Abstract
This study focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and implications of magnetic nanoparticles stabilized with
various fatty acids. Iron oxide nanoparticles were synthesized using the co-precipitation method and stabilized with different
bio-surfactants such as flaxseed oil, almond oil, and olive oil. Characterization techniques included X-ray diffraction (XRD),
Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), particle size analysis, and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). XRD
confirmed the structure of initial magnetite nanoparticles, with sizes estimated between 50-100 nm, further validated by TEM
imaging. FTIR spectroscopy was employed to analyze the functional groups attached to the nanoparticle surfaces.
Keywords: SPIONs, Carrier Oils, Stabilization, FTIR, TEM, XRD.
