Abstract

We report the biocompatible Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@SiO<sub>2</sub>@APG-F nanocomposite for drug delivery and hyperthermia applications. The Fe<sub>3</sub>O<sub>4</sub>@SiO<sub>2</sub>@APG-F nanocomposite could serve as a good hyperthermia agent, drug delivery carrier, and fluorescent contrast agent.
