Abstract

Polypropylene(PP)/Fe2O3 nanocomposites are fabricated using an in-situ method to uniformly disperse the magnetic nanoparticles (NPs) in polymer matrix. Maleic anhydride functionalized PP (f-PP) with different molecular weight is used as surfactant to stabilize the in-situ produced nanoparticles. The thermal behavior of PP and its nanocomposites with the incorporation of small amount f-PP is studied with thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA). The results show that the onset degradation temperature is increased by ~117 oC with the addition of NPs. Both melt rheology and transmission electron microscopy are used to investigate the NPs dispersion. Strong saturated magnetization (Ms) is observed after introducing f-PP to the nanocomposites through protecting the as-formed NPs from oxidation.
