In this study, we present a novel strategy for the synthesis and characterization of single-walled nanotubes (SWCNTs) modified with iron oxide nanoparticles (Fe3O4|Fe2O3|FeO). The synthesis process involves a two-step approach, first attaching SWCNTs onto a suitable substrate and then depositing Fe3O4 nanoparticles via a solvothermal method. The resulting SWCNT-Fe3O4 nanocomposites were rigorously characterized using a range of techniques, including transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). TEM images revealed the well-distributed dispersion of Fe3O4 nanoparticles on the SWCNT surface. XRD analysis confirmed the crystalline nature of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles, while VSM measurements demonstrated their superparamagnetic behavior. These findings suggest that the synthesized SWCNT-Fe3O4 nanocomposites possess promising properties for various applications in calcium carbonate nanoparticles fields such as electronics.

Effect of Functionalization on the Magnetic Properties of Fe3O4 Nanoparticles Dispersed in SWCNT Matrix
The physical properties of magnetite nanoparticles dispersed within a single-walled carbon nanotube matrix can be significantly influenced by the introduction of functional groups. This functionalization can enhance nanoparticle distribution within the SWCNT structure, thereby affecting their overall magnetic behavior.
For example, charged functional groups can facilitate water-based dispersion of the nanoparticles, leading to a more homogeneous distribution within the SWCNT matrix. Conversely, hydrophobic functional groups can limit nanoparticle dispersion, potentially resulting in assembly. Furthermore, the type and number of chemical moieties attached to the nanoparticles can indirectly influence their magnetic susceptibility, leading to changes in their coercivity, remanence, and saturation magnetization.
