Abstract

Magnetic polymer colloids (MPCs) consisting of CoFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) embedded in a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix were synthesized by magnetic miniemulsion polymerization. CoFe2O4 NPs were modified with 3-trimethoxysilylpropylmethacrylate and directly emulsified with different concentrations of sodium dodecyl sulfate under ultrasonication for subsequent miniemulsion polymerization. The average diameter of the CoFe2O4/PMMA spheres (about 200 nm) was controlled by varying the amount of surfactant. Thermogravimetric analysis indicated that the magnetic content was in the range of 44 to 73 %. Magnetic properties of the dispersions were investigated by measuring equilibrium magnetization curves and the dynamic magnetic susceptibility as a function of frequency. The MPCs were found to follow the Debye model for the dynamic magnetic susceptibility, with a characteristic time given by the rotational hydrodynamic resistance and thermal energy through the Stokes-Einstein relation. This demonstrates that the MPCs respond to applied magnetic fields by rotating. Due to their uniform size and high magnetic loading, these colloids may be suitable in a variety of applications, including nanoscale mechanical probes and actuators in complex fluids and biological systems.
