Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are inviting submissions to the Special Issue on the “Synthesis and Characterization of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles”.

Nanoparticles have experienced increasing interest over the past three decades thanks to the development of new synthesis methods and the adaptation of analysis tools with spatial resolutions below one micrometer. Among the different types of nanoparticles developed in recent years (metals, metal oxides, silica, polymers, etc.), significant scientific interest has developed around iron oxide nanoparticles.

The development of new synthetic methods has made it possible to develop iron oxide nanoparticles of different sizes, morphologies, controlled crystal structures for multiple fields of application such as biomedical, environmental, electronics, etc. The control of physicochemical parameters and magnetic properties requires a fine multitechnical multiscale characterization.

Therefore, in this Special Issue of Applied Sciences, we would like to collect contributions that focus on the topic of iron oxide nanoparticles. Corresponding studies on their synthesis and physicochemical and magnetic characterization are welcome with articles of experimental studies as well as comprehensive review and survey papers.

We look forward to your contributions to this Special Issue.

Dr. Solenne Fleutot

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

The high incidence of fungal resistance to commercial fungicides and the negative effects of chemical fungicides on the environment and human health necessitate the development of novel biofungicides for the efficient management of fungal diseases. This study aims to greenly synthesize iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) using the aqueous extract of Laurus nobilis leaves and characterize these nanoparticles using various physicochemical techniques. The biogenic IONPs were tested against two pathogenic strains of Alternaria alternata and compared to the metalaxyl–mancozeb fungicide. The food poisoning technique was used to assess the antifungal efficacy of the greenly synthesized IONPs and the commercial metalaxyl–mancozeb fungicide against the tested pathogenic A. alternata strains. The biogenic IONPs showed a higher antifungal efficiency against the A. alternata OR236467 and A. alternata OR236468 strains at concentrations of 800 ppm compared to metalaxyl– mancozeb fungicide, with relative growth inhibition percentages of 75.89 and 60.63%, respectively. The commercial metalaxyl–mancozeb fungicide (800 ppm) showed growth inhibition percentages of 72.23 and 58.54% against the same strains. The biogenic IONPs also showed potential antioxidant activities against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radicals, with DPPH inhibition percentages of 34.61% to 83.27%. In conclusion, the biogenic IONPs derived from L. nobilis leaves have the potential to be employed as biofungicides for the effective control of fungal phytopathogens, reducing reliance on harmful chemical fungicides.

Nanoparticles have experienced increasing interest over the past three decades owing to the development of new synthesis methods and the adaptation of analysis tools with spatial resolutions below one micrometer. Among the different types of nanoparticles developed in recent years (metals, metal oxides, silica, polymers, etc.), significant scientific interest has developed around iron oxide nanoparticles. This review will focus on these magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles. We will first discuss the magnetic properties of iron oxide nanoparticles, then the different methods of synthesis and washing. Finally, we will discuss some functionalization strategies of iron oxide nanoparticles which are developed within our research team. Full article
