Toxicity Analysis of Hybrid Nanodiamond/Fe(3)O(4) Nanoparticles on Allium cepa L

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The chemicals of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, FeCl(3).6H(2)O, FeCl(2).4H(2)O, NaCl, and NaOH (Sigma-Aldrich chemicals, USA) were utilized in this study. A statistical analysis was performed on the results with a prevalence of p < 0.05. RESULTS: A novel ND/Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposite material was successfully synthesized by the in-situ method and characterized by various characterization techniques. The analysis of X-ray diffraction indicated the formation of an ND/Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposite with both participating phases. The saturation magnification of the ND/Fe(3)O(4) nanocomposite is 13.2 emu/g, whereas for a pure Fe(3)O(4) nanomaterial, it is 47 emu/g. The weight rates of ND and Fe(3)O(4) existent in the nanocomposite are 28% and 72%, respectively. From the electrical conductivity analysis, ND/Fe(3)O(4) exhibits conductivity in the order of 27 times more compared to ND. CONCLUSION: The result implies that the product ND/Fe(3)O(4) has both magnetic and electrical properties. The biocompatibility of the synthesized ND/Fe(3)O(4) material was studied based on the in-vitro method.
