Development of magneto-polymer nanoemulsions based on the amazon oil of carapa guianensis aubl

The present study aimed to synthesize and characterize a nanostructured complex based on nano emulsions from polymers extracted from Carapa Guianensis Aubl. essential oil. and doped with Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The nanoparticles were synthesized by the hydrolysis co-precipitation process in alkaline medium, the polymers by the polycondensation method and the nano emulsions by the ultrasonic homogenization technique. To characterize the material, the following techniques were used: Spectroscopic (UV-Vis and NIR), Electronic (MET and SEM) and Magnetic (SM) Micrographs.The data obtained in the NIR and UV-Vis spectra showed the molecular groupings characteristic of fatty acids present in C. guianensis oil. The synthesized polymer presented molecular interactions associated with bonds of unsaturated fatty acids, in addition to the specific vibrations of the Amazonian oil. Both characteristics can be found in nano emulsions, with the addition of unique electronic interactions bands. The data obtained by MET, SEM and SM indicated the good formation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles and nano emulsions, both with spherical shape, with superparamagnetic characteristics and mean diameter of 10.23 nm and 340 nm respectively. The data indicate that the development of this new nanostructured complex was a success.
