Controlling the physical properties of polyacrylonitrile by strontium hexaferrite nanoparticles

Abstract The formulation of polymer with embedded magnetic nanoparticles results in promising nanocomposites for smart and analytical applications. Nanocomposites containing polyacrylonitrile (PAN) different mass contents strontium hexaferrite (SFO) were prepared using the casting method. nanocomposite samples characterized by techniques such as field-emission scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, differential calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis. Dielectric investigations SFO/PAN showed that permittivity conductivity are considerably enhanced content SFO increased. Optical properties revealed absorption transmittance spectra significantly affected adding to PNA matrix. To investigate samples, vibrating sample magnetometer was used. hysteresis loops illustrated ferromagnetic nature nanocomposites. Different parameters given, they depend on PAN
