A novel nanofibrous composite scaffold composed of super-paramagnetic γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles (MNP), hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHA) and poly lactide acid (PLA) was prepared using electrospinning technique. The scaffold well responds extern static magnetic field with typical saturation magnetization value of 0.049 emu/g as well as possesses nanofibrous architecture. The scaffolds were implante...

This work reports on the implementation of electrospinning (ES) as a facile route to encapsulate nano-engineered materials in a polystyrene (PS) matrix. We applied ES to co-encapsulate two kinds of nanoparticles, i.e., upconversion nanophosphors (UCNPs) and superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), in polystyrene (PS)-based microand nano-fibers (PSFs). This approach made it possible ...

The phase control, hierarchical architecturing and hybridization of iron oxide is important for achieving multifunctional capability for many practical applications. Herein, hierarchically structured reduced graphene oxide (hrGO)/α-Fe2O3 and γ-Fe3O4 nanobox hybrids (hrGO/α-Fe and hrGO/γ-Fe NBhs) are synthesized via a one-pot, hydrothermal process and their functionality controlled by the crysta...

The process of reductive dissolution of α-Fe2O3, Ba-hexaferrite, α-FeOOH, γ-Fe2O3, γ-FeOOH, and ferrihydrite can be monitored continuously by abrasive stripping voltammetry and chronoamperometry to obtain information about homogeneity of reactivity and about the particle size of the pure phases and mixtures. Phase parameters (rate constant and charge transfer coefficient) and the geometrical fa...

We have investigated the role of the grain boundary on the resistive magnetodielectric property of polycrystalline γ -Fe2O3 through impedance spectroscopy measurements. Depending on the sample preparation temperature, the dielectric constant of γ -Fe2O3 is significantly different especially at low frequencies (<104 Hz) and high temperatures (>200 K). The value of the magnetodielectric effect at...

Although individual γ-Fe2O3 and α-Fe2O3 have been widely fabricated for gas sensors, their mixed phase of α/γ-Fe2O3 might deliver excellent sensing properties. In this study, a facile solvothermal method was used to fabricate Fe-alkoxide. After thermal treatment, it converted into γ-Fe2O3, mixed-phase with nanosheets-assembled flower-like structure. We studied the influence calcination temperat...

Fe2O3 nanosheets and nanoparticles are grown on graphene by simply varying reaction solvents in a facile solvothermal/hydrothermal preparation. Fe2O3 nanosheets are uniformly dispersed among graphene nanosheets, forming a unique sheet-on-sheet nanostructure. Due to the structure affinity between two types of two dimensional nanostructures, graphene nanosheets are separated better by Fe2O3 nanos...
