In the present investigation, ZnFe2O4@MnO and MnFe2O4@ZnO magnetic nanocomposites were fabricated via a facile hydrothermal method and were calcined at 300 °C for 3 h. Synthesis of ZnFe2O4@MnO and MnFe2O4@ZnO magnetic nanocomposites optimized by the different weight percentages. The synthesized photocatalyst...

A magnetoresistive tactile sensor is reported, which is capable of working in high temperatures up to 140 °C. Hair-like bioinspired structures, known as cilia, made out of permanent magnetic nanocomposite material on top of spin-valve giant magnetoresistive (GMR) sensors are used for tactile sensing at high temperatures. The magnetic nanocomposite, consisting of iron nanowires incorporated into...

Nanocomposite of CoFe2O4/SrFe12O19 has been synthesized by the electrospinning and calcination process. A novel method that cobalt powder was used to replace traditional cobalt salt in the precursor sol-gel for electrospinning was proposed. The crystal structures, morphologies, and magnetic properties of these samples have been characterized in detail. Moreover, when the average crystallite siz...

CoFe2O4 Magnetic Nano Particles (MNPs) were synthesized by an efficient method in aqueous medium with the particle sizes of about 20-50 nm. Then, a hybrid nanocomposite of polyaniline (PANI)-CoFe2O4 MNPs has been electrodeposited directly on a stainless steel wire by the potentiostatic method. Microscopic images of electrodeposited PANI and PANI-C...

Nanocomposite high resistive soft magnetic materials Fe/SiO2 ~Fe volume fraction 50%! have been synthesized using a wet chemical reaction method. A series of metal-ceramic Fe/SiO2 nanocomposite powder samples were obtained by annealing the precursor at temperatures from 400 to 900 °C in the presence of a reducing agent. The compositions of the precursor and the successive heat-treated samples h...

Common dispersion methods such as ultrasonic sonication, planetary centrifugal mixing and magnetic dispersion have been used extensively to achieve moderate exfoliation of nanoparticles in polymer matrix. In this study, the effect of adding three roll milling to these three dispersion methods for nanoclay dispersion into epoxy matrix was investigated. A combination of each of these mixing metho...

Background: Multifunctional core-shell magnetic nanocomposite particles with tunable characteristics have been paid much attention for biomedical applications in recent years. A rational design and suitable preparation method must be employed to be able to exploit attractive properties of magnetic nanocomposite particles. Objectives: Herein, we report on a simple approach for the synthesis of m...

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 electr...

We report a facile method to produce a magnetically separable graphene oxide–magnetite nanocomposite (GO–Fe3O4) and its adsorption performance in methylene blue (MB) removal from aqueous solution. The GO–Fe3O4 nanocomposite was synthesized by a solution-phase self-assembly method including the incorporation of monodisperse Fe3O4 nanoparticles (NPs) and GO in a dimethylformamide/chloroform mixtu...
