Ferrites are of great interest due to their technological applications because of their interesting dielectric and magnetic properties. Among other ferrites such as e.g., spinel ferrites are widely used because of their high values of electrical resistivity and low losses which make them ideal for their use at microwave frequencies. Ferrites have also better chemical stability and mechanical hardness which make them suitable for biocompatibility as well. Sol-gel method is more versatile to synthesize the spinel nano ferrites, so it has been used in the present synthesis process of ferrites. The characterization of nano ferrites has been carried out using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM), Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) and Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). In the biomedical application, the UV-VIS spectroscopy of uncoated and coated spinel nano ferrites has been done and checked the absorption of drug in nano particles, after this the cytotoxicity analysis of human cancer cell lining with drug loaded nano particles will be carried out in future work.
