We have designed a new magnetic targeting drug carrier Fe 3 O 4 -PVA with a core of triiron tetroxide (Fe 3 O 4 ) and a shell made of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) to improve the hydrophilicity of Fe 3 O 4 . With adriamycin hydrochloride as a model drug, this study goes on to measure the drug carrier performance of Fe 3 O 4 -PVA. In addition, the thermal stability and enthalpy of thermal decomposition of Fe 3 O 4 -PVA were measured using a differential scanning calorimeter with a non-isothermal decomposition method. The kinetics of thermal decomposition of Fe 3 O 4 -PVA were also investigated. Over the course of this study, it was determined that the resulting drug carrier Fe 3 O 4 -PVA exhibited high drug loading levels and excellent release levels.
