Corr Yury P. Rakovich Yurii K. Gun ko Received 20 November 2007 Accepted 14 February 2008 Published online 6 March 2008 to the authors 2008 Abstract Nanotechnology is a fast-growing area involving the fabrication and use of nano-sized materials and devices. Various nanocomposite materials play a number of important roles in modern science and technology. Magnetic and fluorescent inorganic nanoparticles are of particular importance due to their broad range of potential applications. It is expected that the combination of magnetic and fluorescent properties in one nanocomposite would enable the engineering of unique multifunctional nanoscale devices which could be manipulated using external magnetic fields. The aim of this review is to present an overview of bimodal two-in-one magnetic-fluorescent nanocomposite materials which combine both magnetic and fluorescent properties in one entity in particular those with potential applications in biotechnology and nanomedicine. There is a great necessity for the development of these multifunctional nanocomposites but there are some difficulties and challenges to overcome in their fabrication such as quenching of the fluorescent entity by the magnetic core. Fluorescent-magnetic nanocomposites include a variety of materials including silica-based dye-functionalised magnetic nanoparticles and quantum dots-magnetic nanoparticle composites.
