    Magnetically activated 3D printable polylactic acid/polycaprolactone/magnetite composites for magnetic induction heating generation
    (Springer, 2023) Galarreta Rodríguez, Itziar; López Ortega, Alberto; Garayo Urabayen, Eneko; Beato López, Juan Jesús; La Roca, Paulo Matías; Sánchez-Alarcos Gómez, Vicente; Recarte Callado, Vicente; Gómez Polo, Cristina; Pérez de Landazábal Berganzo, José Ignacio; Ciencias; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    Additive manufacturing technology has attracted the attention of industrial and technological sectors due to the versatility of the design and the easy manufacture of structural and functional elements based on composite materials. The embedding of magnetic nanoparticles in the polymeric matrix enables the development of an easy manufacturing process of low-cost magnetically active novel polymeric composites. In this work, we report a series of magnetic composites prepared by solution casting method combining 5 to 60 wt.% of 140 ± 50 nm commercial Fe3O4 nanoparticles, with a semi-crystalline, biocompatible, and biodegradable polymeric blend made of polylactic acid (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL). The composites were extruded, obtaining 1.5 ± 0.2 mm diameter continuous and flexible filaments for fused deposition modelling 3D printing. The chemical, magnetic, and calorimetric properties of the obtained filaments were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, thermogravimetric analysis, magnetometry, and scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, taking advantage of the magnetic character of the filaments, their capability to generate heat under the application of low-frequency alternating magnetic fields (magnetic induction heating) was analyzed. The obtained results expose the versatility of these easy manufacturing and low-cost filaments, where selecting a desired composition, the heating capacity can be properly adjusted for those applications where magnetic induction plays a key role (i.e., magnetic hyperthermia, drug release, heterogeneous catalysis, water electrolysis, gas capture, or materials synthesis).

    Fe-C nanoparticles obtained from thermal decomposition employing sugars as reducing agents
    (Elsevier, 2020) Cervera Gabalda, Laura María; Pérez de Landazábal Berganzo, José Ignacio; Garayo Urabayen, Eneko; Monteserín, María; Larumbe Abuin, Silvia; Martín, F.; Gómez Polo, Cristina; Zientziak; Institute for Advanced Materials and Mathematics - INAMAT2; Ciencias; Gobierno de Navarra / Nafarroako Gobernua; Universidad Pública de Navarra / Nafarroako Unibertsitate Publikoa
    The aim of the work is to present a comparative analysis (structural and magnetic) of Fe-C nanocomposites obtained by the thermal decomposition of sugars (fructose, glucose and sucrose) employing FeCl3 as Fe3+ precursor. The thermal decomposition was followed through Thermogravimetry (TGA) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffraction, High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM) and Raman spectroscopy. The results indicate the reduction of Fe3+ under the performed thermal treatments and the achievement at high annealing temperatures of Fe-C nanostructures (coexistence of α-Fe and Fe3C nanoparticles surrounded by a carbon matrix). The magnetic characterization performed by dc SQUID magnetometry, shows an antiferromagnetic response in the initial stages of the decomposition process, and a ferromagnetic behavior linked to the Fe-based nanoparticles. The magnetic induction heating was analyzed through the ac hysteresis loops. Moderate Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is obtained in Fe-C nanoparticles (~ 70 W/gFe), ascribed to the large nanoparticle size. The combination of porous carbon structure and ferromagnetic response of the Fe-C nanoparticles (i.e. local temperature increase under ac magnetic field) enlarge the emerging applications of these carbonaceous nanocomposites.
