Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue provides information about the synthesis and environmental/biomedical applications of micro/nanomagnetic materials (i.e., paramagnetic, diamagnetic, and ferromagnetic). Environmental applications of magnetic materials/nanomaterials include the synthesis and design of new magnetic materials and their applications to develop new techniques, technologies, and solutions for pollution remediation (soil, water, and air pollution), water purification, environmental sensing, cost-effective alternative energy generation, resources, plant nutrition, agricultural applications, and nanosensor, nanoabsorbent and nano-photocatalyst applications. Moreover, magnetic materials are indispensable and promising for many biomedical applications, including but not limited to hyperthermia, controlled drug delivery and release, tissue engineering, therapeutics, laboratory-on-chip applications, and imaging technology. In addition, the possible toxic effects of these applications for living beings, difficulties in clinical applications, and recent developments are within the scope of this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Processes is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs).

The demand to synthesize economical detoxification adsorbents of organic pollutants has been a thriving solicitude for most environmental research aspirants. Here, we synthesized a titanium(III) oxide doped with spherical shaped meta-aminophenol formaldehyde magnetic microspheres (Ti2O3/mAPF MMSs) by the polymerization method of Ti2O3 nanoparticles with formaldehyde and m-aminophenol. SEM analysis confirmed the synthesized material as crystalline in nature and had ~400–450 nm sized particles. The physical characterization of the Ti2O3/mAPF MMSs were quantitatively revealed by FTIR spectrum and PXRD in elaboration. The carboxylate frequency and the characteristic apex of the titanium–oxygen bond was found in the FTIR spectrum for Ti2O3/mAPF derived from Ti2O3. The PXRD patterns proved that the synthesized magnetic microspheres contained Ti2O3 nanoparticles. The experimental methods of TGA and DTA confirmed the thermal stability and its composition of Ti2O3/mAPF MMSs. The kinetic adsorption study for methyl violet was confirmed as first-order kinetics. The present study was to investigate the dye desorption of methyl violet from simulated water samples by using a titanium(III) oxide doped with meta-aminophenol formaldehyde magnetic microspheres in an adsorption process.

This review focuses on the role of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), their physicochemical properties, their potential applications, and their association with the consequent toxicological effects in complex biologic systems. These MNPs have generated an accelerated development and research movement in the last two decades. They are solving a large portion of problems in several industries, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, diagnostics, water remediation, photoelectronics, and information storage, to name a few. As a result, more MNPs are put into contact with biological organisms, including humans, via interacting with their cellular structures. This situation will require a deeper understanding of these particles’ full impact in interacting with complex biological systems, and even though extensive studies have been carried out on different biological systems discussing toxicology aspects of MNP systems used in biomedical applications, they give mixed and inconclusive results. Chemical agencies, such as the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemical substances (REACH) legislation for registration, evaluation, and authorization of substances and materials from the European Chemical Agency (ECHA), have held meetings to discuss the issue. However, nanomaterials (NMs) are being categorized by composition alone, ignoring the physicochemical properties and possible risks that their size, stability, crystallinity, and morphology could bring to health. Although several initiatives are being discussed around the world for the correct management and disposal of these materials, thanks to the extensive work of researchers everywhere addressing the issue of related biological impacts and concerns, and a new nanoethics and nanosafety branch to help clarify and bring together information about the impact of nanoparticles, more questions than answers have arisen regarding the behavior of MNPs with a wide range of effects in the same tissue. The generation of a consolidative framework of these biological behaviors is necessary to allow future applications to be manageable. Full article
