Structure and Properties of Fe3O4/Polystyrene Nanocomposites†

doi:10.7503/cjcu20140646

Abstract

Abstract:

Oleic acid modified Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles(OA-Fe₃O₄) with uniform particle size were blended with polystyrene(PS) by solution-mixing/evaporation drying method. The resultant PS/Fe₃O₄ nanocomposites exhibited superparamagnetic property. It was found that OA-Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles were well dispersed in PS matrix, when the content of OA-Fe₃O₄ was 1%—10%(mass fraction). Differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) analysis showed that the glass transition temperature(T_g) of PS nanocomposites decreased with the increase of the amount of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles. According to the results from thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA), the presence of OA-Fe₃O₄ would significantly enhance the thermal stability of PS under air condition. Rheological analysis showed that the melt viscosity of PS nanocomposites decreased with the increase of the amount of nanoparticles(0—10%). Furthermore, we also found that the viscosity reduction took place in the PS with bimodal distribution after adding OA-Fe₃O₄, when the average molecular weight of PS was higher than critical entanglement molecular weight of PS and the radius of nanoparticles was smaller than PS’s mean-square radius of gyration.
