Thermal, magnetic, and optical characteristics of ABS‐Fe₂O₃ nanocomposites

Abstract

Uniform monodisperse FeOOH and hematite (Fe 2 O 3 ) nanoparticles were synthesized at room temperature via a facile sonochemical reaction between FeCl 3 and NaOH. Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles were then added to acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) polymer. Nanoparticles and nanocomposites were characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy techniques. The effect of the presence of FeOOH and Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles in the polymer matrix on the thermal properties was studied using thermogravimetric analysis and derivative thermogravimetric analysis, in both air and nitrogen atmospheres. The magnetic properties of the samples were also investigated using an alternating gradient force magnetometer. We found that the Fe 2 O 3 nanoparticles exhibit a ferromagnetic behavior with a saturation magnetization of 0.869 emu/g and a coercivity of 191 Oe at room temperature. The coercivity of ABS/ Fe 2 O 3 (5%) nanocomposites is found to be 252 Oe, higher than 226 Oe which is obtained for ABS/Fe 2 O 3 (20%). V C 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Adsorption and sugarcane-bagasse-derived activated carbon-based mitigation of 1-[2-(2-chloroethoxy)phenyl]sulfonyl-3-(4-methoxy-6-methyl-1,3,5-triazin-2-yl) urea-contaminated soils

“…The change in functional groups in raw S. officinarum bagasse and SAC, i.e., before and after the formation of AC was studied through FTIR spectrometry. Sample pallets were prepared following the methodology devised by Nabiyouni and Ghanbari [16]. Sample was run in FTIR from 400 to 4,000 cm −1 .…”

Microwave-Assisted Synthesis of BaFe12O19 Nanoparticles and Ethyl Cellulose-Based Magnetic Nanocomposite

“…Barium ferrite BaFe 12 O 19 is a well-known permanent magnet with relatively high Curie temperature (TC D 502 C), high coercivity, and high magnetic anisotropy. [2][3][4][5][6][7] Hexagonal ferrites such as barium ferrite have been widely used as the hard magnetic materials for permanent magnets, high-density perpendicular recording media, absorption of microwave radiation, magneto-optic materials, and microwave filters. These materials have a potential application at high frequency range due to their very low electrical conductivity, fairly large magnetocrystalline anisotropy, high Curie temperature, relatively large saturation magnetization, mechanical hardness, excellent chemical stability, and low production costs.…”
