Synthesis of magnetic nanocomposites of chalcone-containing polymers

In this study, first of all, three different chalcone compounds were synthesized. Later, these chalcone compounds were reacted with acryloyl chloride and monomers with chalcone side groups were synthesized. Copolymers are synthesized using synthesized monomers and the commercial monomer methyl methacrylate. A free radical polymerization method was used while synthesizing the copolymers. Characterizations of all synthesized compounds were performed. Nanocomposites were prepared from synthesized copolymers. For the preparation of nanocomposites, 1%, 5% and 10% Fe2O3 were added to the copolymers. Thermal measurements of the prepared nanocomposites were taken.
