Design of Functionalized Fe3O4 Nanoparticles for Elaboration of Nanostructured Films with Magnetic Properties
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 March 2011
Abstract
There is currently a great interest in the preparation of nanostructured magnetic films possessing well-defined structures and controlled properties. Recent progresses in colloidal nanocrystals synthesis and processing have led to new methods for producing films and superstructures made with these materials. Hybrid films have been prepared by organizing functionalized magnetite nanoparticles in large patterns using the Langmuir Blodgett technique. Magnetite nanoparticles with an average particle diameter of 39nm have been prepared and then coated with amphiphilic molecules. The resulting decorated particles, with a hydrophobic outer layer, have proven suitable for being processed by the LB technique. The microstructure and the compacity of the nanoparticle arrays appear to depend on the nature of the organic moiety used to decorate the nanoparticles (carboxylate or phosphonate end-capped stilbene derivatives).
