| Summary: | Controlled
development of novel materials fosters innovation in the electrical sector. The
hybrid materials based on magnetic nanocellulose are intriguing since they have
many uses in electronics, catalysis, medicine, and ecology. The study
investigated the structure and morphology of hybrid nanomaterials made from
nanocellulose and cobalt ferrite. The nanocellulose was prepared by
TEMPO-oxidation and the cobalt ferrite was prepared by sol-gel auto-combustion
method. Using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy
(FTIR) techniques, it was determined how nanocellulose loading affected the
crystal structure of the synthesized composite. To ascertain the variation in
the component concentrations, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and
energy-dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) are used. Composite with a higher
concentration of nanocellulose fibers (NCF) show lesser particle size, and this
may account for the smaller size of nanocellulose fibers, and attachment of
nanocellulose nanofibers over the surface of porous cobalt ferrite (CF) found in
SEM images. |
