Controlling the size and size distribution of magnetite nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes

Ultrafine Magnetite Nanopowder: Synthesis, Characterization, and Preliminary Use as Filler of Polymethylmethacrylate Nanocomposites

“…Considering that chemical composition and morphology controls for these magnetic nanoparticles appear to be crucial for their applications, a specific interest has been dedicated to control the particle size dispersion [23][24][25][26]. Small sizes and uniform morphology are typically required for the applications of magnetic nanoparticles because of the dependence of magnetic properties on the morphologies of nanoparticles.…”

Microwave-assisted synthesis and magnetic properties of size-controlled CoNi/MWCNT nanocomposites

“…As is well-known, there have been various approaches to deposit monometal magnetic nanoparticles such as Ni [18], Co [19], Fe [20], Fe 2 O 3 [21] and Fe 3 O 4 [22] on the surface of MWCNTs by microwave irradiation heating method, chemical precipitation and deoxidization method, pyrolysis of ferrocene, chemical precipitation, and by using ethylene glycol as reductant, respectively. In these methods, microwave-assisted synthesis has remarkable advantages of short reaction time, small particle size, narrow particle size distribution, high purity of the products and eco-friendly.…”

Synthesis and characterization of MWCNTs/Co1−Zn Fe2O4 magnetic nanocomposites and their use in hydrogels

“…Shi et al [25] synthesized Fe 3 O 4 /CNTs nanocomposites using ethylene glycol as a reductant under 160 • C. After annealing treatment at different temperatures, the average particle size of Fe 3 O 4 was increased with increasing temperature and their size distribution was wider at a higher temperature.
