Abstract

Iron oxide nanoparticles (IONP) have been used as a magnetic base for polymeric composites. However, the magnetic properties of IONP are not fully exploited due to the difficulties to obtain a good dispersion and high stablity within the polymeric matrix. The objective of this study is to improve the stability, dispersive ability and separability of IONP by fatty acid coating. Fatty acid coated iron oxide nanoparticle (C-IONP) has been selected due to its hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity characteristics and consequently useful to be incorporated with nitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) as a polymeric compound model. The facile precipitation method has been used to synthesize C-IONP with good polydispersity of iron oxide nanoparticle (IONP) and high compatibility with polar and non polar medium was addressed. Iron (II) sulphate heptahydrate and ammonium hydroxide were selected as precursors to synthesize IONP at 60 °C at 1.5 h aging time and subsequently coated with series of fatty acids (oleic, capric, myristic, palmitic and stearic acids). It is observed that, oleic acid C-IONP has excellent compatibility in water and NBR latex medium, with small hydrodynamic size and narrow particle size distribution. This is due the existence of double bond in oleic acid backbone chain. The magnetization saturation of oleic acid C-IONP was 54.53 emu/g hence it can be incorporated to NBR latex. This therefore demonstrated that, highly magnetic polymeric composite could be produced with good and homogeneously dispersed and stable IONP. © 2020 Elsevier B.V.
