The unique properties and applications of iron oxide and Au nanoparticles have motivated researchers to synthesize and optimize a combined nanocomposite containing both. By using various polymers such as chitosan, some of the problems of classic core-shell structures (such as reduced saturation magnetization and thick coating) have been overcome. In the present study, chitosan and one of its we...

FeCo nanoparticles synthesized on sepiolite microparticles were used for the preparation of nanocomposites by melt compounding with polystyrene. Both, the sepiolite fibers and the nanoparticles were free of agglomeration, which allowed preparing nanocomposites with a homogeneous dispersion of the second phases, avoiding the usual agglomeration of the nanoparticles and minimizing light scatterin...

In this work, cobalt/polypyrrole (Co/PPy) nanocomposites were prepared via an in situ oxidation polymerization of pyrrole in an aqueous dispersion of Co nanoparticles (NPs). The Co/PPy nanocomposites showed good electromagnetic properties because of the coexistence of magnetic loss and dielectric loss to electromagnetic waves. The electromagnetic wave absorbing bandwidth (reflection loss < -10 ...

Multifunctional core-shell nanocomposites with a magnetic core and a silica shell doped with lanthanide chelate have been prepared by a simple method. First, citric acid-modified magnetite nanoparticles were synthesized by a chemical coprecipitation method. Then the magnetite nanoparticles were coated with silica shells doped with terbium (Tb(3+)) complex by a modified Stöber method based on hy...

Silver nanoparticles integrated with a magnetic matrix such as Fe3O4 to form AgFe3O4 nanocomposites show some advantages in their applications as an antibacterial agent and heterogeneous catalyst.

In this study, PMAs/NiFe2O4 nanocomposite was prepared using in-situ polymerization technique. The structure and morphological properties of nano composited were determined via FT-IR, SEM, EDX analysis methods. Thermal properties of prepared nanocomposites were investigated by TGA, DTA and DSC. Pure NiFe2O4 nanoparticles were synthesized using hydrothermal synthesis using the same conditions wi...

Schwann cells (SCs) are attractive seed cells in neural tissue engineering, but their application is limited by attenuated biological activities and impaired functions with aging. Therefore, it is important to explore an approach to enhance the viability and biological properties of SCs. In the present study, a magnetic composite made of magnetically responsive magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) and...

the composite powders of barium-magnesium ferrite were prepared using sol-gel auto-combustion and microwave methods. the crystal structure and the shape of nanocomposites have been compared. x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and vibrating sample magnetometer (vsm) were used to investigate the structural, morphological and magnetic properties of nanopowder. the formatio...

Magnesium ferrite (MgFe2O4) as a core magnetic nanostructure was synthesized via auto combustion method by using grapefruit extract as a biocompatible and cost-effective material. Then flower and star-like PbS were synthesized using thioglycolic acid as a sulfur source without using any chemical template. After that for preparation of magnetic and photocatalyst MgFe2O4-PbS nanocomposites, lead ...
