Research Topic II.
Synthesis and characterization of conducting polymer composites containing magnetic  nanoparticles attract increasing attention, nowadays. Magnetic nanoparticles (e.g. Fe2O3,  Fe3O4, CoFe2O4, Ni, Fe, metal alloys) with typical size of 1-30 nm usually exhibit  superparamagnetic features, but rarely ferri- or ferromagnetic properties can also be observed.  Incorporation of these nanoparticles results in hybrid materials which can be used in many  different fields, e.g., magnetic separation, microwave shielding, catalysis, and sensors 
Synthesis and characterization of ferrit-containing conducting polymer  nanocomposites
Conducting polymer nanocomposites can be prepared via either chemical or electrochemical methods. The latter way  results in modified electrode surfaces, exhibiting the properties of both components. We examined magnetite containing  conducting polymer-based electrodes in the electroreduction of dissolved oxygen, and hydrogen-peroxide. These hybrid  assemblies were not only good electrocatalysts, but quantitative determination of these analytes was also achieved.  References:  Chemical synthesis of poly(3-thiophene-acetic-acid)/magnetite nanocomposites with tunable magnetic  behaviour Janaky C, Endrodi B, Kovacs K, et al., SYNTHETIC METALS   Volume: 160   Issue: 1-2   Pages: 65-71  Conducting Polymer-Based Electrode with Magnetic Behavior: Electrochemical Synthesis of   Poly(3-thiophene-acetic-acid)/Magnetite Nanocomposite Thin Layers  Janaky C, Visy C, Berkesi O, et al., JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C   Volume: 113   Issue: 4   Pages: 1352-1358     Visible-Light-Enhanced Electrocatalytic Activity of a Polypyrrole/Magnetite Hybrid Electrode toward  the  Reduction of Dissolved Dioxygen Janaky C, Endrodi B, Berkesi O, et al., JOURNAL OF PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY C   Volume: 114   Issue: 45   Pages: 19338-  19344  Electrocatalytic properties of the polypyrrole/magnetite hybrid modified electrode towards the reduction of  hydrogen peroxide in the presence of dissolved oxygen Bencsik G, Janáky C, Endrődi B, Visy C, ELECTROCHIMICA ACTA   Volume 73   Pages 53–58  Layer by Layer Growth of Electroactive Conducting Polymer/Magnetite Hybrid Assemblies   Endrődi B, Bíró A, Janaky C, Tóth IY, Visy C, SYNTHETIC METALS   Volume: 171 Pages: 62-68
