Abstract
Biocomfortable polyethylenimine (PEI) coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) have been successfully fabricated for their magnetic hyperthermia performance. After coating with PEI, the sample reveals a tiptop performance of magnetic property and an enhanced biocompatibility. Compared with Fe3O4 NPs, PEI-coated Fe3O4 NPs do not induce notable cell cytotoxic effect at their higher concentration, which indicates that PEI-coated Fe3O4 NPs has improved biocompatibility. The results show that PEI-coated Fe3O4 NPs not only possess effective magnetic property for cancer hyperthermia treatment or gene delivery, but also demonstrates an improved biocompatibility for various biomedical applications.
