Thermophysical and Magnetic Properties of Magnetite – Polyethylene Composite

Abstract

In this work, it is shown that the advantage of using matrix-stabilized magnetic nanoparticles to obtain polymer nanocomposites based on them is that such nanoparticles retain their dispersion and stability of size and shape in the technological modes of obtaining polymer nanocomposite materials, and thus ensured stable ferro- and superparamagnetic properties of the obtained target products. For the production of films by the method of hot pressing from blanks obtained in an injection molding machine or a mechanochemical mixture, a manual electrically heated hydraulic press was used. The magnetic properties of nanocomposite samples (about 50 mg on average) were studied using a vibration magnetometer. The character of the dependence of the magnetization on the magnitude of the magnetic field confirms the ferromagnetic character of the behavior of the obtained nanocomposites. The resulting film nanocomposites exhibit ferromagnetic properties at room temperature.
