Abstract

Nanoalloys formed by the amalgamation of bimetallic or multimetallic systems are at the heart of nanoscience due to their ability to manipulate both composition and size for specific purposes. Among others, magnetic hybrid nanoalloys (MHNAs) have received significant attentions due to their potential applications in various fields such as data storage, magneto-optics, and biomedical sciences. These MHNAs are considered as more effective than monometallic nanoparticles due to their synergistic properties. Especially, the biomedical applications of MHNAs require their surface modification with suitable functional moieties for water dispersibility, biocompatibility, and site-specific targeting. In this chapter, we have discussed the importance of surface chemistry and various strategies used for surface modification of MHNAs along with their potential applications in biomedical sciences. In addition, synthesis methodologies of MHNAs are also briefly discussed.
