A Facile Synthesis of Fe3O4@SiO2@ZnO for Curcumin Delivery

Abstract

This paper proposed an engineered silica-coated Fe3O4 with ZnO nanoparticle, prepared by a coprecipitation/Stöber method as a curcumin delivery system. To this end, the structural characterization of the nanocomposite was performed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ray diffraction (XRD), VSM, and TEM. The findings show that the synthesized nanocomposite has a semispherical structure with an average particle size of 50-70 nm and excellent magnetization properties (21.4 emu/g).
