Production of Polymer Matrix Nanocomposites (PMNC) Using Various Magnetic Nanoparticles and Investigations of Mechanical and Physical Properties.

In this study, the first magnetic ceramic nanoparticles were produced utilizing the hydrothermal method. The properties of the nanoparticles were studied utilizing a variety of distinct analytical tools, including an X-ray diffraction pattern, a scanning electron microscope, an infrared absorption spectrometer, and a vibration sample magnetometer. Then, the polymer matrix nanocomposite (PMNC) was fabricated using epoxy resin and made into nanoparticles. In the next step, various analyses, such as microhardness, tensile strength, and flame tests, were taken from the PMNC samples, and the results were compared. The results showed that nanoparticles with a fine and uniform structure and high purity are produced and also have magnetic properties. Furthermore, by adding nanoparticles to epoxy resin and improving surface and mechanical properties, flame resistance is also improved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
