Usage

General Description

Iron stearate is a metallic soap that is derived from the reaction of stearic acid with iron salts. It is commonly used as a stabilizer and a lubricant in various industrial applications, such as the production of plastics, rubber, and textiles. Iron stearate is also utilized as a catalyst in the production of resins and as a pigment in the manufacturing of inks and paints. Additionally, it is added to animal feed as a source of iron. Due to its low toxicity and stability, iron stearate is considered safe for use in these applications and is generally recognized as a versatile and effective industrial chemical.

Room Temperature Blocked Magnetic Nanoparticles Based on Ferrite Promoted by a Three-Step Thermal Decomposition Process

Exchange coupled nanoparticles that combine hard and soft magnetic phases are very promising to enhance the effective magnetic anisotropy while preserving sizes below 20 nm. However, the core-shell structure is usually insufficient to produce rare earth-free ferro(i)magnetic blocked nanoparticles at room temperature. We report on onion-type magnetic nanoparticles prepared by a three-step seed mediated growth based on the thermal decomposition method. The core@shell@shell structure consists of a core and an external shell of Fe3-?O4 separated by an intermediate Co-doped ferrite shell. The double exchange coupling at both core@shell and shell@shell interfaces results in such an increased of the magnetic anisotropy energy, that onion-type nanoparticles of 16 nm mainly based on iron oxide are blocked at room temperature. We envision that these results are very appealing for potential applications based on permanent magnets.
