Abstract: The response of 4-cyano-4’-hexylbiphenyl (6CB) liquid crystal to external magnetic field increased upon the addition of biocompatible magnetoferritin nanoparticles. Physicochemical properties of magnetoferritin were characterized by UV/VIS spectrophotometry and dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry measurements. The interaction between 6CB liquid crystal and magnetoferritin was examined by capacitance measurements.

Keywords: magnetoferritin, 6CB liquid crystal, capacitance, loading factor, magnetization.
