Paper Abstract
In this study, we compare the characteristics of ferrogels prepared using γ-Fe2O3 and Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The
magnetic nanoparticles with ~ 20 nm diameter were distributed in N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) gel prepared using
N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (BIS), ammonium persulfate (APS) and N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine
(TEMED). Particle distribution and agglomeration characteristics of the prepared ferrogels were investigated using ultra
small angle x-ray scattering (USAXS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The ferrogel samples prepared
using Fe3O4 and γ-Fe2O3 particles have similar particle distribution. The ferrogels, prepared with γ-Fe2O3 nanoparticles,
however, demonstrate significantly different agglomeration characteristics compared to the ferrogels prepared using
Fe3O4. In both systems, the agglomerated particles appear to be spherical, with few of those indicating chain like
structures. Based on the particle concentration and sizes, the DC SQUID magnetometry data of these samples showed
the magnetic moments range between 0.9 to 2.5 emu/g. Details of our results and analysis are presented.
