Abstract:

The citric acid-coated zinc-doped nano?ferroferric oxide(Zn0.2Fe2.8O4,ZFO)nanoparticles with good dispersibility in water were prepared by a chemical coprecipitation method and then characterized by X-ray diffractometer, transmission electron microscope and comprehensive physical property tester. The results indicated that the nanoparticles presented a relatively uniform distribution with a particle size of 3~8 nm as well as saturation magnetization up to 60 emu/g. A new type of PVA/PAAS/ZFO interpenetrating network hydrogels were prepared through the initiates polymerization of sodium acrylate by crosslinking in the aqueous phase, followed by freezing and thawing cross-linking. It was found that the introduction of nano-ZFO particles increased the tensile strength of the hydrogels by about 1.5 times and also improved their thermal stability. Moreover, the addition of nano-ZFO particles accelerated the electrical response rate and strength of hydrogels.

Key words: sodium polyacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, zinc-doped nano-ferroferric oxide, electrical response
