ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles were tightly packed and encapsulated in chitosan nanospheres by a nonsolvent-aided counterion complexation method. The obtained hybrid nanospheres exhibited not only the superparamagnetic properties provided by pure ZnFe2O4 nanoparticles but also a much higher r2 relaxivity value than separate Zn…
