The paper presents results of our studies on hybrid materials based on polymers of natural origin containing superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs). Such nanoparticles, coated with the chitosan derivative, were immobilized in a chitosan-collagen hydrogel matrix by crosslinking with genipin. Three types of biopolymer matrices of different collagen-to-chitosan ratios were studied. A thorough magnetic characterization was performed, including magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, and hysteresis loop measurements in a temperature range of 4 K to 300 K and a magnetic field induction up to 8 Tesla. The effect of SPION immobilization and material composition on the magnetic properties of the hybrids was investigated. The results showed that hybrid materials with covalently bounded SPIONs preserved the superparamagnetic character of SPIONs and exhibited promising magnetic properties, which are important for their potential applications.
