Core magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) nanoparticles have been functionalized with a model intelligent hydrogel system based on the temperature responsive polymer poly(n-isopropyl acrylamide) (PNIPAAm) to obtain magnetically responsive core-shell nanocomposites. Fe(3)O(4) nanoparticles were obtained from a one-...
