OBTENÇÃO DE NANOPARTICULAS MAGNÉTICAS COM MATERIAIS DE BAIXO CUSTO: SÍNTESE, ESTUDO DE SUAS PROPRIEDADES E APLICABILIDADES

Abstract

Nanotechnology and Nanoscience emerged as a scientific field less than a century ago, driven by progress in the control and manufacture of materials at nanometric scales. In this sense, it is of utmost importance to introduce this new science into the educational environment, since knowledge on the subject is extraordinarily unique to society. In view of this, this work aimed to present a contextualization of the magnetic properties of magnetic nanomaterials, the relevance of their approach in the classroom and their applicability. For this purpose, a research with a qualitative and quantitative approach was carried out, using questionnaires based on the Likert scale as instruments for data collection, and a short course with an emphasis on synthesis and study of magnetic properties and their applications. The research participants were students of the undergraduate course in Physics, at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Piauí (IFPI), Campus Oeiras. The work sought to advance the field of magnetism through a new approach to synthesize nanomaterials in an economical way. We will explore its magnetic properties and applications, aiming to facilitate the transmission of this knowledge to future teachers in the basic education network and make Physics Teaching more enjoyable and efficient, overcoming the traditional mechanical teaching model.
