Abstract

Abstract Cobalt ferrite functionalized chitosan graphene oxide (CoFe2O4@CS@GO) was inserted successfully in polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and its distribution was distinguished through scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis. Furthermore, the thermal and structural characterizations of the CoFe2O4@CS@GO-PVP nanocomposite were accomplished via the TGA, DSC, FT-IR, and XRD methods. The magnetic characterization of the synthesized nanocomposite was specified by vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Results demonstrated the improved thermal stability of pure PVP with the addition of CoFe2O4@CS@GO. The DSC analysis results also showed that the glass transition temperature of 158.9°C–164.8°C was obtained for the CoFe2O4@CS@GO-PVP nanocomposites. The FT-IR spectra indicated that an interaction occurred between CoFe2O4@CS@GO and PVP. Due to a good distribution of CoFe2O4@CS@GO in the PVP matrix, the strong interaction shown by the ~18 cm−1 red shift with good complexation of the carbonyl functional group of PVP with CoFe2O4@CS@GO was observed for the CoFe2O4@CS@GO-PVP (5% w/w) nanocomposite.
