Preparation and characterization of polymer coated superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticle agglomerates

2009-05-01
In order to produce magnetic microparticles (agglomerates), magnetite (Fe3O4) particles were synthesized using coprecipitation of FeSO4 center dot 7H(2)O and FeCl3 center dot 6H(2)O with the presence of poly (methacrylic acid) (PMAA) in aqueous solution.. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction, and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM) methods were used to characterize the PMAA coated superparamagnetic agglomerates. The influences of various processing parameters such as the process temperature, PMAA content, and the addition of surfactant on the agglomerate size and size distribution of produced magnetic microparticles were investigated. The particle size and size distribution characteristics, (the volume weighted mean size (1)[4,31, surface weighted mean size D[3,2], the geometric standard deviation, and span value) of the magnetic agglomerates were determined using the laser diffraction technique. The PMAA coated magnetic agglomerates with surface weighted mean sizes ranging from 1.5 to 3 mu m were produced successfully.

Altıntaş Yıldırım, Özlem; Durucan, Caner; Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering (2014)
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures have attracted considerable attention in many electrical, optoelectronic and magnetic applications due to their unique properties originating form characteristic wide band gap and large exciton binding energy of ZnO. Electrical, optical and magnetic properties of ZnO nanostructures strongly depend on their size and morphology. Therefore, there has been a strong interest in the synthesis of ZnO nanostructures with well-controlled size and shape. These synthesis approaches shou...

Barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19, BaHF) is an important magnetic material due to its effective electromagnetic wave absorbing characteristics. The most convenient way of producing BaHF ceramics is mixed oxide method in which BaHF powders are synthesized from Fe2O3 and BaCO3 starting materials by the action of heat. The calcination process is typically conducted by conventional heating under ambient atmosphere. However, microwave heating can be ...
