Abstract

In this work, we present the spectral investigation of the interactions between the coverage with alginic acid (AA) and nanoparticles for three different composites containing 74, 80, and 88wt% of magnetite. These results show that the Fe3O4 nanoparticles are coated with the AA and indicate that there is an interaction between them. Moreover, we have investigated the thermal and magnetic properties of all investigated compounds. We show that bonding of alginic acid to the surface of magnetite results in better thermal stability of the polymer and in higher temperature of AA chains degradation. We find that for dense assembly of magnetite nanoparticles, at low temperatures, the intergranular coupling becomes much stronger than between nanoparticles dispersed in composites.
