Properties, Storage and Cautions
Iron nanoparticles are highly reactive and flammable, requiring careful handling. Rapid movement and vibrations should be avoided. The nanopowder must be stored away from sunlight, heat, moisture, and impacts. Because particle coagulation is a concern, it should be vacuum-sealed and stored in cool, dry conditions with minimal air exposure.
Applications
Iron nanoparticles possess notable electrical and magnetic properties. These characteristics make iron nanopowder suitable for magnetic probes, magnetic data storage, vacuum seals, magnetic separators, MRI contrast agents, hard metal degradation, transistor applications, and related technologies.
