Standardization of thermal performance of magnetic nanoparticles

Despite  the  remarkable  progress  in  the  magnetic  particle  hyperthermia  field,  the evaluation  process  of  specific  loss  power  of  magnetic  nanoparticles  suffers  from uncertainties    and    errors    imposed    not    only    by    experimental    parameters (depending  on  the  particles,  the  conditions  and  the  measurement)  but  by  the estimation  methodology,  as  well.  In  this  project,  our  goal  is  to  propose  a  step  by step   standardization   protocol,   that   can   be   universally   applied,   starting   from definition  and  recording  of  potential  uncertainty  and  error  sources,  present  during a typical magnetic hyperthermia experimental protocol.This  research  is  co-financed  by  Greece  and  the  European  Union  (European Social   Fund-   ESF)   through   the   Operational   Programme   «Human   Resources Development,  Education  and  Lifelong  Learning»  in  the  context  of  the  project “Reinforcement   of   Postdoctoral   Researchers   –   2nd   Cycle”   (MIS-5033021), implemented by the State Scholarships Foundation (ΙΚΥ)
