Iron oxide NPs were synthesized by chemical co-precipitation as described by Soares et al. [33 (link)]. Iron chloride tetrahydrate (FeCl2·4H2O, 2.5 mmol, Alfa Aesar, Ward Hill, MA, USA) and iron chloride hexahydrate (FeCl3·6H2O, 5 mmol, Alfa Aesar) were mixed in ultrapure water (Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA) followed by the addition of an ammonium solution (NH4OH at 25%, 10 mL, Panreac, Chicago IL, USA) to precipitate the IONPs in the absence of oxygen, by bubbling N2.
Iron content in iron oxide nanoparticles was determined using the 1,10-phenanthroline colorimetric method [43 (link)] to calculate the amount of dimercaptosuccinic acid (DMSA, Acros Organics, Geel, Belgium, 98%) and oleic acid (OA, Fisher Chemical, Fair Lawn, NJ, USA) to add to the magnetic nanoparticles. The mixture reacted for 3 h in an ultrasound bath. After the reaction, the stabilized NPs were subjected to dialysis in a 4 RC Dialysis Membrane Tubing 12 to 14 kDa MWCO (SpectrumTM Spectra/PorTM) to remove the excess surfactant.

2-Aminoethanol, polycaprolactone (PCL, Mw = 80,000), hydrogen chloride, methanol, and ethanol were obtained from Sigma-Aldrich. Poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA, Mw = 31,000–50,000), pyrene-1-carboxaldehyde, iron chloride hexahydrate, and iron chloride tetrahydrate were obtained from Alfa Aesar. Dichloromethane (DCM), acetonitrile and sodium hydroxide were purchased from J.T Baker, ECHO, and Showa, respectively. PCL was used as the microcapsule matrix material because of its good biodegradability and biocompatibility and because it can be decomposed into CO2 and H2O and then metabolized or absorbed by the organisms. The tap water was collected in our laboratory and was tested without further pretreatment.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
