Abstract

Studies on drug delivery using nano-size particles of magnetic fluid and hyperthermia have been performed by some researchers [1] because interests in human health increased according to industry development. However, there are few studies on systems which can accurately control delivery of the magnetic fluids to a diseased part of body [2]. In this study, Cu-added magnetic ferrofluid was prepared and the external magnetic field system was designed for drug localization.
