Controlling the interface, contact of organic‐inorganic materials is necessary for the preparation of high‐performance hybrid nanocomposites. Herein, the cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanofiller was synthesized via coprecipitation route by the reaction of Fe2 (SO4)3, CoSO4, and triethylene glycol. The obtained CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were thermally treated at 600°C for 5 hours. As prepared, the CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were surface functionalized with 3‐(triethoxysilyl) propylamine (APTES). The modified CoFe2O4 nanoparticles were used as reinforcement during the fabrication of epoxy‐based CoFe2O4 nanocomposite. The synthesized nanofillers and nanocomposites were structurally examined by Fourier transform infrared, X‐ray diffraction analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The effect of nanofiller on surface resistivity, electrical conductivity, and mechanical performance was also investigated. The surface resistivity of EP‐CoFe2O4 nanocomposite decreases with increasing loading concentration of CoFe2O4, while thermal degradation temperatures are improved by 90 K (12.7%) compared to neat EP‐polymer. The mechanical properties, that is, stress‐strain and Young's modulus show an increase of about 60% and 35%, respectively, at 5 wt% CoFe2O4 content. The incredible improvement in the electrical conductivity, mechanical, and thermal stability of EP‐CoFe2O4 up to 5%wt. CoFe2O4 contents are attained due to smaller size and well dispersion of nanofillers in the polymeric matrix. These simultaneous enhancements in properties intend that the EP‐CoFe2O4 nanocomposites can be useful as protective coatings and corrosion‐resistant for a variety of applications

The incorporation of inorganic nanoparticles into polymers have gained significant attention to improving functional properties. The ultimate nanocomposite behaviors are influenced by many parameters, such as microstructural distribution that are produced during the treatment process. Herein, a hybrid material integrating a modified network into a polyimide PI matrix was produced via the sol-gel method by the reaction of pyromellitic dianhydride, 4, 4-oxydianaline,

Hazardous effluents in the wastewaters deteriorate the ecosystem and its effective treatment is of interest to the scientific community. In this context, herein, the cobalt ferrite (CoFe 2 O 4 ) nanospheres were fabricated and inspected for photocatalytic-driven degradation of a hazardous Alizarin Red S (ARS) dye, as a model pollutant. For effective preparation of CoFe 2 O 4 nanospheres, triethylene glycol (PEG) was used as a stabilizing agent, during the reaction of cobalt oxide and iron sulfate, followed by thermally annealed and etched with 1 M hydrochloric acid. The surface of annealed nanospheres was functionalized by using 3-(triethoxysilyl)propylamine (APTES). The as-prepared pristine, annealed, and surface functionalized CoFe 2 O 4 nanospheres were characterized by analytical techniques, such as Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). From the XRD profile, the particle size of annealed and functionalized nanospheres were 17.3 and 21 nm, respectively. FTIR study corroborates the surface tailoring of CoFe 2 O 4 nanospheres. The SEM analysis of F-CoFe 2 O 4 nanospheres showed that the bigger aggregates of nanospheres disappear, and the overall distribution of particles was notably improved after functionalization. The surface engineered nanospheres presented high efficiency for ARS dye degradation under the optimal conditions of irradiation time, pH, adsorbent dose, dye dose, and different acids. Kinetics models explained that the degradation reaction following pseudo-first-order kinetics. The turnover number (TON) reached up to 2.75 × 10 8 , 2.85 × 10 8 and 3.01 × 10 8 for bare, annealed and functionalized CoFe 2 O 2 nanoparticles, respectively. In conclusion, the results indicate a high potential of photo-driven catalytic remediation of tested hazardous dye by engineered cobalt ferrite nanospheres and encourage further work on photocatalytic abatement of organic contaminants.
