Cubic Nanoparticles for Magnetic Hyperthermia: Process Optimization and Potential Industrial Implementation

Nanomaterials (Basel). 2021 Jun 23;11(7):1652. doi: 10.3390/nano11071652.

Abstract

Cubic nanoparticles are referred to as the best shaped particles for magnetic hyperthermia applications. In this work, the best set of values for obtaining optimized shape and size of magnetic particles (namely: reagents quantities and proportions, type of solvents, temperature, etc.) is determined. A full industrial implementation study is also performed, including production system design and technical and economic viability.

Keywords: cubic particles; economic analysis; magnetic hyperthermia; magnetic nanoparticles; optimization; plant design and process engineering.
