development of new class of magnetic separation material particularly useful for the separation of histidine-tagged proteins from the complex matrixes through the use of imidazole side chains of histidine molecules. For that reason surface modified cobalt ferrite nanoparticles which contain Ni-NTA affinity group were synthesized. Firstly, cobalt ferrite nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution were prepared in aqueous solution using the controlled coprecipitation method. In order to obtain small size of agglomerates two different dispersants, oleic acid and sodium chloride, were tried. After obtaining the best dispersant and optimum experimental conditions, ultrasonic bath was used in order to decrease the size of agglomerates. Then, they were coated with silica and this was followed by surface modification of these nanoparticles by amine in order to add functional groups on silica shell. Next, –COOH functional groups were added to silica coated cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles through the NH2 groups. After that Nα,Nα-Bis(carboxymethyl)-L-lysine hydrate, NTA, was attached to carboxyl side of the structure. Finally, nanoparticles were labeled with Ni (II) ions. The size of the magnetic nanoparticles and their agglomerates were determined by FE-SEM images, particle size analyzer, and zeta potential analyzer (zeta-sizer). Vibrational sample magnetometer (VSM) was used to measure the magnetic behavior of cobalt ferrite and silica coated cobalt ferrite magnetic nanoparticles. Surface modifications of magnetic nanoparticles were followed by FT-IR measurements. ICP-OES was used to find the amount of Ni (II) ion concentration that was attached to the magnetic nanoparticle.

Preperation and characterization of silica coated magnetite nanoparticles and labeling with nonradioactive Re as a surrogate of Tc-99m for magneticly targeted imaging Zengin, Ümit; Volkan, Mürvet; Department of Chemistry (2010) Magnetic nanoparticles have been used in many areas owing to their variable characteristic behaviors. Among these iron oxide nanoparticles are one of the mostly preferred type of nanoparticles. In this study Fe3O4, namely magnetite, which is one type of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles was used. Magnetite nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution were prepared in aqueous solution using the controlled coprecipitation method. They were characterized by electron microscopic methods (SEM and TEM), crystal ...
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...
Preparation and characterization of nano-sized Pt-Ru/C catalysts and their superior catalytic activities for methanol and ethanol oxidation Sen, Selda; Sen, Fatih; Gökağaç Arslan, Gülsün (2011-01-01) Carbon-supported PtRu nanoparticles (Ru/Pt: 0.25) were prepared by three different methods; simultaneous reduction of PtCl(4) and RuCl(3) (catalyst I) and changing the reduction order of PtCl4 and RuCl3 (catalysts II and III) to enhance the performance of the anodic catalysts for methanol and ethanol oxidation. Structure, microstructure and surface characterizations of all the catalysts were carried out by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) coupled with energy dispersive X-ray s...
Synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles by aqueous methods and effect of metal incorporation on the structural/functional properties of nanoparticles Altıntaş Yıldırım, Özlem; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2014) Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures have attracted considerable attention in many electrical, optoelectronic and magnetic applications due to their unique properties originating form characteristic wide band gap and large exciton binding energy of ZnO. Electrical, optical and magnetic properties of ZnO nanostructures strongly depend on their size and morphology. Therefore, there has been a strong interest in the synthesis of ZnO nanostructures with well-controlled size and shape. These synthesis approaches shou...
Large structure-dependent room temperature exchange bias in self-assembled BiFeO3 nanoparticles Goswami, Sudipta; Sahoo, Aditi; Bhattacharya, Dipten; Karci, Ozgur; Mohanty, P. K. (2020-08-01) We studied the magnetic properties of self-assembled aggregates of BiFeO3 nanoparticles (similar to 20 nm-40 nm). The aggregates formed two different structures-one with limited and another with massive crosslinking-via the "drying-mediated self-assembly" process following dispersion of the nanoparticles within different organic solvents. They exhibit large coercivity H-C (>1000 Oe) and exchange bias field H-E (similar to 350-900 Oe) in comparison to what is observed in isolated nanoparticles (H-C similar t...
