The physicochemical characterization of the magnetoferritin biomacromolecule in terms of morphology, structural and magnetic properties shows that iron oxides can be efficiently loaded into apoferritin molecules, preserving their native biocompatible structure and affecting the morphology of the protein shell.
The response in capacitance to low external magnetic fields (up to 0.1 T) of suspensions of spherical magnetic nanoparticles, single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), SWCNT functionalized with carboxyl group (SWCNT-COOH) and SWCNT functionalized with Fe$_3$O$_4$ nanoparticles in a nematic liquid crystal has been studied experimentally. The volume concentration of nanoparticles was $ϕ_1$ = 10$^{-4}$ and $ϕ_2$ = 10$^{-3}$. Independent of the type and the volume concentration of the nanoparticles, a linear response to low magnetic fields (far below the magnetic Fréederiksz transition threshold) has been observed, which is not present in the undoped nematic.
