Abstract
This paper reports a novel synthetic process to obtain poly(ethylene glycol)โcoated magnetite nanoparticles. Magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by a chemical coโprecipitation of Fe^2+^ and Fe^3+^ ions under alkaline conditions, which were then coated with poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate via UVโcuring in water. The nanoparticles were characterized by means of DLS, FTโIR spectroscopy, TGA, TEM, and XPS. The magnetic properties of the magnetic nanoparticles at room temperature were also characterized by the measurement of hysteresis curves using a vibratingโsample magnetometer. magnified image
