Abstract
NiFe2O4/PANI nano-composite with different polyaniline (PANI) content (25%, 50% and 75%) is synthesized. The NiFe2O4 (NF) is prepared by the flash auto combustion method and annealed at 400 °C for 2 h. The PANI is prepared by oxidative polymerization of aniline. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique confirmed that the NiFe2O4 particles are successfully dispersed in the PANI matrix with single phase structure. The characteristic absorption bands are observed from infrared (IR) spectra for the pure NF, pure PANI and their nano-composite. The dielectric constant (\({\varepsilon }^{^{\prime}})\) behavior of NF/PANI nano-composite at higher PANI content tends to be a polymer behavior. The Curie temperature decreased by increasing the PANI content and it is attributed to the basis of A-B exchange interaction due to the variation of \({Fe}^{3+}\) content among the octahedral and tetrahedral sites. The values of the saturation magnetization (Ms), remanence magnetization (Mr), coercivity (Hc), area and squareness (Mr/Ms) are measured by using a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM).
