Part of the book series: Nanomedicine and Nanotoxicology ((NANOMED))

Abstract

Iron oxide nanoparticles specially ferrites have gained a lot of attention in recent years due to their applications in diverse field and particularly in biomedical field where their enhanced magnetic properties offer diversity in imaging, diagnosis, and treatment. There are numerous types of ferrites that have been synthesized and presented for different applications but ferrite based on Co, Ni, and Zn has shown potential for biomedical applications due to high magnetic anisotropy and biocompatability. Ferrites nanoparticles can be prepared by different protocols such as co-precipitation, and sol-gel, hydrothermal. These methods are very efficient and produce high yield of ferrite powder. In this chapter, we have summarized the basic introduction of ferrites, types of ferrites, their crystal structures, and applications in the biomedical field.
