Abstract
Iron nanoparticles are of interest for possible applications such as remediation of soil and water, and for their magnetic properties. In the present work, a simple method for producing iron nanoparticles on a colloidal substrate is presented. These composites have potential applications related to their surface and magnetic properties.
