Abstract
In this study, magnetic nanobiocomposites were prepared in different
proportions and produced with galactomannan (GM), magnetic nanoparticles
of NiZn and glycerol (GL). The microstructure and morphology of the
samples were characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray
powder diffraction, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy,
Thermal analysis (TG) and Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The
magnetic and dielectric behavior of the films was studied by Vibrating
sample magnetometer (VSM) and Impedance spectroscopy. The results showed
efficient incorporation of NiZn in the polymer matrix. The degradation
profiles presented thermal events that were confirmed by endothermic and
exothermic processes from DSC measurements. Films presented saturation
magnetization (M-s) range from 6 to 17 emu/g and superparamagnetic
behavior. It was observed that the values of dielectric constant
increased as a function of the nanoparticles concentration in the
bionacomposite. Thus, this kind of biocomposite could be used as a
versatile magnetic-dielectric in microwave devices. (C) 2015 Elsevier
