ResumoTo tailor the interfacial interaction in magnetic metal nanoparticles filled polymer composites, the surfaces of iron, cobalt and nickel nanoparticles were grafted by irradiation polymerization. In the current report, effects of grafting conditions, including irradiation atmosphere, irradiation dose and monomer concentration, on the grafting reaction are presented. The interaction between the nanoparticles and the grafted polymer was studied by thermal analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry. It was found that there is a strong interfacial interaction in the form of electrostatic bonding in the polymer-grafted nanoparticles. The dispersibility of the modified nanoparticles in chloroform was significantly improved due to the increased hydrophobicity.
