Fe-containing nanocomposites based on a biocompatible copolymer 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole with N -vinylpyrrolidone
2017
New polymer nanocomposites containing iron oxide nanoparticles stabilized with a biocompatible copolymer of 1-vinyl-1,2,4-triazole with N-vinylpyrrolidone were produced. The synthesis was conducted using the method of chemical reduction of iron ions with hydrazine hydrate in an aqueous medium in the presence of a polymer matrix. The ESR spectroscopy data showed that the core—shell type nanoparticles were obtained. The core generally consistsed of zero-valence iron coated with an oxide shell. According to the data of transmission electron microscopy, the obtained polymer nanocomposites consisted of nanoparticles of mainly spherical shape with a diameter from 1 to 14 nm. Aggregates formed from individual stabilized nanoparticles of up to 75 nm in size (in most cases) were also observed. These aggregated particles were found to self-organize and form branched chains. Nanocomposites were characterized by a different particle-size distribution, which was determined by the initial ratio of the copolymer and the precursor of iron nanoparticles.
