Synthesis of iron oxide coated fluoridated HAp/Ln³⁺ (Ln = Eu or Tb) nanocomposites for biological applications

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Nov 21;50(90):14010-2. doi: 10.1039/c4cc06977c.

Abstract

Fluorescent-magnetic iron oxide coated fluoridated HAp/Ln(3+) (Ln = Eu or Tb) nanocomposites were prepared. After transforming hydrophobic fluoridated HAp/Ln(3+) nanorods into hydrophilic ones, iron oxide particles were coated on their surface via thermal decomposition of Fe(acac)3. Fluorescent-magnetic nanocomposites developed in this study demonstrate excellent fluorescent-magnetic properties and prominent biocompatibility.
