Encapsulation of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles by the supercritical antisolvent process

The aim of the experiments in this research was to produce a coated superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticle (SPION) product that may be used as a contrasting agent for MRI. There are several methods that can be employed to coat SPIONs. However, many of the current methods employ toxic organic solv...
