Dataset on the physical characterization of biopolymer coated magnetic nanoparticles

The data presented in this article is related to the research article entitled "Paclitaxel loaded magnetic nanocomposites with folate modified chitosan/carboxymethyl surface; a vehicle for imaging and targeted drug delivery" (S. Bano, M. Afzal, M.M. Waraich, K. Alamgir, S. Nazir, 2016) [1]. It contains the absorbance spectra, band gap energies of pure nickel-ferrite nano cores (NFs), and calibration curve of Paclitaxel. Thermal stability analysis of pure NEs, chitosan (CS) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)-conjugated NEs samples is also included in the data. (C) 2016 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Inc.
