We study nanocomposites of a polymer matrix which consists of hydrophobically modified ethoxylated urethane polymers (HEUR) with embedded coated magnetite nanoparticles. Two different kinds of coatings are compared namely, the hydrophobic coating, composed of oleic acid and oleylamine, and the hydrophilic coating composed of a cationic surfactant, C18TAB, as an additional layer to the hydrophobic magnetic nanoparticles. We focused on the structural characterization of such nanocomposites in two different morphologies: as thin dry films and as hydrogels.
