Influence of Controlled Dipolar Interaction for Polymer-Coated Gd-Doped Magnetite Nanoparticles toward Magnetic Hyperthermia Application

To maximize heat release from immobilized nanoparticles (NPs), a detailed understanding of the controlled dipolar interaction is essential for challenging magnetic hyperthermia (MH) therapies. To design optimal MH experiments, it is necessary to precisely determine magnetic states impacted by the inevitable concurrence of magnetic interactions under a common experimental form. In this work, we describe how the presence of dipolar interaction significantly alters the heating mechanism of host materials when NPs are embedded in them for MH applications. The concentration of the NPs and the intensity of their interaction can profoundly impact the amplitude and shape of the heating curves of the host material. The heating capability of interacting NPs might be enhanced or diminished, depending on their concentration within the host material. We propose chitosan- and dextran-coated Gd-doped Fe3O4 NPs directing dipole interactions effective for the linear regime to enlighten the pragmatic trends. The outcomes of our study may have substantial implications for cancer therapy and could inspire novel approaches for maximizing the effectiveness of MH.
