Insights into the Effect of Magnetic Confinement on the Performance of Magnetic Nanocomposites in Magnetic Hyperthermia and Magnetic Resonance Imaging.

ABSTRACT: The combination of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) and lipid matrices enables the integration of imaging, drug delivery, and therapy functionalities into smart theranostic nanocomposites. SPION confinement creates new interactions primarily among the embedded SPIONs and then between the nanocomposites and the surroundings. Understanding the parameters that rule these interactions in real interacting (nano)systems still represents a challenge, making it difficult to predict or even explain the final (magnetic) behavior of such systems. Herein, a systematic study focused on the performance of a magnetic nanocomposite as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent and magnetic hyperthermia (MH) effector is presented. The effect of stabilizing agents and magnetic load
