![عکس صفحه اول مقاله: Direct synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles from iron(II) carboxymethylcellulose and their performance as NMR contrast agents Direct synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles from iron(II) carboxymethylcellulose and their performance as NMR contrast agents](/preview/png/1798743.png)
• Stable, hydrophylic magnetic nanoparticles have been obtained.
• Direct use of iron(II) carboxymethylcellulose improves the synthesis.
• The magnetic nanoparticles exhibit high spin–spin relaxivity.
• The particles promote dark contrast by decreasing the T2 relaxation time.
Iron(II) carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) has been successfully employed in the synthesis of hydrophylic magnetite nanoparticles stabilized with a biopolymer coating, aiming applications in NMR imaging. The new method encompasses a convenient one-step synthetic procedure, allowing a good size control and yielding particles of about 10 nm (core size). In addition to the biocompatibility, the nanoparticles have promoted a drastic reduction in the transverse relaxation time (T2) of the water protons. The relaxivity rates have been investigated as a function of the nanoparticles concentration, showing a better performance in relation to the common NMR contrast agents available in the market.
