Abstract:

In this paper, first, cellulose/magnetic nano-composite fibers were prepared via in-situ compounding, with spruce fibers as the raw material. Next, the products were characterized by means of XRD, FFIR, SEM and AFM, finding that magnetic particles are compounded mainly on spruce fiber surface and but very little in fiber lumen, with their crystalline form of γ-Fe2O3 and with a diameter of 20 -100nm. Then, the magnetic characteristics of the products were measured by SQUID, showing that the prepared magnetic nano-composite fibers are both super- paramagnetic and ferromagnetic, with a saturation magnetization of 14. 7 emu/g (fiber). Finally, the magnetic nano-composite fibers were added in a papermaking system in different ways, and a kind of multi-layer composite magnetic paper with orientationally-distributed nano-composite fibers was prepared. As compared with the paper made completely from magnetic fibers, the prepared composite paper is of higher whiteness and strength as well as better magnetic characteristics.
