Application of MgFe2O4/PVP nanocomposite for LDPE films treatment

Abstract

Magnesium ferrite nanoparticles (MgFe2O4 NPs) exhibit intrinsic peroxidaselike activity and have been effectively used as nanozymes – enzyme mimics that catalyze biochemical reactions similarly to natural enzymes. These nanomaterials have been used in wastewater treatment as adsorbents to remove heavy metal ions and as Fenton-like catalysts for break down contaminants. Due to their biocompatibility and low toxicity these nanoferrites find their application in medicine; their semiconducting and superparamagnetic properties are used to set up bioelectronic sensor devices for environmental monitoring. The aim of this study was to synthesize and to evaluate magnesium ferrite nanocomposites application in the treatment and functional modification of LDPE films.
