- Description
- Magnetic nanocomposites composed of superparamagnetic magnetite nanoparticles in a pectin matrix were synthesized by anin situ coprecipitation method. The pectin matrix acted as a stabilizer and size control host for the magnetite nanoparticles(MNPs) ensuring particle size homogeneity. The effects of the different reactant ratios and nanocomposite drying conditions onthe magnetic properties were investigated. The nanocomposites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), Fourier-transforminfrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer (SQUID). Superparamagneticmagnetite nanoparticles with mean diameters of 9 and 13 nm were obtained, and the freeze-dried nanocomposites had a saturationmagnetization of 54 and 53 emu/g, respectivel
