One-step fabrication of magnetic gamma-Fe2O3/polyrhodanine nanoparticles using in situ chemical oxidation polymerization and their antibacterial properties

Ferromagnetic gamma-Fe2O3/polyrhodanine nanoparticles with average diameters of ca. 10 nm were prepared by a one-step synthetic procedure and applied as a recyclable antibacterial agent towards Gram-negative/positive bacteria.
