Development of a Polymer Nanocomposite using Natural Oils

By Judes Santos, Luciene Batista, Laffert Gomes

The aim of this work is to synthesize and characterize Magneto-Polymer Nanocomposites based on nanoparticles with superparamagnetic characteristics, coated with a polymer extracted from the natural oils of the Carapa guianensis plant, popularly known as Andiroba. In this work, iron oxide nanoparticles were used, which are synthesized using the coprecipitation method. The polymer is synthesized using the polycondensation method. The nanocomposite is then prepared by dispersing the nanoparticles in the polymer matrix. Different techniques are used to characterize the samples: XRD, MET, SEM, UV-Vis, FTIR, EDX and EF. The techniques indicate that the nanocomposite is well formed.
