Carboxylated PEG-Functionalized MnFe₂O₄ Nanocubes Synthesized in a Mixed Solvent: Morphology, Magnetic Properties, and Biomedical Applications.

ABSTRACT: Ferrites are one of the most studied materials around the globe due to their distinctive biological and magnetic properties. In the same line, anisotropic MnFe₂O₄ nanoparticles have been explored as a potential candidate possessing excellent magnetic properties, biocompatibility, and strong magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) properties such as r2 relaxivity for magnetic field-guided biomedical applications. The current work reports the synthesis and morphological evolution of MnFe₂O₄ nanocubes (MNCs) in a hydrothermal process using different volume ratios of water and ethanol. The synthesis protocol was designed to influence the properties of the ferrite nanocubes, for example, the variation in surface tension, dielectric properties, and the
