It is postulated that such changes, which occur under different growth conditions, may influence the characteristics of nanomaterials synthesized by these bacteria. The surface charge potential and iron reduction profiles of different <em>Shewanella</em> spp. can thus be exploited to tune the properties of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (MNPs) for different applications. These aspects have not been investigated in depth. In this study, the structural, magnetic, and biological properties of MNPs mineralized by <em>Shewanella oneidensis</em> MR-1 and <em>Shewanella putrefaciens</em> CN-32 were characterized and compared. The products were analyzed using X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, and dynamic light scattering to determine their crystalline structure, particle diameter, and size distribution, respectively. MNPs synthesized by <em>S. oneidensis</em> MR-1 had a more compact crystal structure than those produced by <em>S. putrefaciens</em> CN-32. Iron reduction under non-growth conditions resulted in a smaller particle size, more defined shape, and smoother surface compared to those under growth conditions. Magnetic properties measured using vibrating sample magnetometry indicated an incomplete superparamagnetic state for <em>S. putrefaciens</em> nanoparticles and a superparamagnetic state for <em>S. oneidensis</em> nanoparticles under non-growth conditions. Hence, resting conditions not only facilitate the sustainable synthesis of MNPs but also offer better control over particle crystallization. Cytotoxicity was absent under both conditions. This study contributes to the understanding of biologically synthesized MNPs and highlights the potential of <em>Shewanella</em> spp. as reliable sources for producing uniform and functional nanomaterials under environmentally benign conditions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":366,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Magnetism and Magnetic Materials","volume":"616 ","pages":"Article 172814"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143165395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experimental results demonstrate that ammonium polyacrylic acid (PAA-NH<sub>4</sub>) significantly improves the dispersion of both large and small CI particles, enhancing their alignment under an applied magnetic field. Rheological measurements, supported by finite element simulations, reveal that smaller, well-dispersed CI particles align more efficiently, forming closely packed and robust chain structures. This results in uniform magnetic brushes with improved coverage of the polishing surface, enabling a gentler, more efficient polishing process.

First, a simulation analysis of the magnetic field distribution surrounding the friction subsurface is presented. Then, the tribological experiments are performed. Subsequently, experimental results and an ultra-depth digital microscope interactive system were combined to reveal thermomagnetic coupling lubrication mechanism. The experimental results indicate that different thermomagnetic coupling fields affect the tribological properties of magnetorheological grease and the magnetic field could compensate for the effect of temperature rise. The magnetic particles covered by the base oil will participate in the lubrication process.
