What are the Properties of Magnetic Nanoparticles?
The properties of magnetic nanoparticles are largely defined by their size, composition, and surface chemistry. Key properties include superparamagnetism, high surface area-to-volume ratio, and the ability to be functionalized with various chemical groups. Superparamagnetism ensures that MNPs do not retain magnetization in the absence of an external magnetic field, which is critical for applications in biomedicine.
