Magnetic Nanomaterials for Biomedical Microrobots

Magnetically driven biomedical microrobots require materials that exhibit strong magnetic properties to allow for efficient propulsion and precise navigation within complex biological environments. Many factors, such as magnetic responsiveness, biocompatibility, and ease of fabrication of magnetic materials, are critical to the performance of magnetic microrobots. In this talk, I will present our recent work on magnetic nanomaterials, focusing on their synthesis, physical characteristics, and applications in biomedical microrobots. We have developed robust synthesis approaches for producing iron-based magnetic nanomaterials with controlled size, shape, and magnetic properties, which are crucial for their performance in microrobotic systems. We also performed in-depth characterization to understand the underlying physics of these materials, including their magnetic response and interaction dynamics. Our findings highlight the significant potential of magnetic nanomaterials in advancing the field of biomedical microrobots. Looking forward, we anticipate that continued research and development will lead to innovative applications and breakthroughs in healthcare, offering new possibilities for treating diseases and improving patient outcomes.
