The paper relates only partially to the project (40 %). We report on the synthesis of magnetic iron oxide particles; study of the particles’ formation was undertaken to investigate conditions of precipitation in order to apply it efficiently to cellulose fibre coating procedures. We investigated the formation of iron oxide particles from different starting points. Structural properties (crystallinity, size of the single magnetite crystals), their magnetic and colloidal properties were correlated with the synthesis procedure used. Size and crystallinity of formed particles are also dependent upon the molar concentrations of Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions. Gained insight of the presented synthesis study will prove useful in materials synthesis in the present project.

In the project we wish to use smart materials for functionalization of TiO2 nanoparticles. Smart materials can significantly change their properties (such as shape, stiffness, and viscosity etc.)in a predictable or controllable manner in response to their environment. In the paper that will appear in Materials Research Bulletin we showed how in a given pot the change of pH can change the shape of material (the change is from spherical into an empti olive-like shape).
