Investigation of Fe2O3/SiO2 Nanocomposite by FESEM and TEM

Abstract: Superparamagnetic maghemite nanoparticles were synthesized using Massart’s procedure. Nanocomposites that consist of the synthesized maghemite nanoparticles and silica were produced by dispersing the as-synthesized maghemite nanoparticles into the silica xerogel prepared by sol-gel technique. The system was then heated for 3 days at 140°C. The structure, morphology, and texture of the system were analysed by FESEM and TEM. The result from FESEM showed that the silica gel forms a network structure, which contai… Show more

“…Overall, the metal species (Mg, Cu, Mn, Mg, Ni) were found in trace amounts (1.7–7.7%) in which the percentages were lower than the theoretical, which might due to the metal species being embedded within the MWCNTs and not fully dispersed on the MWCNT surface. 34 …”

“…It can also be seen in Figure 6 that the rFe2O3 nanoparticles are aggregated and spherical, which may be attributed to the long-range magnetic dipole-dipole interaction between the particles. This observation may also be caused by the drying process during TEM sample preparation [36]. The rFe2O3 nanoparticles sizes were within the range 7.4-15.24 nm after 6 h of ball milling with an average particle size of 11.3 nm.…”

“…Neem sawdust [12] is one of the fibre used which is collected from the timber mill when the neem logs are cutting down, that collected sawdust is not having some size and shape it is just a particle mixing all the parts of the tree except leaves. These particles are sent to a mixture machine to get a fine powder.…”
