Problem
In class, we were given a problem and an associated grade sheet. My portion of the presentation is Part B stated in the problem sheet. Below, I have outlined what I must talk about.
- Iron nanoparticles
- Properties
- Advantages for their use
- Disadvantages for their use
- Coatings
- Nobel metals
- Silica
- Oxides
- Polymers
- Discuss the above coatings and how:
- They prevent degradation from oxygen and H2O.
- The coatings affect the iron nanoparticle properties.
This is a problem based learning exercise that necessitates group activity. The members of my group are dealing with Part A outlined in the problem sheet where they have doled out the various parts of making a quantum dot for a specific biological investigation. Their components include: picking a target (one person), synthesis of the quantum dot (one person), and characterization of the quantum dot (one person). It looks like I got the short end of the stick here...
Introduction
Since I will be dealing with magnetic iron nanoparticles, I need to explain what the terminology means for magnets.
