Synthesis of ferrofluids with collagen as a template-Biomolecular matrix mediated synthesis of ferrofluids

Abstract

The observed magnetization of the Ferro fluid sample s is found to be much lower than expected from sample. The only contributing factor to this reduction is the use of polymer matrices which interact with and entrap the iron oxide nanoparticles within the interstitial voids created in their three dimensional conformations . We use collagen as a template here, so that the particle size can be controlled and maintained here without interfering with the magnetic sensitivity of the fluid. -To control the formation and size of ferrofluid Particles with the help of collagen as surfactant -In order to ensure higher magnetic sensitivity -For magnetic resonance imaging applications
