    Preparation of selenium-based drug-modified polymeric ligand-functionalised Fe3O4 nanoparticles as multimodal drug carrier and magnetic hyperthermia inductor
    (MDPI, 2023) Galarreta Rodríguez, Itziar; Etxebeste-Mitxeltorena, Mikel; Moreno, Esther; Plano, Daniel; Sanmartín, Carmen; Megahed, Saad; Feliu, Neus; Parak, Wolfgang J.; Garayo Urabayen, Eneko; Gil de Muro, Izaskun; Lezama, Luis; Ruiz de Larramendi, Idoia; Insausti, Maite; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2
    In recent years, much effort has been invested into developing multifunctional drug delivery systems to overcome the drawbacks of conventional carriers. Magnetic nanoparticles are not generally used as carriers but can be functionalised with several different biomolecules and their size can be tailored to present a hyperthermia response, allowing for the design of multifunctional systems which can be active in therapies. In this work, we have designed a drug carrier nanosystem based on Fe3O4 nanoparticles with large heating power and 4-amino-2-pentylselenoquinazoline as an attached drug that exhibits oxidative properties and high selectivity against a variety of cancer malignant cells. For this propose, two samples composed of homogeneous Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) with different sizes, shapes, and magnetic properties have been synthesised and characterised. The surface modification of the prepared Fe3O4 nanoparticles has been developed using copolymers composed of poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride), dodecylamine, polyethylene glycol and the drug 4-amino-2-pentylselenoquinazoline. The obtained nanosystems were properly characterised. Their in vitro efficacy in colon cancer cells and as magnetic hyperthermia inductors was analysed, thereby leaving the door open for their potential application as multimodal agents.

    Magnetically activated 3D printable polylactic acid/polycaprolactone/magnetite composites for magnetic induction heating generation
    (Springer, 2023) Galarreta Rodríguez, Itziar; López Ortega, Alberto; Garayo Urabayen, Eneko; Beato López, Juan Jesús; La Roca, Paulo Matías; Sánchez-Alarcos Gómez, Vicente; Recarte Callado, Vicente; Gómez Polo, Cristina; Pérez de Landazábal Berganzo, José Ignacio; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    Additive manufacturing technology has attracted the attention of industrial and technological sectors due to the versatility of the design and the easy manufacture of structural and functional elements based on composite materials. The embedding of magnetic nanoparticles in the polymeric matrix enables the development of an easy manufacturing process of low-cost magnetically active novel polymeric composites. In this work, we report a series of magnetic composites prepared by solution casting method combining 5 to 60 wt.% of 140 ± 50 nm commercial Fe3O4 nanoparticles, with a semi-crystalline, biocompatible, and biodegradable polymeric blend made of polylactic acid (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL). The composites were extruded, obtaining 1.5 ± 0.2 mm diameter continuous and flexible filaments for fused deposition modelling 3D printing. The chemical, magnetic, and calorimetric properties of the obtained filaments were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, magnetometry, and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, taking advantage of the magnetic character of the filaments, their capability to generate heat under the application of low-frequency alternating magnetic fields (magnetic induction heating) was analyzed. The obtained results expose the versatility of these easy manufacturing and low-cost filaments, where selecting a desired composition, the heating capacity can be properly adjusted for those applications where magnetic induction plays a key role (i.e., magnetic hyperthermia, drug release, heterogeneous catalysis, water electrolysis, gas capture, or materials synthesis).

    Iron oxide nanorings and nanotubes for magnetic hyperthermia: the problem of intraparticle interactions
    (MDPI, 2021) Das, Raja; Alonso Masa, Javier; Kalappattil, Vijaysankar; Nemati, Zohreh; Rodrigo, Irati; Garayo Urabayen, Eneko; García, José Ángel; Manh-Huong, Phan; Srikanth, Hariharan; Ciencias; Zientziak
    Magnetic interactions can play an important role in the heating efficiency of magnetic nanoparticles. Although most of the time interparticle magnetic interactions are a dominant source, in specific cases such as multigranular nanostructures intraparticle interactions are also relevant and their effect is significant. In this work, we have prepared two different multigranular magnetic nanostructures of iron oxide, nanorings (NRs) and nanotubes (NTs), with a similar thickness but different lengths (55 nm for NRs and 470 nm for NTs). In this way, we find that the NTs present stronger intraparticle interactions than the NRs. Magnetometry and transverse susceptibility measurements show that the NTs possess a higher effective anisotropy and saturation magnetization. Despite this, the AC hysteresis loops obtained for the NRs (0-400 Oe, 300 kHz) are more squared, therefore giving rise to a higher heating efficiency (maximum specific absorption rate, SAR(max) = 110 W/g for the NRs and 80 W/g for the NTs at 400 Oe and 300 kHz). These results indicate that the weaker intraparticle interactions in the case of the NRs are in favor of magnetic hyperthermia in comparison with the NTs.

    Fe-C nanoparticles obtained from thermal decomposition employing sugars as reducing agents
    (Elsevier, 2020) Cervera Gabalda, Laura María; Pérez de Landazábal Berganzo, José Ignacio; Garayo Urabayen, Eneko; Monteserín, María; Larumbe Abuin, Silvia; Martín, F.; Gómez Polo, Cristina; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Ciencias; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    The aim of the work is to present a comparative analysis (structural and magnetic) of Fe-C nanocomposites obtained by the thermal decomposition of sugars (fructose, glucose and sucrose) employing FeCl3 as Fe3+ precursor. The thermal decomposition was followed through Thermogravimetry (TGA) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The results indicate the reduction of Fe3+ under the performed thermal treatments and the achievement at high annealing temperatures of Fe-C nanostructures (coexistence of α-Fe and Fe3C nanoparticles surrounded by a carbon matrix). The magnetic characterization performed by dc SQUID magnetometry, shows an antiferromagnetic response in the initial stages of the decomposition process, and a ferromagnetic behavior linked to the Fe-based nanoparticles. The magnetic induction heating was analyzed through the ac hysteresis loops. Moderate Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is obtained in Fe-C nanoparticles (~ 70 W/gFe), ascribed to the large nanoparticle size. The combination of porous carbon structure and ferromagnetic response of the Fe-C nanoparticles (i.e. local temperature increase under ac magnetic field) enlarge the emerging applications of these carbonaceous nanocomposites.
