Abstract
The colloidal properties of magnetic nanoparticles are one of the determining factors to the success of the biomedical applications of these materials. This chapter reviews competing forces that influence particle stability, how the core particle size influences this stability, and characterization techniques to measure colloidal stability. The goal is to provide the reader with an overview of strategies and techniques to design, produce, and characterize surface-modified particles for a variety of applications.
