The Influence of Catechols on the Magnetization of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles
Nanomaterials, 2023 In this study, MNPs were functionalized with pyrocatechol (CAT), pyrogallol (GAL), caffeic acid (CAF), and nitrodopamine (NDA) at pH 8 and pH 11. The functionalization of the MNPs was successful, except in the case of NDA at pH 11.
