Since the advent of superparamagnetic nanoparticles, their properties have been vastly exploited by both industries and the scientific community. However, very few investigations are so far focused on the integration of such magnetic nanoparticles in an organic matrix for bio-medical applications. We hereby present our work conducted on porphyrin magnetite nanocomposites. The binding of magnetite particles to porphyrin was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. The magnetic properties of nanoparticles with different geometries (cubes and spheres), sizes (10 nm and 25 nm), and cladding was investigated with superconducting quantum interference device - vibrating sample magnetometry (SQUID-VSM). These properties were observed to be insignificantly influenced by the addition of porphyrin. Furthermore, a comprehensive study of the interaction behaviour among these nanoparticles was performed using the first order reversal curve measurement technique (FORC) [1].
