Abstract

The magnetic particle material is the crucial part in the field of nondestructive inspection. Nevertheless, traditional magnetic particle still leaves much to be desired. In this research, we designed a simple procedure to synthesize a novel graphene-based ferroferric oxide (Fe3O4) nanocomposite. All characterizations implied that Fe3O4 was anchored on the surface of reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanosheets successfully. Especially this specimen reveals significant magnetic property improvement and macroscopic stability because of the synergistic effect between Fe3O4 and graphene, as compared to the traditional magnetic particle. More importantly, our method optimizes intrinsic magnetization intensity, reduces remanence and sedimentation velocity of magnetic particle material. Thus, this nanocomposite holds great potential for the field of magnetic particle inspection.
