Abstract

This study introduces the development of an innovative polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite enhanced with superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), specifically engineered as a polymer coating for medical devices and as a functional material for Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) in diagnostic applications. To achieve uniform spatial dispersion of nanoparticles within the PDMS matrix, ultrasonic treatment was employed, effectively enhancing the homogeneity of SPION distribution throughout the polymer structure. The results demonstrate significant promise for this superparamagnetic composite, offering new avenues in the advancement of polymer-based materials for medical imaging and device technology.
