Book cover Handbook of Nanomaterials Properties

Abstract

In this chapter we present the design fundamentals on the development of magnetic nanoparticle systems to become suitable for biomedical applications, from the most used strategies for chemical synthesis and surface functionalization to their main researched applications in the biomedical field nowadays. Special attention has been paid on magnetic resonance imaging and magnetically induced hyperthermia. A revision and recent advances on these fields will be shown.
