Zusammenfassung: | Iron composite materials based on styrene/divinylbenzene network hosts were produced using aqueous suspension polymerization. The effects of different kinds of porogen agent, toluene, toluene/
n-heptane mixture or a toluene solution of polyphenyleneoxide on the bulk density, swelling in toluene and ferromagnetic properties of these materials were evaluated. The specific area and average porous diameter of network resins were characterized by BET and BJH methods, while the iron content was determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The morphology of the composites was studied by both optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis. All the spherical beads, irrespective of their sizes, have agglomerated iron particles located only on their surface. The particles have exhibited ferromagnetic behavior, with a coercivity of 328.69 Oe. The porogen agents used affect the iron particle distribution on the bead surfaces. |
