Magnetic Nanomaterials and Their Biomedical Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Nanostructured Materials and their Applications

Part of the book series: Materials Horizons: From Nature to Nanomaterials ((MHFNN))

Abstract

With the arrival of nano-magnetism, a new dimension of advancement possibilities in the field of electrical engineering, electronics, optics, information technology, biomedical applications, etc. has been dawned upon us. In this chapter, we will start briefly discussing Magnetic materials, Nano-magnetism and the main features dominating magnetic properties of nanoparticles (MNPs) As magnetic properties of MNPs determine their fields of application, our concern in this chapter is also to introduce factors that need to be tuned for biomedical application. Later in application section, basic working principle, interaction between magnetic nanomaterial and static or alternating magnetic field, physical and chemical properties of MNPs preferred for particular application, and scope of improvisation have been briefed. Biomedical applications discussed here includes Targeted Drug delivery, Magnetic Bio-separation, Magnetic hyperthermia, MRI contrast enhancement, and Theragnosis.
