Abstract
More and more biomedical applications used nanoparticles to improve their quality and their possibilities. The aim of this study is to obtain highly water-soluble iron oxide nanoparticles using a microwave process. After the synthesis, several characterizations are carried out to determine the shape, the size, the chemical composition, the stability and the magnetic properties. The internalization of nanoparticles and the cytotocixity are studied before measurements ofrelaxometry and MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging).
