In this study, we describe a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-walled nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe₃O₄|Fe2O3|FeO). The synthesis process involves a two-step approach, first immobilizing SWCNTs onto a suitable substrate and then incorporating Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles via a coprecipitation method. The resulting SWCNT-Fe₃O₄ nanocomposites were extensively characterized using a variety of techniques, encompassing transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). TEM images revealed the homogeneous dispersion of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles on the SWCNT surface. XRD analysis confirmed the polycrystalline nature of the Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles, while VSM measurements demonstrated their ferromagnetic behavior. These findings suggest that the synthesized SWCNT-Fe₃O₄ nanocomposites possess promising potential for various uses in fields such as environmental remediation.

Effect of Functionalization on the Magnetic Properties of Fe₃O₄ Nanoparticles Dispersed in SWCNT Matrix

The physical properties of Fe₃O₄ nanoparticles dispersed within a single-walled carbon nanotube scaffold can be significantly altered by the introduction of functional groups. This tailoring can strengthen nanoparticle distribution within the SWCNT framework, thereby affecting their overall magnetic characteristics.

For example, hydrophilic functional groups can promote water-based dispersion of the nanoparticles, leading to a more uniform distribution within the SWCNT matrix. Conversely, alkyl functional groups can limit nanoparticle dispersion, potentially resulting in assembly. Furthermore, the type and number of functional groups attached to the nanoparticles can directly influence their magnetic susceptibility, leading to changes in their coercivity, remanence, and saturation magnetization.
