Synthesis and Properties of MPEG-Coated Superparamagnetic Magnetite Nanoparticles

The magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by the thermal decomposition of iron(III) acetylacetonate in methoxy polyethylene glycol, which was used as solvent, reducing agent, and modifying agent in the reaction. The morphologies and phase compositions of the nanoparticles were determined by trans...
