ABSTRACTWe report a simple synthesis technique to attached poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) on magnetic nanoparticles. Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were prepared using co-precipitation method. Nearly monodisperse nanoparticles were separated by terminating surface of Fe3O4 with dopamine followed by careful centrifugation and decantation. NHS/EDC coupling chemistry was employed to attached the carboxylic acid terminated poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) to amine end of dopamine on surface of the magnetic particles. Analysis of the polymer brush layers was conducted using UV-Vis spectroscopy, ATR−FTIR, and Transmission electron microscopy techniques. The magnetic property was investigated using direct current superconducting quantum interference device (DC-SQUID) method.

This study investigated the applicability of magnetite Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with chitosan (CMNs) for the removal of some toxic heavy metals from simulated wastewater. Magnetic nanomaterials were synthesized using the co-precipitation method and characterized by transmission electron microscope, scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transformer infrared spectroscopy. The magnetic properties of the prepared magnetic nanoparticles were determined by a vibrating-sample magnetometer. Batch experiments were carried out to determine the adsorption kinetics of Cr(VI) and Cd(II) by magnetic nanoparticles. It is noteworthy that CMNs show a highly efficient adsorption capacity for low concentration Cr(VI) and Cd(II) ions solution, which can reach 98% within 10 min.

We synthesized magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) by mixing aqueous solutions of 3d transition metal chlorides (MCl2·nH2O) and a sodium metasilicate nonahydrate (Na2SiO3·9H2O) in order to produce monodispersed MNPs in a single step. The particle size can be controlled by adjusting the annealing temperature. We characterized the MNPs by X-ray diffraction (XRD), superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and zeta-potential measurement. Paramagnetic and superparamagnetic behaviors were found for the obtained samples depending on the particle size (d=3.0–4.6 nm). The synthesized MNPs could be modified with the amino-, phenyl-, and carboxy- groups on MNPs' surface by silanization procedure, respectively. The purpose of functionalizing the surface of the nanoscale magnetic particles was to realize subsequent capture and detection with desired other molecules by nanoparticle assisted laser ionization/desorption mass spectrometry.

Nanoparticles of Zn1-xFexS ( x=0.0,0.1,0.2 and 0.3) were prepared by chemical co-precipitation method from homogenous solution of zinc and ferum salt at room temperature with controlled parameter. These nanoparticles were sterically stabilized using Sodium Hexamethaphospate (SHMP). Here, a study of the effect of Fe doping on structure, morphological and optical properties of nanoparticles was undertaken. Elemental analysis, morphological and optical properties have been investigated by Fourier-Transform-Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), Field Emmision Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and UV-Visible Spectroscopy. FTIR measurement confirmed the presence of SHMP in the nanoparticles structure with the FESEM images depicting considerable less agglomeration of particles with the presence of SHMP. While XRF results confirm the presence of Fe2+ ion as prepared in the experiment. The particles sizes of the nanoparticles lay in the range of 2-10 nm obtained from the TEM image were in agreement with the XRD results. The absorption edge shifted to lower wavelengths with an increase in Fe concentration shown in the UV-Vis spectroscopy. The band gap energy value was in the range of 4.95 5.15 eV. The blueshift is attributed to the quantum confinement effect.

One of the important characteristics of magnetic materials is the measurement of magnetic characteristics through Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID) especially magnetization temperature dependence M(T)ZFC and MTFC measurement. In this work, we reported magnetization temperature dependence measurements of magnetite nanoparticles without SiO2 encapsulation (Fe3O4) and magnetite nanoparticles with SiO2 encapsulation (Fe3O4.SiO2) at the application of magnetic fields of 100 Oe. The nanoparticles magnetite was synthesized by co-precipitation method. It was calculated that the blocking temperature of magnetite nanoparticles Fe3O4 without and with SiO2 encapsulation is 118.38 K and 209.03 K, respectively. The blocking temperatures of magnetic nanoparticles increase by SiO2 encapsulation.

Surface β-cyclodextrin polymer coated Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by anchoring pyromellitic dianhydride derivate-b-cyclodextrin polymer (b-CD-P) onto the surface of Fe3O4 magnetic NPs, which is generated in situ through a co-precipitation method. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) result indicates that Fe3O4@β-CD-P NPs have an effective average size of 15 ± 2 nm. The surface coated layer β-CD-P was confirmed by Fourier-Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy, and the amount of which was determined to be 138.2 mg g-1 by thermogravimetric analysis. To explore the potential application of such nanocomposites for organic pollutants adsorption, malachite green (MG), a typical cancer-causing water pollutant was evaluated by spectrophotometric method. It was finally learnt that, the adsorption rate of MG by Fe3O4@β-CD-P NPs follows pseudo-second-order kinetics with adsorption isotherm fitted by the Langmuir isotherm model well. The maximum adsorption capacity was measured to be 88.49 mg g-1 at 25 °C. Additionally, a good recyclability of the Fe3O4@β-CD-P was observed over four usage cycles, with slight decrease of adsorption capability.

In this paper, the oil-based magnetic fluid was prepared by chemical co-precipitation method and sodium oleate was the surfactant. The effect of different pH on the characterization of magnetic fluid was studied. The characterization was detected by Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) and Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM). The results show that the nanoparticles were coated successfully by sodium oleate at pH=5. And the saturation magnetization of Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles is 58.0 emu/g, the saturation magnetization of magnetic fluid prepared is 20.2 emu/g, and the Fe3O4 particles are dispersed well. Although the Fe3O4 magnetic particles coated by sodium oleate at pH = 10.5 has a higher saturation magnetization (67.8 emu/g), but the magnetic fluid is less stable and has an obvious settlement phenomenon.

Two series of Co/Co-oxide nanostructures have been synthesized by the co-precipitation method followed by different reduction and oxidation processes in an attempt to optimize their exchange bias (EB) properties. The samples are characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy, and SQUID (superconducting quantum interference device) magnetometry. The two series differ with respect to their average Co core grain sizes: in one (the l-series), the size is ≈100 nm, and in the other (the s-series, obtained using lower synthesis temperatures than the l-series), it is ≈10 nm. In the l-series, progressive oxidation yields an increase in the EB field together with a reduction in Co core size. In contrast, progressive oxidation in the s-series results in growth of the Co-oxide fraction at the expense of the Co core upon oxidation, which is accompanied by a decrease in the EB effect that is attributed to an ordering of the ferromagnetic–antiferromagnetic interface and therefore a reduction of uncompensated spins density. These results illustrate how the interface details become relevant only for small enough ferromagnetic cores.

Single crystalline nano-sized multiferroic BiFeO3 (BFO) powders were synthesized through simple chemical co-precipitation method using polyethylene glycol (PEG) as capping agent. We obtained pure phase BiFeO3 powder by controlling pHand calcination temperature. From X-ray diffraction studies the nanoparticles were unambiguously identified to have a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure belonging to the space group of R3c. No secondary phases were detected. It indicates single phase structure. EDX spectra indicated the appearance of three elements Bi, Fe, O in 1:1:3. From the UV-Vis diffuse reflectance spectrum, the absorption cut-off wavelength of the BFO sample is around 558nm corresponding to the energy band gap of 2.2 eV. The size (60-70 nm) and morphology of the nanoparticles have been analyzed using transmission electron microscopy (TEM).   Linear M−H behaviour and slight hysteresis at lower magnetic field is observed for BiFeO3 nanoparticles from Vibrating sample magnetometer studies. It indicates weak ferromagnetic behaviour at room temperature. From dielectric studies, the conductivity value is calculated from the relation s = L/RbA Sm-1 and it is around 7.2 x 10-9 S/m.
