Synthesis and Surface Engineering of La1-xSrxMO3 Nanoparticles for Biomedical Applications

La1-xSrxMO3 nanoparticles have attracted increasing interest to material sciences due to their tunable Curie temperature (Tc), superparamagnetic nature and electrical properties, which could be utilized in magnetic hyperthermia treatment. However, La1-xSrxMO3 nanoparticles are toxity to biomolecules and very sensitive to oxidation because of their higher chemical reactivity. The surface modification could enhance stability, dispersibility and compatibility of La1-xSrxMO3 nanoparticles. This review article will introduce the progress on the synthesis and surface modification of La1-xSrxMO3 nanoparticles in recent years, and then give the perspectives of outlook.
