Preparation and Characterization of Nanocomposite Microspheres of Polystyrene and Fe3O4 by Emulsifier-Free Emulsion Polymerization

Article Preview

Abstract:

Composite microspheres of polystyrene and nanoFe3O4 particles were prepared through emulsifier-free polymerization with ultrasonic dispersion. The properties of composite microsphere were investigated by FT-IR spectrum, X-ray diffraction analysis, TEM, SEM and VSM. The determine results showed that Fe3O4 particles prepared by coprecipitation in lab were about 7~8 nm and with a narrow size distribution and superparamagnetic characteristics. The composite microsphere of polystyrene and Fe3O4 showed a diameter around 20~30 nm under TEM and SEM. The data of XRD indicated crystal forms of Fe3O4 in the composite microsphere did not change. The XRD spectrum of composite microsphere was a overlap of Fe3O4 crystal and amorphous polystyrene. The result of hysteresis curve indicated that the composite microspheres still had superparamagnetic characteristics.
