Self-Assembly Interactions in Magnetite-Coated Cellulose Nanocrystals: Implications for Magnetic Hyperthermia Applications
) likely due to its anisotropy and fast magnetic relaxation. Cytotoxicity assays confirmed that all nanocomposites were nontoxic toward mammalian cells. These results establish quantitative structure-property relationships between CNC surface chemistry, interfacial bonding mechanisms, and magnetic heating performance, providing a foundation for rational design of biocompatible magnetic nanocomposites for hyperthermia and related applications.
