Modification of carbon fiber with barium hexaferrite nanostructures

Abstract

A method for the preparation of a hybrid material by modifying the surface of carbon fiber with barium hexaferrite particles using ultrasonic treatment was proposed. Scanning electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction were used to identify the barium hexaferrite and to reveal the structural specific features, degree of ordering and homogeneity of the carbon fibers modified with barium hexaferrite. A vibrating magnetometer was used to determine the specific magnetic moment of the obtained hybrid, which was found to be equal to ∼2.03 A m² kg⁻¹.
