Abstract:
Fe
3O
4 nanoparticles were prepared by a precipitation method. The Fe
3O
4 nanoparticles were dealt with ethanol to form an organic surface. Then polypyrrole composite was polymerized by the emulsion polymerization method in the presence of these Fe
3O
4 nanoparticles. The structural characterization by TEM, XPS, and AAS proved that the dispersion of Fe
3O
4 nanoparticles dealt with alcohol was better than that of naked ones. Fe
3O
4 nanoparticles were entrapped or encapsulated in the PPy chain. The thickness of the PPy layer was about 10 nm. The Fe
3O
4 / PPy composites showed electrical and ferromagnetic property( e= 7. 69 s/ cm~13. 6 s/ cm, M
s= 12. 06 emu/ g~24. 38 emu/ g, H
c= 11 Oe~41 Oe) . The environmental stability of composites was better than that of PPy.
