Metal matrix composite coatings reinforced with nano-particles have attracted scientific and technological interest due to the enhanced properties exhibited by these coatings. Cobalt/hexagonal boron nitride nano-composite coatings were prepared by means of the pulse current electroplating from a chloride electrolyte on copper substrates and a comparison was made with the pure cobalt in terms of...

This book chapter is organized into four major parts. Firstly, it will cover an introduction of using spinel ferrite nanoparticles in biomedical applications, including the antibacterial properties. The second part will provide an overview of the structure and magnetism of spinel ferrites. The third part will focus on the preparation of cobalt ferrite and transition metal substituted cobalt fer...

magnetic cofe2o4 nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple chemical reaction using precipitation method. the obtained materials consist of ferrite particles with average diameter of 25 nm. the effect of different surfactants such as cationic, anionic and neutral on the morphology of the products was investigated. scanning electron microscopy was used to study the structure and particle size o...

Cobalt-doped iron oxide nanoparticles were prepared by solution combustion technique. The structural and magnetic properties of the prepared samples were also investigated. The average crystallite size of cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) magnetic nanoparticle was calculated using Scherrer equation, and it was found to be 16±5 nm. The particle size was measured by transmission electron microscope. This ...

Nano-structured lanthanum strontium cobalt ferrite, La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 (LSCF), was successfully synthesized via co-precipitation method using metal nitrates as starting materials. Effects of precipitating agent and calcination temperature on the phase composition and morphology of synthesized powders were systematically studied using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and field emission scanning elect...

Nearly monodisperse cobalt ferrite (CoFe2O4) nanoparticles without any size-selection process have been prepared through an alluring method in an oleylamine/ ethanol/water system. Well-defined nanospheres with an average size of 5.5 nm have been synthesized using metal chloride as the law materials and oleic amine as the capping agent, through a general liquid–solid-solution (LSS) process. Magn...

Cobalt ferrite is a ferrimagnetic magnetostrictive ceramic that has potential application in magnetoelastic and magnetoelectric transducers. In this work, CoFe(2)O(4) was obtained using a conventional ceramic method and Bi(2)O(3) was used as additive in order to obtain liquid-phase sintered samples. Bi(2)O(3) was added to the ferrite in amounts ranging from 0.25 mol% to 0.45 mol% and samples we...
