Abstract:
The combination of polymers with magnetic materials displays novel properties compared to the traditional materials. They open new possibilities for technological applications. Combination of magnetic and elastic properties leads to different phenomena which are exhibited in different magnetic fields [1, 2]. Such composites are quite new and understanding of the behavior of these materials depending on the composition, external conditions, and the synthesis processes is intensively under investigation [3]. The present work analyses the results of SANS and SAXS investigations of magnetite doped elastomers polymerized in magnetic field and without. The magnetic elastomers sample were prepared at the West University of Timisoara, Department of Electricity and Magnetism by embedding in the polymer matrix of a magnetite magnetic liquid produced at the Magnetic Fluid Laboratory of the Romanian Academy Section of Timisoara [4]. The SAXS measurements were performed at the Institute of Macromolecular Chemistry, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Prague. The SANS experiments were realized at GKSS Forschungszentrum, Geesthacht, Germany. The SANS and SAXS experiments performed on investigated materials allowed us to obtain information concerning the presence of aggregates and their changing due to the magnetite doping. The presence of magnetic field during the preparation process influences the ordering of the aggregates. [1] Yu.L.Raikher, O.V.Stolbov, Letter to JTF, .26, Issue 4 (2000) 47 (Rus.) [2] S.
