Abstract

The synthesis of magnetite nanoparticles (MNP) using waste iron tailing as one of the starting materials and its use in preparation of MNP/polyurethane (MNP/PU) nanocomposites with bio-based PU were described. A comparison of XRD patterns, FT-IR and UV–vis diffuse reflectance spectra of neat MNP, neat PU and MNP/PU nanocomposites indicated the incorporation of MNP in PU resin. The SEM and TEM micrographs showed nearly uniform dispersion of MNP in MNP/PU nanocomposites. Both thermal stability and electrical conductivity of MNP/PU nanocomposites were increased with increase of MNP loading while MNP addition significantly improved the tensile properties of PU. The magnetic measurements revealed a transition from superparamagnetic behaviour of neat MNP to ferromagnetic in MNP/PU at lower MNP content. The MNP/PU nanocomposites may be exploited further for electronic and optoelectronic applications.
