Surface functionalization of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NPs) is a kind of functional materials, which have been widely used in the biotechnology and catalysis. In this study, Nickel-Zinc ferrite nanoparticles was functionalized with amino propyl triethoxy silane (APTES) by silanization reaction and both non coated and organosilane-coated magnetite characterized by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), X-ray diffractometry, Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and atomic force microscopy. Basic groups of amino anchored on the external surface of the coated magnetite were observed. Our study procedure nanoparticles which have surface with free - NH2 groups which can carry out ionic interaction with carboxylic groups and act as a carrier of biological molecules, drugs and metals.
