采用一种简单又经济的方法将Fe3O4纳米颗粒填充到碳纳米管中。透射电镜(TEM)、扫描电镜(SEM)及其能谱附件(EDX)和X射线多晶衍射(XRD)测试结果表明:Fe3O4纳米颗粒成功地填充到碳纳米管中。材料的磁性能测试结果表明:碳纳米管中填充Fe3O4纳米颗粒后,在常温下具有超顺磁性,其饱和磁化强度由0.35emu/g增大到了13.15emu/g。Fe3O4纳米颗粒填充的碳纳米管可望应用于工程和医学领域。
Carbon nanotubes filled with magnetic materials are very interesting as new materials for applications in biomedicine. A simple and efficient method was developed to encapsulate Fe3 O4 nanoparticles in multiwalled carbon nano- tubes (MWCNTs). Transmission and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray analysis, and X-ray pow- der diffraction measurements confirmed that the Fe3 O4 nanoparticles are encapsulated in the MWCNTs. The magnetic properties of the MWCNTs and the Fe3 04-filled MWCNTs were measured using a vibrating sample magnetometer. Re- sults showed that the Fe3 O4-filled MWCNTs exhibited superparamagnetism at room temperature and possessed a higher saturation magnetization (Ms) (around 13.15 emu/g) than that of the unfilled ones (around 0.35 emu/g). The MWC- NTs encapsulating Fe3 04 nanoparticles have potential applications in engineering and medicine.
