Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Nanotechnology
  • Polymer Science

Background:

  • Core-shell magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) are of increasing interest for various applications.
  • Achieving uniform MNP distribution in polymers is challenging due to aggregation.
  • Supporting MNPs on nonmagnetic core-shell structures is a known strategy to mitigate aggregation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop magnetically active polypropylene (PP) nanocomposites using melt mixing.
  • To investigate the effect of thermal reduction temperature of graphene oxide (GO) on MNP support.
  • To characterize the structural, thermal, and magnetic properties of the resulting nanocomposites.

Main Methods:

  • Thermal reduction of graphene oxide (GO) at 600 °C and 1000 °C.
  • Dispersion of cobalt (Co) or nickel (Ni) nanoparticles onto thermally reduced graphene oxide (TrGO).
  • Characterization using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, AAS, FT-IR, SEM, TGA, DSC, and water contact angle measurements.

Main Results:

  • Metallic nanoparticles (Ni: 3.59 nm, Co: 4.25 nm) were successfully dispersed on TrGO.
  • TrGO supports 9-12 wt% metallic nanoparticles, with reduction temperature having minimal impact.
  • PP nanocomposites exhibited enhanced thermal stability (T_onset +34 °C, T_max +19 °C), improved crystallinity, and a transition from diamagnetic to ferromagnetic behavior.

Conclusions:

  • Melt mixing of TrGO-supported metallic nanoparticles is an effective method for creating magnetically active PP nanocomposites.
  • The nanocomposites show improved thermal and mechanical properties, along with ferromagnetic characteristics.
  • This approach offers a viable route for developing advanced functional polymer materials.
