Abstract
This study establishes a viable process to prepare hybrid nanomaterials comprising stable ionic liquid-based ferrofluids (IL-FFs) with tunable magnetic anisotropy and reduced water contamination, where the latter strongly decreases the colloidal stability of the system. Spinel iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) with different compositions (γ-Fe2O3, Co0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4, and CoFe2O4) and different magnetic anisotropies were synthesized by the polyol method. The particles were coated with dihydrocaffeic acid (DHCA) in tetrahydrofuran (THF) and subsequently transferred directly to 3-ethyl-1-methylimidazolium acetate (EMIMAc), exploring the synergy between intermolecular and covalent bonding to obtain stable dispersions. The evolution of magnetic properties from powder to IL-FFs systems was investigated, allowing us to highlight the synergistic influence of interparticle interaction and magnetic anisotropy on the magnetization dynamics of the nanoparticles.
期刊介绍:
Langmuir is an interdisciplinary journal publishing articles in the following subject categories:
Colloids: surfactants and self-assembly, dispersions, emulsions, foams
Interfaces: adsorption, reactions, films, forces
Biological Interfaces: biocolloids, biomolecular and biomimetic materials
Materials: nano- and mesostructured materials, polymers, gels, liquid crystals
Electrochemistry: interfacial charge transfer, charge transport, electrocatalysis, electrokinetic phenomena, bioelectrochemistry
Devices and Applications: sensors, fluidics, patterning, catalysis, photonic crystals
However, when high-impact, original work is submitted that does not fit within the above categories, decisions to accept or decline such papers will be based on one criteria: What Would Irving Do?
Langmuir ranks #2 in citations out of 136 journals in the category of Physical Chemistry with 113,157 total citations. The journal received an Impact Factor of 4.384*.
This journal is also indexed in the categories of Materials Science (ranked #1) and Multidisciplinary Chemistry (ranked #5).
