A modified Stober method is introduced to synthesize Fe@SiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) using 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as a primer to render the metal particle surface compatible with silica. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) and selected area electron diffraction (SAED) results indicate a highly crystalline iron core coated with a uniform layer of silica. Polyurethane (PU) nanocomposites filled with 71 wt % Fe@FeO and 71 wt % Fe@SiO2 NPs are fabricated via a surface-initiated polymerization (SIP) method. The significantly increased coercivity of the resulting nanocomposites than that of the pure Fe@FeO NPs indicates that the NPs become magnetically harder after being dispersed in the PU matrix. Both Fe@SiO2 NPs and Fe@SiO2/PU nanocomposites exhibit better thermal stability and antioxidation capability than Fe@FeO and Fe@FeO/PU, respectively, owing to the barrier effect of the silica shell, revealed by the thermalgravimetric analysis (TGA). Meanwhile, the silica shell greatly r...
