Water dispersible CoFe2O4 nanoparticles with improved colloidal stability for biomedical applications [PDF]
Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials, Volume 404, 15 April
2016, Pages 166-169, ISSN 0304-8853,
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jmmm.2015.12.017, 2016 Single phase cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4, CFO) nanoparticles of a controlled size (~ 6 nm) exhibiting superparamagnetic properties have been synthesized by hydrothermal technique using oleic acid (OA) as surfactant. The oleic acid coated CFO nanoparticles are stable in non-polar organic media, such as hexane but are not well dispersible in water.
