ABSTRACT

Abstract This detailed review presents an overview of current research on the synthesis, surface modification, and applications of Iron oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles and iron oxide/gold (Fe3O4/Au) nanocomposites. The different synthesis techniques of Fe3O4 with various basic organic and inorganic modifications are presented. The applicability and role of inorganic and organic coating on iron oxide/gold core/shell schemes were explored. The trade-off between choices for surface functionalization related to specific applications such as imaging contrast agent, drug delivery carrier and therapeutic device using iron oxide/gold core/shell was also elaborated. The versatility of combining iron oxide/ and gold as nanocomposite as the choice for biomedical application is demonstrated in MRI, CT scan, drug delivery, biosensors, and hyperthermia application.
