Özet

Polymer-based composite materials have attracted significant attention in recent years due to their low

density, ease of processing, and adjustable multifunctional properties. In this study, magnetic functional

polymer nanocomposites were successfully produced by adding nanoparticles to a polymer mixture.

Comprehensive characterization was performed using TGA, DSC, FTIR, XRD, SEM, and PPMS

techniques to systematically evaluate the thermal, structural, morphological, and magnetic properties of

the developed materials.

Thermogravimetric analysis showed that thermal stability improved significantly after the addition of

nanoparticles, as evidenced by an increase in the onset decomposition temperatures and an increase in

the residual mass values. Differential scanning calorimetry results revealed filler-dependent changes in

melting temperature and crystallization behavior, particularly at high filler content (40 wt%), indicating

a strong effect on polymer chain mobility and crystalline organization. FTIR spectra confirmed that no

new covalent bonds formed between the nanoparticles and the polymer matrix, while indicating the

presence of intermolecular interactions, most likely hydrogen bonds. XRD analyses revealed that the

semi-crystalline polymer matrix was preserved as the dominant phase, while the characteristic crystal

peaks of iron oxides were significantly suppressed due to nanoscopic distribution and homogeneous

dispersion. SEM observations showed that nanoparticles were relatively homogeneously distributed at

low filler ratios.

In conclusion, the addition of nanoparticles to the polymer matrix effectively adapts the multifunctional

performance of PCL–PVA nanocomposites, and these materials have been determined to hold strong

potential for advanced applications such as sensing, actuation, biomedical engineering, and magnetic

separation technologies.
