Magnetic and NMR relaxivity properties of {\gamma}-Fe2O3 nanoparticles embedded into the walls of polyelectrolyte multilayer capsules and freely dispersed in a sodium borate buffer solution have been investigated. The different geometric distribution of both configurations provides the opportunity to study the relationship of water accessibility and magnetic properties of particles on the NMR relaxivity. Changes in their blocking temperature and average dipolar field were modeled as a function of packing fraction in the ensemble of free and entrapped nanoparticles. For free nanoparticles with relatively low concentration, relaxivity values increase with packing fraction according to an increase in the dipolar field and larger water accessibility. However for embedded NPs in the capsule wall, packing fractions should be limited to optimise the efficiency of this system as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent.
