Magnetic properties and morphology of block copolymer-cobalt oxide nanocomposites
نویسندگان
چکیده
The morphology and magnetic properties of diblock copolymer templated ferrimagnetic cobalt oxide nanoparticles are reported. Ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) was used to synthesize a novel cobalt diblock copolymer, where cobalt is directly attached to the polymer chain. Gel permeation chromatography (GPC) was performed to determine molecular weight distribution. Transmission electron microscope (TEM), UV–Vis, FTIR, and vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) were used to characterize the block copolymer nanocomposite. The nanocomposite films were weakly ferrimagnetic at room temperature. The cobalt oxide nanoparticles were uniformly dispersed within the polymer matrix with an average radius of 4.9 0.9 nm. r 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 78.66.Qn; 75.50.Kj

Previously, we have synthesized a cobaltcontaining diblock copolymer system which exhibited room temperature ferromagnetic properties after phase separation and heat treatment. We have also shown that the morphology and cobalt density in the nanostructured domains both influenced the magnetic properties of these materials due to nanoconfinement which enhanced the dipolar interactions between ot...
