摘要
The uniform mesoporous SBA-15 consisting of SiO2 with long-range channels Offers an excellent host material to synthesize or assemble the magnetic nanocomposites, such as Fe, Ni. In this paper, highly dispersed and uniform iron nanoparticles were incorporated into the pore channels of SBA-15 through a newly developed strategy in which some kinds of coupling agents were used to entrap the nanoparticles into the silica framework. The X-ray diffraction （XRD）, fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, high-resolution transmission electronic microscopy （HRTEM） and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy （EDX） were performed to further identify the successful incorporation and grafting of iron. Compared with other ordinary non-assembled magnetic nanoparticles, the assembled Fe nanoparticles with the diameter even in the size range of 5～6 nm still have better magnetic properties.
