In particular, magnetic nanoparticles with a modified surface are a very attractive alternative to deliver therapeutic agents. We describe the modification of the surface of the iron oxide nanoparticles with aminophosphonic acids by applying the classic hydrophosphonylation approach. %K magnetic nanoparticles %K aminophosphonates %K surface modification %U http://www.mdpi.com/1420-3049/18/7/8473
