Preparation and Magnetic Properties of Nd/FM (FM=Fe, Co, Ni)/PA66 Three-Layer Coaxial Nanocables

Abstract

A new preparation method of three-layer coaxial nanocables has been developed in this work. Nd/FM (FM=Fe, Co, Ni)/PA66 three-layer coaxial nanocables were assembled successfully from outer to inner layer by layer. PA66 nanotubes which served as the outer shell were prepared by polymer solution wetting AAO template. Ferromagnetic metals and Nd were deposited into pre-prepared PA66 nanotubes to be served as the middle layer and inner core, respectively. The results show that the structure has effects on the magnetic properties, and the nanocable preparation allows each layer, length, and thickness of the nanocables to be tuned.
