The use of nanomagnetic ferrite particles in cancer therapy and to control antibacterial agents is also noteworthy, because of their advantages in terms of resistance to temperature variations, chemical stability, and long-term durability. One of the promising applications of these nanoparticles includes water-purifying systems. In this chapter, those outstanding aspects of nanoparticle ferrites were treated since their very applicable point-of-view. In this sense, the structure properties of this class of materials are a very important matter to discuss, investigating how their unique ferrimagnetic face centered behavior could directly influence their potential in technological fields and innovative medical treatments. � 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.en-USBiomedical & bioengineeringNanomagnetic ferritesSurface functionalizationSynthesisTechnological and physical fieldConference paperhttps://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-030-79960-1_4
