Monodisperse MFe2O4 (M= Fe, Zn) nanoparticles were successfully synthesized for the application of polydiethylsiloxane-based (PDES) ferrofluids (FFs) via a novel solvothermal method, with which 1-octanol and 1-octanamine act as binary solvent, oleic acid (OA) as the surfactant and metal acetylacetonate [M(acac)(3)](M = Fe and Zn) as the metal source. X-ray diffractometer confirms that the resultant nanoparticles are pure MFe2O4 with a spinet structure. Infrared spectroscopy indicates that oleic acid is bound to the surface of MFe2O4 through a covalent bond between carboxylate (COO-) and metal cations. The ratio of 1-octanol and 1-octanamine plays a key role in the formation of the sphere-shaped morphology. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images confirm that the Fe3O4 particles are of 4-11 nm with good monodispersity and a narrow size distribution. The saturation magnetization of Fe3O4 nanoparticles with sizes of 7 nm can reach up to 73.06 emu/g. Polydiethylsiloxane-based (PDES) FFs show relatively smaller changes of the viscosity with low temperatures (from -7 to 20 degrees C) than the polydimethylsiloxane-based (PDMS) FFs. For FFs applications, the relationship between viscosity and temperature is also discussed. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
