SYNTHESIS AND STUDY OF STRUCTURES OF MAGNETITE Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> NANOPARTICLES IN POLYETHYLENE GLYCOL MEDIUM
Synthesis of magnetite Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles functionalized with polyethylene glycol was carried out by co-precipitation method using a very small amount of organic substances to obtain a highly monodisperse form of nanoparticles, and the structure of obtained Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles was studied by physical methods. During the synthesis of magnetic Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles surrounded by a polymer, it has been determined that by adjusting the amount of used polymer, the nature of the precipitating agent, the concentration of the initial precursors and the temperature it was possible to synthesize and stabilize monodisperse Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub> nanoparticles with a high degree of purity, uniform in size
