Magnetic Polymer-Ferrite Nanocomposites: Structure, Physical and Mechanical Properties

Abstract

This research is devoted to the investigation of the ferrite modified polymer matrix nanocomposites. Auto-combustion route has been utilized for the manufacturing of the ferrite nanoparticles. The effect of initial chemical composition and most important processing parameters on the fineness of the ferrite nanopowder have been cleared out. Obtained ferrite nanoparticles have been introduced in a polycarbonate matrix by melt mixing. Most important technological parameters of the melt processing have been defined. Certain stress-strain, calorimetric and structural properties of the polycarbonate/ferrite nanocomposites has been investigated
