Central European Journal of Chemistry

Abstract

We report a one-step hydrothermal synthesis of Fe3O4 nanoparticles coated with Polyethyleneglycol (PEG). The formation of the Fe3O4 core and the polymer coating took place simultaneously. Fe3O4/polyethylene glycol (PEG) magnetic nanocomposite with a core-shell structure with a 17±7 nm crystallite size prepared by simple hydrothermal method. VSM ( Vibrating Sample Magnetometer) analysis proved the superparamagnetic character of the nanocomposite.
