Abstract

Various properties of spinel iron oxide nanoparticles are reviewed in relation to the control of the particle size and the control of their dispersion in a variety of matrices. The deep knowledge of the different synthesis parameters and the interfacial oxide-solution characteristics allows to prepare a large variety of materials like calibrated nanoparticles and inorganic or hybrid nanocomposites.
