Shape effects of iron nanowires on hyperthermia treatment

This research discusses the influence ofmorphology of nanomagneticmaterials (one-dimensional iron nanowires and zero-dimensional iron nanoparticles) on heating efficiency of the hyperthermia treatment. One-dimensional iron nanowires, synthesized by reducing method in external magnetic field, are explored in terms of their material properties, magnetic anisotropy, and cytotoxicity of EMT-6 cells. The magnetic anisotropy of an array of nanowires is examined in parallel and perpendicular magnetic fields by VSM. For the magnetic hyperthermia treatment tests, iron nanowires and nanoparticles with different concentrations are heated in alternating magnetic field to measure their actual heating efficiency and SLP heating properties. The shape effects of iron nanomaterials can be revealed from their heating properties. The cytotoxicity of nanowires with different concentrations is measured by its survival rate in EMT-6 with the cells cultivated for 6 and 24 hours.

Electromagnetic characteristics of surface modified iron nanowires at x-band frequencies

Surface modified iron nanowire nanoparticles were prepared via reduction of iron salts (FeCl3· 6H2O) under an applied magnetic field. To minimize the surface oxidation, dextran (0.05 and 0.25 wt. %) was added during the process and formed a thin passive layer over iron nanowires with alcohol and acetone used to wash iron nanowires. The complex permittivity (ɛ′-jɛ′′) and permeability (μ′-jμ″) of absorbers are measured by a cavity perturbation method from 7 to 14 GHz. In the present study, the iron nanowire prepared with 0.25 wt. % dextran and washed by acetone (D25AC) exhibited the best microwave absorption performance. Depending on the test frequency, D25AC possessed the largest permittivity loss ranged from 0.14 to 0.17 and relatively small permeability loss (<0.05). Its high permittivity dissipation is responsible for the excellent microwave absorption performance where the reflection loss was-7.7 dB at a matching frequency of 9.0 GHz.

The influence of thermal annealing on structure and oxidation of iron nanowires

Abstract Raman spectroscopy as well as Mössbauer spectroscopy were applied in order to study the phase composition of iron nanowires and its changes, caused by annealing in a neutral atmosphere at several temperatures ranging from 200°C to 800°C. As-prepared nanowires were manufactured via a simple chemical reduction in an external magnetic field. Both experimental techniques proved formation of the surface layer covered by crystalline iron oxides, with phase composition dependent on the annealing temperature (Ta). At higher Ta, hematite was the dominant phase in the nanowires.

P-75: Modification of R.G.B. Photo Resists for Color Filters

In this study, two kinds of modified photo resists are prepared and used to compare with pure photo resist in emitting properties of light. The modified photo resists are the mixture of pure one and certain additives. Different additives, nano glass balls and transparent agents, are added respectively into photo resists of color filters for improving the purities of emitting light. The results indicate the suitable amount of nano glass balls or transparent agents can improve the purities of emitting light and maintain the intensities of light emission.
