Surface functionalization of core magnetic nanoparticles. A Representative coating types used in iron-oxide core MNP functionalization (IONPs). Grey circles represent the core of IONPs. (Reproduced with permission from Arias et al. [35]). B Schematic for PEG-based MNP surface functionalization. Iron (Ferric hydroxide) based core was first surface coated with oleic acid (OA) and then functionalized with poly ethylene glycol (PEG) containing the N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS) functional group for increased stability and drug binding.
