Nanodispersions of magnetic poly(vinyl pivalate) for biomedical applications: Synthesis and in vitro evaluation of its cytotoxicity in cancer cells

The development of polymeric nanomaterials, combining properties of polymers and superparamagnetic nanoparticles, has potential for biomedical applications, such as treatment of tumors through intravascular embolization and hyperthermia. Therefore, this work aims at development of a new magnetopolymeric fluid formed by magnetic nanoparticles of iron oxide (Fe3O4) coated with chemically modified oleic acid and which were uniformly dispersed in...
