Fe3O4를 함유한 Hydrogel의 물리적 특성
Physical Properties of the Hydrogel with Magnetite
Electromagnetic active hydrogel can be considered, as one of the intelligent materials. We have studied the kinetics of the movement of electromagnetic gel. In this study, to improve electromagnetic sensitivity the poly acrylic acid hydrogel was added to magnetite. The actuation mechanism is based on magnetite diffusion, its speed tend to be some slow. Magnetite nanoparticles were prepared from FeCl2 and FeCl3 in distilled water. The powder diffractograms for Fe3O4 were measured by X-ray diffractometer (XRD). Particle size of magnetite nanoparticles was measured by Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The mechanical properties of each hydrogel with magnetite were measured by texture analyzer in wet state. The resulting mechanical properties of hydrogel an amount of magnetite was increased.
