ABSTRACT: Hyperthermia treatment using appropriate magnetic materials in an alternating magnetic field to generate heat has been proposed as a low-invasive cancer treatment method. Magnetite iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4) are expected to be an appropriate type of magnetic material for this purpose due to its biocompatibility. Several polymers are used to Fe3O4 MNPs to avoid or decrease agglomeration, and in most cases increase dispersion stability. In this review, we will give briefly how these coated magnetite nanoparticles (PMNPs) are synthesized in the first part. The main characterization techniques usually used to study the properties of these MNPs are prseneted in the second part. Finally, most recent results on the heating ability of polymeric coated magnetite nanoparticles (PMNPs) are given in the last part of this review.
