In the present study, oleic acid (OA)-decorated magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) were synthesized via in situ co-precipitation method using ammonium hydroxide as a precipitating agent. This study aims to determine the optimum loading amount of OA for improving the MNPs colloidal stability. Based on ou...
