Electrochemical synthesis and characterization of Fe[sub](70)Pd[sub](30) nanotubes for drug-delivery applications.

Fe70Pd30 system possesses magnetic shape memory-effect, which can be used in medicine purposes for triggering the drugs, for example. We report on successful direct electrochemical synthesis of Fe70Pd30 nanotubes. The tubes are ferromagnetic with high Ms=170 emu/g. For the application in medicine, the nanotubes were functionalized with the model drug paracetamol. The proposed type of release, with an initial burst and a slower release of the remaining drug, could be suitable for applications where a fast action is required, which then has to be maintained for a certain time period.
