Abstract
Hypothesis: In recent years, much attention has been paid to the use of BaFe12O19 barium ferrite magnetic material in the manufacture of polymer composite magnets. Hence, nitrile butadiene rubber-polyvinyl chloride (NBR-PVC) polymer composite magnets containing barium ferrite alloy powder BaFe12O19 with particles less than 5 microns were made with optimal properties
Methods: The effect of different amounts of barium ferrite magnetic powder in the polymer substrate on the magnetic, morphological and mechanical properties of barium ferrite polymer magnets was investigated using SEM images and VSM diagrams and tensile test.
Findings: NBR-PVC/ BaFe12O19 composite magnets containing 70 %wt NBR and 30 %wt PVC with 100 units of base rubber (phr) including 2 units of sulfur as baking agent, 4 units of zinc oxide as activator, 3 units of stearic acid as lubricant, 2 units of tetramethyl thioram disulfide (TMTD) and 2 units of mercapto-benzythiazyl disulfide (MBTS) as accelerator and barium ferrite powder BaFe12O19 were fabricated with a particle size of less than 5 microns and a combination of different percentages as a magnetic agent. Among the samples made, N-P/F80 composite magnets with a ratio of 20:80 (powder:polymer) had the highest saturation magnetism of Ms and the residual magnetization of Mr and the lowest intrinsic coercivity of Hc. As expected, the best sample in terms of tensile strength was N-P/F20 with a powder:polymer ratio of 80:20, and finally, according to all the results related to the magnetic, morphological and mechanical properties of the samples, the most suitable one in terms of good particle dispersion in the polymer substrate and suitable tensile strength and appropriate magnetic properties of N-P/F50 with 50:50 (powder:polymer) ratio was selected.
