Figure 1From: Intrinsically superparamagnetic Fe-hydroxyapatite nanoparticles positively influence osteoblast-like cell behaviourFeHA nanoparticles characterization. A) XRD analyses profiles obtained from FeHA and HA nanopowders synthesized at the same temperature and conditions. FeHA spectra underline a lower crystallinity and a little amount of magnetite (*) (~ 2 vol.%) as secondary phase. B,C) TEM micrographs showing FeHA MNPs with needle-like morphology and the absence of Fe agglomerates inside the particles. D) Magnetization curve obtained from the analysis of FeHA MNPs, which displays a typical superparamagnetic behaviour.Back to article page
