Nanocomposites of PAn-DBSA/γ-Fe 2O 3 with electrical and ferromagnetic behavior(σ= 2.18×10 -3-5.00×10 -5 S/cm, M s=3.7-16.6 m 2·A/kg, H c=8 805.2-9 133.1 A/m) were prepared by a chemical modification-...Nanocomposites of PAn-DBSA/γ-Fe 2O 3 with electrical and ferromagnetic behavior(σ= 2.18×10 -3-5.00×10 -5 S/cm, M s=3.7-16.6 m 2·A/kg, H c=8 805.2-9 133.1 A/m) were prepared by a chemical modification-redoping method in a neutral medium. The products were characterized by TEM, XRD, UV-Vis, four-probe method, and magnetometer. The results indicate that the electrical and magnetic properties of the nanocomposites strongly depend on γ-Fe 2O 3 content. With the increase of γ-Fe 2O 3 content, the electrical conductivity is decreased and saturation magnetization is increased.展开更多
