Synthesis and characterization of Fe3O4 decorated carbon nanotubes via cyclic microwave approach and its drug release behavior

Fe3O4 decorated carbon nanotubes were synthesized by cyclic microwave method and the effects of differentreaction parameters on the products were also investigated. The as synthesized products were characterized by XRD,SEM, FT-IR, and VSM. It was observed that at the irradiation power 900 W and irradiation time 6 min the best productswith desired particle size distribution obtained. Acetaminophen was applied as drug and the drug release behavior ofnanocomposite was investigated and it was observed that at pH=7.4 the best release behavior of the composite wasobserved. Also it was observed that applying magnetic field can significantly decrease drug release from magneticnanocomposit.
