In this research, we report the size‐controlled synthesis and surface‐functionalization of magnetite with the natural antioxidant gallic acid (GA) as a ligand, using in situ and post‐synthesis methods. GA functionalization provided narrow size distribution, with an average particle size of 5 and 8 n...
