Abstract
Abstract Mg–Al-layered double hydroxide intercalated with a model drug, salicylate, was deposited on laboratory-made magnesium ferrite and commercial magnetite nanoparticles. The obtained core–shell nanocomposites have been characterized by a variety of methods. The combined information from X-ray diffraction patterns, electron diffraction patterns, FTIR spectra, X-ray photoelectron spectra, electron microscopy images, thermogravimetric analysis and microchemical analysis has indicated a similar nature and composition for the two samples. Magnetic measurements have revealed that although the inherent magnetization of magnetite was significantly higher, the nanocomposites displayed nearly similar magnetic properties.
