Abstract

Polyamide 6 (PA6) magnetic microspheres were firstly prepared via successively in situ polymerization using phase inversion technology of polymer pairs polyamide 6/polystyrene (PA6/PS) at extremely low PS content. The properties of PA6 magnetic microspheres, such as morphologies, diameter size distribution, magnetic properties, thermal stability, and the functional groups of the magnetic microspheres, were investigated by different techniques (i.e. SEM, TEM, DLS, VSM, FTIR, and DSC). The results indicated that the diameter distribution of PA6 magnetic microspheres was narrow, and the mean diameter size was about 7.7 μm. The saturation magnetization of magnetic microspheres reached 12.50 emu/g. Furthermore, the magnetic microspheres had abundant functional groups and better thermal stability.
