Purpose: The main purpose of this publication is to bring closer co-precipitation method of magnetic particles synthesis. Procedure of examining and characterisation of those materials was also shown. Design/methodology/approach: During the work, the properties and possible biomedical application of the material produced were also examined. Surface morphology studies of the obtained particles were made using Zeiss's Supra 35 scanning electron microscope and S/TEM TITAN 80-300 transmission electron microscope. In order to confirm the chemical composition of observed layers, qualitative tests were performed by means of spectroscopy of scattered X-ray energy using the Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). The Raman spectra of the samples were measured with a InVia Raman microscope by Renishaw. Magnetic properties of hematite nanoparticles were made using VSM magnetometer. Findings: Using VSM magnetometer proved that obtained material is mixture of ferromagnetic and superparamagnetic domain. Practical implications: Magnetic Nanoparticles (MNPs) has been gaining an incrementally increasing interest of scientists in the biomedical areas. Presented materials can be used in the hyperthermia phenomena which can be used in precise cancer treatment. Originality/value: Specific magnetic properties which determinate obtained material to be well for hyperthermia phenomena.

Purpose: The influence of UV radiation on the antibacterial properties of titanium oxide nanoparticles was examined using yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain for this purpose. Design/methodology/approach: Nanopowders were made with sol-gel method. Surface morphology studies of the obtained materials were made using Zeiss's Supra 35 scanning electron microscope. In order to confirm the chemical composition of observed nanopowders, qualitative tests were performed by means of spectroscopy of scattered X-ray energy using the Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). The DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering) method was used to analyse the particle size distribution using the AntonPaar Litesizer 500 nanoparticle size analyser. Changes in particle size distribution at elevated temperatures were also observed. The antibacterial properties of titanium oxide nanoparticles were examined by subjecting the yeast sample to irradiation with an UV lamp. Findings: Samples containing yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae were irradiated with and without the addition of TiO2 nanoparticles. A faster decrease in the colony count was observed compared to irradiated exposures without the addition of a suspension. Practical implications: Presented materials can be used in the production of antibacterial coatings for surfaces occurring in public spaces such as schools, hospitals, public toilets for the simple and effective elimination of bacteria and fungi as a result of exposures. Originality/value: The antibacterial properties of titanium oxide nanoparticles under UV radiation were confirmed.

Purpose: The main purpose of this publication is to bring closer method of synthesis and examining basic properties of TiO2, ZnO and NiO nanoparticles (NPs), and investigate their possible biomedical application. Design/methodology/approach: Nanopowders were made with sol-gel method. Surface morphology studies of the obtained materials were made using Zeiss's Supra 35 scanning electron microscope and the structure using S/TEM TITAN 80-300 transmission electron microscope. In order to confirm the chemical composition of observed nanopowders, qualitative tests were performed by means of spectroscopy of scattered X-ray energy using the Energy Dispersive Spectrometer (EDS). The DLS (Dynamic Light Scattering) method was used to analyse the particle size distribution using the AntonPaar Litesizer 500 nanoparticle size analyser. Changes in particle size distribution at elevated temperatures were also observed. The TiO2, ZnO and NiO NPs with spherical shape were successfully produced by sol-gel method. Findings: The diameter of the as prepared nanoparticles does not exceed 25 nm which is confirmed by the TEM analysis. The highest proportion among the agglomerates of the nanoparticles has been shown to show those with a diameter of 80 to 125 nm. The qualitative analysis of EDS confirmed the chemical composition of the material. Practical implications: Nanoparticles (NPs) has been receiving an incrementally increasing interest within biomedical fields researchers. Nanoparticles properties (physical, chemical, mechanical, optical, electrical, magnetic, etc.) are different from the properties of their counterparts with a larger particle size. Originality/value: The nanoparticles were prepared using sol-gel method which allows the particle size to be controlled in a simple way.
