Dr.Theivasanthi Created World Records in Superparamagnetism Nanotech Research

RAJAPALAIYAM, India - Jan. 24, 2015 - PRLog -- Dr.T.Theivasanthi, a research faculty of International Research Centre, Kalasalingam University has invented the world’s first superparamagnetic particles of plant materials (size: 15nm) named, “Santhi Particles”. It is a remarkable benchmark in the nanotechnology research field.

“I am very happy for these achievements. Making my inventions as world record entry in LIMCA Book is my pride”, she commented. These nanoparticles have been made using plants materials only. Bio-comaptible, low-cost, making mass production within short period are the salient features of these nanoparticles. These features will attract future research in nanotechnology / bio-physics / bio-technology and will lead to next level. The invented new nanomaterials will be useful in cancer diagnostics and treatment, she said further. Such particles from coconut shell (Santhi Particles-1. size 18 nm) and turmeric (Santhi Particles-2. size 20 nm) have also been prepared by her.

Smallest superparamagnetic particles of plant materials

T Theivasanthi (b May 25, 1978), Assistant Professor (Physics) at Kalasalingam University, Krishnankoil, Tamil Nadu invented ‘Santhi Particles’, the world’s first and smallest superparamagnetic particles of plant materials, measuring just 15 nanometre (nm). Superparamagnetism is a form of magnetism and generally such materials are made from magnetic nanoparticles. Theivasanthi’s four-year-long research in nanotechnology has led to the discovery of the superparamagnetic nano particles from bio-material. The new particle was tested for its superparamagnetic character at SAIF, IIT Madras on Feb 19, 2014. She has also developed such particles from turmeric (size 20 nm) and coconut shell (size 18 nm). She believes that the new nanomaterials will be useful in cancer diagnostics and treatment.
