This paper deals with the preparation and complex characterization of magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs), stabilized with sodium oleate (SO), by the routine methods such as infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), magnetic measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and dynamic light scattering (DLS). The FTIR spectra showed that SO molecules were linked to MNPs through chemical bonding. Magnetic measurements proved that the MNPs are superparamagnetic in nature. Four different methods were used to determine the size and size distribution of the MNPs: SEM, DLS, differential centrifugal sedimentation (DCS) and magnetic measurements. SEM analysis showed a relatively narrow size distribution of roughly spherical MNPs with a mean diameter of 61 nm. DLS analysis confirmed monodispersed MNPs production with hydrodynamic diameter of 75 nm. The size distribution determined by DCS was found to be 69 nm. Finally, the calculated magnetic core diameter obtained from magnetization curve was 10 nm. The obtained results demonstrate that SO coated MNPs fulfil the requirements for a useful drug delivery system.
