Synthesis and Characterization of Mg0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 coated with Polymer (Polyvinyl Alcohol) Nanocomposites via ultrasound assisted emulsion liquid phase

Nanocomposites of Mg0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 –Polyvinyl alcohol were successfully synthesized using two steps: the nanoparticles of Mg0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 were synthesized via micro-emulsion and then embedded into polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) matrix by ultrasound assisted emulsion liquid phase method. This approach can be solving problems in the dispersion and stabilization of Mg0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles in the PVA matrix. The result showed that the prepared nanoparticles of Mg0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 diffuse homogeneously in a polyvinyl alcohol matrix, maintaining the particle shape and size of the Mg0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles. It was found that the aggregation of Mg0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 nanoparticles could be reduced under ultrasonic irradiation.
