Abstract:
Fine (approximately 18 nm) particles of nickel ferrite were
synthesized by the sol-gel technique, and their structural properties
were evaluated by X-ray diffraction. Neoprene-based rubber ferrite
composites were prepared by incorporating these nickel ferrite powders
in the rubber matrix according to a specific recipe. The cure
characteristics were analyzed, and the samples were molded into
particular shapes whose properties were determined according to
ASTM standards. Magnetization studies were carried out using a
Vibrating Sample Magnetometer. This study indicates that neoprene
rubber-based flexible magnets with desired magnetic properties
and appropriate mechanical properties can be prepared by
incorporating an adequate amount of nanoscale nickel ferrite particles
within the rubber matrix
