title: Synthesis of iron oxide coated fluoridated HAp/Ln³⁺ (Ln = Eu or Tb) nanocomposites for biological applications.
abstract: Fluorescent-magnetic iron oxide coated fluoridated HAp/Ln(3+) (Ln = Eu or Tb) nanocomposites were prepared. After transforming hydrophobic fluoridated HAp/Ln(3+) nanorods into hydrophilic ones, iron oxide particles were coated on their surface via thermal decomposition of Fe(acac)3. Fluorescent-magnetic nanocomposites developed in this study demonstrate excellent fluorescent-magnetic properties and prominent biocompatibility.
