Abstract

Experiments on preparation of mica/Fe3O4 pearlescent pigment were performed to discuss influences of several crucial parameters on final products. The samples were characterized by XRD, HRSEM, FTIR and color measurement, the content of Fe3O4 on the mica surface was also analyzed by XPS. It was found that the smoothness, compactness and colour deepness of the coating were influenced by different pH values and temperatures. The optimum preparation parameters of mica/Fe3O4 pearlescent pigment were obtained: the value of pH ≥ 9.2; the concentration of sodium hydroxide was 0.5 mol/l; the concentration ratio of Fe3+ to Fe2+ was 1.6 : 1; the velocity of magnetic stirring was 138 ≤ v ≤ 151 r/min; reaction temperature was 70–80°C; calcination temperature was 350°C and calcination time was 3 h.
