Mesoporous concentric magnetic FePt core-shells nanoparticle with functionalized surfaces for capturing metal ions and DNA molecules.

It is demonstrated that monodisperse magnetic FePt nanoparticle can be engineered into a protective dense silica layer, followed by concentric outer mesoporous silica layers with tailored -SH, -SO3H and -NH2 surface groups, these new materials can be used to capture heavy metal ions and DNA molecule...
