摘要

Amorphous carbon/Fe3O4 composite particles were evaluated as vectors for doxorubicin (DOX) antitumor drug delivery. DOX was loaded into a liquid solution of amorphous composite carbon and 10% Fe3O4 nanoparticles to evaluate its potential as a drug carrier. The amount of DOX adsorbed was measured using UV–Vis spectroscopy to quantify the loading efficiency. The amount of DOX adsorbed by the composite reached approximately 90% in 10 min, with little change for 20 days. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to assess the chemical functionalities present and to qualitatively examine the association of DOX with the composite after loading.
