Abstract: | An increasing awareness about novel medical applications of smaller, inorganic-based nanoparticles, possessing unique properties at the nanoscale, has led to a burst of research activities in the development of “nanoprobes” for diagnostic medicine and agents for novel, externally activated therapies. In this research field magnetic nanoparticles are prominent due to fundamental peculiar properties particularly appealing for their use in materials and biomedical applications. Aiming to study the relationship between the topology of the magnetic nanoparticles and their efficacy as MRI contrast agents (relaxometric properties), we prepared three different stable colloidal suspension (ferrofluid) of magnetic nanobeads (MNBs) constituted by a discrete number of maghemite nanoparticles, arranged in disordered clusters or ordered in a polymeric matrix. An accurate morpho-dimensional and magnetic characterization displays the close correlation between the magnetic fundamental properties and the topology of our spin systems. The NMR relaxometry profiles confirmed the nature of the physical mechanisms inducing the increase of nuclear relaxation rates at low (magnetic anisotropy) and high (Curie relaxation) magnetic fields. Moreover the transverse relaxivity (r 2) values for all the MNBs are higher than those of common contrast agents and the differences between the three MNBs are suggested to be due to the spin topology effect. |
