Most biological processes take place at the nanoscale, and this gives us the opportunity to understand these processes and create new materials due to technical progress. Magnetic nanomaterials have considerable potential for use in medicine, e.g. in the distribution of the drug to the affected areas, in imaging, and in therapy. The main goal of the dissertation is not only the preparation of new magnetic nanomaterials, the binding of biologically active substances and the study of their physicochemical properties such as size, shape, structure, surface charge, magnetic properties, but also the investigation of their suitability for use in the field of magnetic resonance diagnostics and the treatment of diseases e.g. by magnetic hyperthermia.
