Polymer-metal-carbon hybrid nanomaterials based on thermostable electroactive poly-3-amine-7-methylamine-2-methylphenazine (PAMMP), single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), and magnetite (Fe3O4) nanoparticles were synthesized for the first time. Hybrid Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanomaterial synthesis was carried out via in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of 3-amine-7-methylamine-2-methylphenazine hydrochloride in the presence of metal-carbon Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposites. Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposites were obtained by the immobilization of magnetite nanoparticles on the SWCNT surface in the course of Fe3O4 nanoparticles synthesis in alkaline medium. The developed nanocomposite materials were characterized by FTIR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), field emission (FE-SEM) scanning electron microscopy, atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and magnetometry. The chemical structure and phase composition, magnetic and electrical properties, and thermal stability of the obtained multifunctional nanomaterials, depending on synthesis conditions, were investigated.


Introduction
Modern technology requires the creation of new generation materials with improved functional characteristics. Hybrid nanomaterials, described here, have a combination of organic and inorganic components providing a range of required properties [1][2][3]. In this respect, hybrid nanomaterials, in which the organic component is a conjugated polymer and the inorganic component is represented by magnetic nanoparticles, are of particular interest to researchers around the globe [4]. Hybrid nanomaterials based on polyconjugated systems and magnetic nanoparticles appear to be very promising for modern technologies due to the combination of their electrical and magnetic properties. Such electromagnetic nanocomposites can be used as cathode materials for chemical batteries [5,6], as anticorrosive coatings [7][8][9][10] and heterogeneous catalyst systems [11], for medical purposes [12], as well as effective sorbents for the purification of drinking water [13][14][15][16][17][18], and as materials that efficiently absorb electromagnetic radiation [19][20][21][22][23]. Therefore, the design of novel nanocomposite materials based on polymers with a system of polyconjugation and magnetic nanoparticles have not lost their relevance. In recent years, much attention has been attracted by new ternary hybrid nanocomposites, which contain, along with conjugated polymers and magnetic nanoparticles, carbon nanomaterials. However, there are only a few works describing the synthesis and properties of ternary nanomaterials containing conjugated polymers, magnetic nanoparticles, and carbon components.
There are two approaches for preparing ternary nanocomposites: in situ oxidative polymerization of aniline in the presence of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), or graphene oxide followed by the deposition of magnetite nanoparticles on their surface [19,20,24]; the in situ oxidative polymerization of aniline or pyrrole in the presence of magnetite nanoparticles anchored to MWCNT or reduced graphene oxide [21,22]. At high dispersity of magnetic nanoparticles the ternary nanocomposites are superparamagnetic [19][20][21]. The saturation magnetization value depends on the content of the magnetic nanoparticles. The aggregation of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles determines the ferromagnetic behavior of the nanocomposite [22]. The obtained nanomaterials can effectively absorb electromagnetic radiation.
In the present paper, a synthesis method is proposed for novel hybrid polymer-metal-carbon nanocomposite materials based on Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles immobilized on the surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). The polymer component of the hybrid nanomaterial is represented by poly-3-amine-7-methylamine-2-methylphenazine (PAMMP), which was synthesized by the authors for the first time via oxidative polymerization of 3-amine-7-dimethylamine-2-methylphenazine hydrochloride (ADMPC)-also known as Neutral Red [25]. PAMMP is a semi-ladder heterocyclic thermostable polymer, in which nitrogen atoms participate in the common polyconjugated system. Analysis of the results of spectral studies by FTIR and electron spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, solid state HRMAS (high-resolution magic angle spinning), and 13 C NMR spectroscopy [25], allow for the representation of a chemical structure of PAMMP, as shown in Figure 1. In the course of the synthesis, PAMMP can form film coatings on the surface of the substrate added to the reaction solution.

In the present paper, a synthesis method is proposed for novel hybrid polymer-metal-carbon nanocomposite materials based on Fe3O4 nanoparticles immobilized on the surface of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT). The polymer component of the hybrid nanomaterial is represented by poly-3-amine-7-methylamine-2-methylphenazine (PAMMP), which was synthesized by the authors for the first time via oxidative polymerization of 3-amine-7-dimethylamine-2-methylphenazine hydrochloride (ADMPC)-also known as Neutral Red [25].

Analysis of the results of spectral studies by FTIR and electron spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, solid state HRMAS (high-resolution magic angle spinning), and 13 С NMR spectroscopy [25], allow for the representation of a chemical structure of PAMMP, as shown in Figure 1. In the course of the synthesis, PAMMP can form film coatings on the surface of the substrate added to the reaction solution. The synthesis of hybrid Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanomaterials was carried out in aqueous solutions of acetonitrile or DMF via in situ chemical oxidative polymerization of ADMPC on the surface of the previously synthesized metal-carbon Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite. The formation methods of the hybrid dispersed Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanomaterial include monomer immobilization on the surface of the metal-carbon Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite and subsequent in situ oxidative polymerization in a neutral medium in the presence of ammonium persulfate as an oxidant ( Figure 2). The magnetic, thermal, and electrical properties of obtained nanomaterials were studied.
The synthesis of Fe3O4 nanoparticles immobilized on the SWCNT surface (metal-carbon Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite) was performed via hydrolysis of iron (II) and (III) salts taken at a ratio 1:2 in a solution of ammonium hydroxide [27] in the presence of SWCNT at 60 °C. For this purpose 0.86 g of FeSO4·7H2O and 2.35 g of FeCl3·6H2O were dissolved in 20 mL of distilled water. 0.038 g SWCNT (10 wt % from the weight of ADMPC) was added to the reaction media which was then heated to 60 °C; 5 mL of NH4OH was added subsequently. The resulting suspension was heated on a water bath to 80 °C and stirred for 0.5 h. The suspension was cooled at room temperature with continuous intense stirring for 1 h. The obtained Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite was filtered off, washed with distilled water to remove residual amounts of ammonium hydroxide until the pH value of the filtrate reached 7, and dried over KOH under vacuum to constant weight. The yield of Fe3O4/SWCNT was 1.072 g with CFe = 61.2% (according to AAS data).
The synthesis of the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite was conducted in a neutral medium as follows. Freshly prepared Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite in the desired concentration (Table 1) was washed with distilled water up to neutral reaction and without pre-drying, was added straight into the ADMPC solution in acetonitrile (0.02 mol/L, 0.38 g). The content of carbon nanotubes CSWCNT = 10 and 20 wt % relative to the monomer weight. This process of monomer immobilization on the Fe3O4/SWCNT surface was carried out at 60 °C with continuous intense stirring for 1 h. The suspension was cooled at room temperature with intense stirring for 1 h. After that, in order to perform in situ oxidative polymerization of ADMPC on the metal-carbon Fe3O4/SWCNT surface, an aqueous solution (30 mL) of ammonium persulphate (0.04 mol/L, 0.548 g) was added dropwise to the Fe3O4/SWCNT/ADMPC suspension in acetonitrile, pre-cooled to 15 °C by using the LOIP FT-311-25 cryothermostat (Saint-Petersburg, Russia). The volume ratio of organic and aqueous phases was 1:1 (Vtotal = 60 mL). The synthesis continued for 4 h with intense stirring at 15 °C. When the synthesis was completed, the mixture was precipitated in a fivefold excess of distilled water. The resulting product was filtered off, washed repeatedly with distilled water to remove residual amounts of reagent, and dried over KOH under vacuum to constant weight. Oxidative polymerization of ADMPC in the presence of the Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite can also be carried out in an aqueous solution of DMF. The yield of Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP was 1.23 g at CFe = 45.7% (according to AAS data) ( Table 1).
The synthesis of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles immobilized on the SWCNT surface (metal-carbon Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT nanocomposite) was performed via hydrolysis of iron (II) and (III) salts taken at a ratio 1:2 in a solution of ammonium hydroxide [27] in the presence of SWCNT at 60 • C. For this purpose 0.86 g of FeSO 4 ·7H 2 O and 2.35 g of FeCl 3 ·6H 2 O were dissolved in 20 mL of distilled water. 0.038 g SWCNT (10 wt % from the weight of ADMPC) was added to the reaction media which was then heated to 60 • C; 5 mL of NH 4 OH was added subsequently. The resulting suspension was heated on a water bath to 80 • C and stirred for 0.5 h. The suspension was cooled at room temperature with continuous intense stirring for 1 h. The obtained Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT nanocomposite was filtered off, washed with distilled water to remove residual amounts of ammonium hydroxide until the pH value of the filtrate reached 7, and dried over KOH under vacuum to constant weight. The yield of Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT was 1.072 g with C Fe = 61.2% (according to AAS data).
The synthesis of the Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite was conducted in a neutral medium as follows. Freshly prepared Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT nanocomposite in the desired concentration (Table 1) was washed with distilled water up to neutral reaction and without pre-drying, was added straight into the ADMPC solution in acetonitrile (0.02 mol/L, 0.38 g). The content of carbon nanotubes C SWCNT = 10 and 20 wt % relative to the monomer weight. This process of monomer immobilization on the Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT surface was carried out at 60 • C with continuous intense stirring for 1 h. The suspension was cooled at room temperature with intense stirring for 1 h. After that, in order to perform in situ oxidative polymerization of ADMPC on the metal-carbon Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT surface, an aqueous solution (30 mL) of ammonium persulphate (0.04 mol/L, 0.548 g) was added dropwise to the Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/ADMPC suspension in acetonitrile, pre-cooled to 15 • C by using the LOIP FT-311-25 cryothermostat (Saint-Petersburg, Russia). The volume ratio of organic and aqueous phases was 1:1 (V total = 60 mL). The synthesis continued for 4 h with intense stirring at 15 • C. When the synthesis was completed, the mixture was precipitated in a fivefold excess of distilled water. The resulting product was filtered off, washed repeatedly with distilled water to remove residual amounts of reagent, and dried over KOH under vacuum to constant weight. Oxidative polymerization of ADMPC in the presence of the Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT nanocomposite can also be carried out in an aqueous solution of DMF. The yield of Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP was 1.23 g at C Fe = 45.7% (according to AAS data) ( Table 1). In order to synthesize the SWCNT/PAMMP composite material, ADMPC (0.02 mol/L, 0.38 g) was dissolved in acetonitrile (30 mL). 0.0114 g SWCNT (3 wt % relative to the monomer weight) was added to the resulting solution. The process was carried out at 60 • C with continuous intense stirring for 1 h. The resulting SWCNT/ADMPC suspension was stirred in an ultrasonic bath at room temperature for 0.5 h. Then, to perform in situ oxidative polymerization of ADMPC in the presence of SWCNT, an aqueous solution (30 mL) of ammonium persulphate (0.04 mol/L, 0.548 g) was added dropwise to the SWCNT/ADMPC suspension, pre-cooled to 15 • C. The volume ratio of organic and aqueous phases was 1:1 (V total = 60 mL). The synthesis continued for 4 h with intense stirring at 15 • C. When the synthesis was completed, the mixture was precipitated in a fivefold excess of distilled water. The resulting product was filtered off, washed repeatedly with distilled water to remove residual amounts of reagent, and dried over KOH under vacuum to constant weight. The yield of SWCNT/PAMMP was 0.23 g.
The content of metal in Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT and Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite materials was measured quantitatively by atomic absorption spectrometry using a Carl Zeiss JENA AAS 30 spectrophotometer (Schwerin, Germany, Table 1). Fe content was measured to ±1% accuracy.
FTIR spectra of the samples were measured on a Bruker IFS 66v FTIR spectrometer (Karlsruhe, Germany) in the range of 400-4000 cm −1 . The samples were prepared as KBr pressed pellets. Attenuated total reflection (ATR) FTIR spectra in the attenuated total reflectance mode were recorded using a HYPERION-2000 IR microscope (Bruker, Karlsruhe, Germany) and coupled with the Bruker IFS 66v FTIR spectrometer in the range of 600-4000 cm −1 (150 scans, ZnSe crystal, resolution of 2 cm −1 ). X-ray diffraction study was performed in ambient atmosphere using a Difray-401 X-ray diffractometer with Bragg-Bretano (Scientific Instruments Joint Stock Company, Saint-Petersburg, Russia) focusing on CrK α radiation, λ = 0.229 nm. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis were used to calculate the size distribution of the coherent scattering regions of crystallites [28] in Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles.
An electron microscopic study was performed using a LEO 912 AB OMEGA transmission electron microscope (Bioz Inc., Los Altos, CA, USA) and a Zeiss Supra 25 FE-SEM field emission scanning electron microscope (Carl Zeiss AG, Jena, Germany). To prepare the TEM samples, the nanocomposites were thoroughly ground in an agate mortar and the dispersed powder was applied to a supporting grid. The resolution of the resulting images is 1-2 nm. The size of nanoparticles is determined using the EsiVision software (eVision Software, The Hague, The Netherlands).
The BET surface area test was conducted on Micromeritics ASAP 2020 (Micromeritics Corporate, Norcross, GA, USA) via capillary nitrogen condensation method at 77 K in the region of relative pressure (P/P 0 ) from 0.01 to 0.99. The surface area correction factor was ±1. Degassing of the sample was carried out at 120 • C for 2 h.
A vibration magnetometer was used to study the magnetic characteristics of the systems. The cell of the vibration magnetometer was designed as a flow quartz microreactor, which made it possible to study chemical transformations in "in situ mode" [29]. Specific magnetization depending on the magnetic field value was measured; magnetic characteristics of the samples at room temperature were determined. The DC conductivity at room temperature was determined by a standard 4-point procedure with a Loresta-GP MCP-T610 unit (Mitsubishi, Shimotsuruma, Japan). The AC conductivity was measured with a 6367A precision LCR-meter (Microtest, New Taipei City, Taiwan) in the frequency range of 0.1 Hz-1.15 MHz.
Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) was performed on a Mettler Toledo TGA/DSC1 (Giessen, Germany) in the dynamic mode in the range of 30-1000 • C in air and in the argon flow.

The synthesis method of the metal-carbon Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite via precipitation of magnetite nanoparticles on the surface of SWCNT is original: Due to the presence of SWCNT in the reaction medium, when the mixture of iron (II) and (III) salts hydrolyzes in a solution of ammonium hydroxide, the formation of Fe3O4 nanoparticles occurs, and they are simultaneously anchored onto the SWCNT surface (Figure 3a).  Thus, the immobilization of magnetite nanoparticles on the SWCNT surface was carried out directly in the alkaline medium where the Fe3O4 nanoparticles were prepared. The FTIR spectrum of Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite ( Figure 4) shows a band at 556 cm −1 alongside a band at 430 cm −1 , characterizing the stretching vibrations of the magnetite νFe-O bond.
The X-ray diffraction analysis of the metal-carbon Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite structure made it is possible to establish that the only metal-containing phase of the nanocomposite is the Fe3O4 phase, identified clearly by diffraction peaks at scattering angles 2θ = 45.97°, 54.1°, 66.69°, 84.57°, 90.97°, and 102.16° (CrKα-radiation) ( Figure 5) [30,31]. All these diffraction peaks correspond to the cubic structure of Fe3O4 (JCPDS 19-0629) and refer to the Miller Indices (220), (311), (400), (422), (511), and (440) [32]. The absence of the carbon phase diffraction peak on the diffractogram of the Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite was explained by the impossibility of obtaining a diffraction pattern from a single SWCNT plane. Based on the obtained metal-carbon Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite, polymer-metal-carbon hybrid Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanomaterials were synthesized via in situ oxidative polymerization of ADMPC in an aqueous solution of acetonitrile. To immobilize ADMPC on the Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite surface, freshly prepared magnetite nanoparticles precipitated to SWCNT and were washed until neutral reaction without pre-drying, then were added to the reaction neutral medium of Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanomaterial synthesis.  Based on the obtained metal-carbon Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite, polymer-metal-carbon hybrid Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanomaterials were synthesized via in situ oxidative polymerization of ADMPC in an aqueous solution of acetonitrile. To immobilize ADMPC on the Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite surface, freshly prepared magnetite nanoparticles precipitated to SWCNT and were washed until neutral reaction without pre-drying, then were added to the reaction neutral medium of Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanomaterial synthesis.   The presence of absorption bands at 820 and 1287 cm −1 (out-of-plane bending vibrations of δC-H bonds in the 1,2,4,5-substituted benzene ring) indicates that the polymer chains grow via the C-N bonding between 3-amine groups and the para position of the phenyl rings in relation to the nitrogen. This type of bonding is observed in the course of aniline polymerization ("head-to-tail" type) [33,38,39].
A characteristic change in the FTIR spectra of the nanocomposite compared to the polymer spectrum is that the increase in content of carbon nanotubes results in a hypsochromic shift of frequency of skeleton vibrations of PAMMP by 7-9 cm −1 in the ATR FTIR spectra of the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite ( Figure 6). In the absorption bands this shift indicates π-π* interaction of phenazine units of PAMMP with the aromatic structures of SWCNT.
In the process of in situ oxidative polymerization of ADMPC on the surface of Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite, PAMMP phenazine units provide the formation of polymer chains in the immediate vicinity of the metal-carbon Fe3O4/SWCNT surface. According to TEM and FE-SEM data, PAMMP is formed on the surface of the Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite (Figures 3 and 7). This is also confirmed by BET surface area test data. The specific surface area of the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite (58.8 m 2 /g) is much smaller than that of SWCNT (1067.3 m 2 /g) and is closer to that of polymer (15.9 m 2 /g) ( Table 2). According to the XRD data, the polymer component in the nanocomposite is amorphous (Figures 5 and 8). The presence of absorption bands at 820 and 1287 cm −1 (out-of-plane bending vibrations of δ C-H bonds in the 1,2,4,5-substituted benzene ring) indicates that the polymer chains grow via the C-N bonding between 3-amine groups and the para position of the phenyl rings in relation to the nitrogen.

According to the XRD data, the polymer component in the nanocomposite is amorphous (Figures 5 and 8).   (Figures 5 and 8). These diffraction peaks refer to the Miller Indices (220), (311), (400), (422), (511), and (440) [32]. According to the TEM and FE-SEM data, the size of Fe3O4 nanoparticles determined using the EsiVision software is within the range of 2 < d < 8 nm (Figures 3  and 7). According to AAS data, depending on the synthesis conditions, the content of CFe = 17.6-45.7% (Table 1).   (Figures 5 and 8). These diffraction peaks refer to the Miller Indices (220), (311), (400), (422), (511), and (440) [32].

According to AAS data, depending on the synthesis conditions, the content of C Fe = 17.6-45.7% (Table 1) Figure 9 shows the size distribution of the coherent scattering regions in Fe3O4 nanoparticles. In the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite, the size distribution curves of Fe3O4 crystallites are narrow. About 95-97% of Fe3O4 crystallites have sizes up to 8 nm. As it can be seen in Figure 9, the Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite has a wider size distribution curve. Only about 85% of Fe3O4 crystallites have sizes up to 8 nm. According to TEM data, the size of Fe3O4 nanoparticles in the Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite is within the range of 6 < d < 15 nm (Figure 3a). This is explained by the fact that the polymer on the surface of Fe3O4/SWCNT reduces the aggregation of nanoparticles in the course of the synthesis of the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanomaterial. The magnetic properties of Fe3O4/SWCNT and Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanomaterials have been studied and the values of their main magnetic characteristics have been measured. The magnetization dependence on the magnetic field intensity at room temperature is shown in Figures  10 and 11. The effect of iron concentration on the magnetic properties of the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanomaterial has been investigated. The saturation magnetization MS depends on the iron concentration and reaches 47.24 emu/g at CFe = 45.7% (Table 1), which is significantly higher than those of other similar materials reported in previous studies [20,22]. The hysteresis loop squareness   Figure 9 shows the size distribution of the coherent scattering regions in Fe3O4 nanoparticles.

The hysteresis loop squareness The magnetization dependence on the magnetic field intensity at room temperature is shown in Figures 10 and 11. The effect of iron concentration on the magnetic properties of the Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP nanomaterial has been investigated. The saturation magnetization M S depends on the iron concentration and reaches 47.24 emu/g at C Fe = 45.7% (Table 1), which is significantly higher than those of other similar materials reported in previous studies [20,22]. The hysteresis loop squareness coefficient κ S = M R /M S~0 indicates the superparamagnetic behavior of the hybrid nanomaterial [29,40]. As it can be seen in Figure 11, in the Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT nanocomposite, the hysteresis loop squareness coefficient is slightly higher (κ S = 0.01). The residual magnetization M R of neat Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT is 0.45 emu/g, and the coercive force H C is 6 Oe. The superparamagnetic behavior of nanocomposites at relatively high concentrations of magnetic nanoparticles is specified by the small sizes and high dispersity of the magnetic nanoparticles. Anyway, the obtained values of M R /M S for Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP and Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT nanocomposites are characteristic of uniaxial, single-domain particles. The critical size of the transition to a single-domain state for Fe 3 O 4 is 128 nm [29,40].  [29,40]. As it can be seen in Figure 11, in the Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite, the hysteresis loop squareness coefficient is slightly higher (кS = 0.01). The residual magnetization MR of neat Fe3O4/SWCNT is 0.45 emu/g, and the coercive force HC is 6 Oe. The superparamagnetic behavior of nanocomposites at relatively high concentrations of magnetic nanoparticles is specified by the small sizes and high dispersity of the magnetic nanoparticles. Anyway, the obtained values of MR/MS for Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP and Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposites are characteristic of uniaxial, single-domain particles. The critical size of the transition to a single-domain state for Fe3O4 is 128 nm [29,40].  TGA and DSC methods were used to study the thermal stability of the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite. Figure 12 shows the temperature dependence on weight loss in the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite compared to PAMMP when heated up to 1000 °C in the argon flow and in air. The nanocomposite content of carbon nanotubes CSWCNT = 10 wt % relative to the monomer weight. According to AAS data, the content of CFe3O4 = 23.5%. In Table 3, the main thermal properties of obtained materials are listed. As it is seen in Figure 12, the character of the weight loss curves does not change until 320 °C. The weight loss at low temperatures is associated with the removal of moisture, which is confirmed by the DSC data ( Figure 13).  [29,40]. As it can be seen in Figure 11, in the Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposite, the hysteresis loop squareness coefficient is slightly higher (кS = 0.01). The residual magnetization MR of neat Fe3O4/SWCNT is 0.45 emu/g, and the coercive force HC is 6 Oe. The superparamagnetic behavior of nanocomposites at relatively high concentrations of magnetic nanoparticles is specified by the small sizes and high dispersity of the magnetic nanoparticles. Anyway, the obtained values of MR/MS for Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP and Fe3O4/SWCNT nanocomposites are characteristic of uniaxial, single-domain particles. The critical size of the transition to a single-domain state for Fe3O4 is 128 nm [29,40].  TGA and DSC methods were used to study the thermal stability of the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite. Figure 12 shows the temperature dependence on weight loss in the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite compared to PAMMP when heated up to 1000 °C in the argon flow and in air. The nanocomposite content of carbon nanotubes CSWCNT = 10 wt % relative to the monomer weight. According to AAS data, the content of CFe3O4 = 23.5%. In Table 3, the main thermal properties of obtained materials are listed. As it is seen in Figure 12, the character of the weight loss curves does not change until 320 °C. The weight loss at low temperatures is associated with the removal of moisture, which is confirmed by the DSC data ( Figure 13). TGA and DSC methods were used to study the thermal stability of the Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite.

The weight loss at low temperatures is associated with the removal of moisture, which is confirmed by the DSC data ( Figure 13).   The thermal stability of the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite is slightly higher than that of PAMMP. In an inert medium above 320 °C, the weight loss of the samples occurs gradually. PAMMP loses half of its initial weight in an inert atmosphere at 865 °C. For the nanocomposite at this temperature, the weight loss is only 44% and at 1000 °C the residue is 51%. The processes of thermo-oxidative degradation begin at 315 °C. The 50% loss of weight is observed at 475 °C for the polymer, and at 485 °C for the nanocomposite.
The frequency dependence on the ac conductivity (σac) in the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite has been studied. The Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite demonstrates a weak frequency dependence on σac conductivity in the range of 0.1-5.0 × 10 4 Hz. As the frequency of the alternating current grows in the range of 7.7 × 10 3 -1.15 × 10 6 Hz, the conductivity increases from 8.3 ×  * T 5% , ** T 50% -5% and 50% weight losses (Air/Ar), *** residue at 1000 • C (Air/Ar).

The frequency dependence on the ac conductivity (σ ac ) in the Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite has been studied. The Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite demonstrates a weak frequency dependence on σ ac conductivity in the range of 0.1-5.0 × 10 4 Hz. As the frequency of the alternating current grows in the range of 7.7 × 10 3 -1.15 × 10 6 Hz, the conductivity increases from 8.3 × 10 −6 S/cm to 2.4 × 10 −5 S/cm ( Figure 14). Meanwhile, the frequency dependence on the ac conductivity (σac) in the SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite, containing no magnetite nanoparticles, demonstrates a gradual increase in electrical conductivity in the whole of the investigated frequency range (curve 2 in Figure 14). As the frequency increases, the electrical conductivity rises up to a value of 3.4 × 10 −7 S/cm. According to previous studies [41,42], such character of the frequency dependence on conductivity indicates a hopping mechanism of charge transfer. Therefore, the presence of Fe3O4 nanoparticles changes the nature of the nanocomposite electrical conductivity.
According to previous studies [41,42], the frequency dependence on the ac conductivity in the metal-containing polymer composites is described by evaluation: where ω = 2πf is the angular frequency, A and p depend on the temperature and the volume fraction of the conducting metal-containing component.
At low frequencies, the main contribution to the conductivity is made by the component σdc. In this case, its contribution is greater as the metal content increases [43]. The measurements of conductivity σdc showed that the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP conductivity σdc = 8.3 × 10 −6 S/cm is 6 orders higher in magnitude than the conductivity of PAMMP in the basic form (σdc = 1.2 × 10 −12 S/cm) and SWCNT/PAMMP (σdc = 4.4 × 10 −12 S/cm). Hence, the magnetite nanoparticles make a significant contribution to the conductivity σdc of the nanocomposite. An ionic component of the conductivity also plays an important role in the low-frequency region. Thus, for the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite, weak conductivity changes in the low-frequency range are determined by a growth of percolation degree provided by the high content of magnetite and SWCNT presence, which increases the probability of indirect electron tunneling.
As the frequency increases, the influence of the ionic component on electrical conductivity is leveled and the hopping conduction mechanism begins to play a crucial role. Therefore, in the high-frequency region, the conductivity σаc of the Fe3O4/SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite starts to rise. Meanwhile, the frequency dependence on the ac conductivity (σ ac ) in the SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite, containing no magnetite nanoparticles, demonstrates a gradual increase in electrical conductivity in the whole of the investigated frequency range (curve 2 in Figure 14). As the frequency increases, the electrical conductivity rises up to a value of 3.4 × 10 −7 S/cm. According to previous studies [41,42], such character of the frequency dependence on conductivity indicates a hopping mechanism of charge transfer. Therefore, the presence of Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles changes the nature of the nanocomposite electrical conductivity.

Conclusions
According to previous studies [41,42], the frequency dependence on the ac conductivity in the metal-containing polymer composites is described by evaluation: where ω = 2πf is the angular frequency, A and p depend on the temperature and the volume fraction of the conducting metal-containing component.
At low frequencies, the main contribution to the conductivity is made by the component σ dc . In this case, its contribution is greater as the metal content increases [43]. The measurements of conductivity σ dc showed that the Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP conductivity σ dc = 8.3 × 10 −6 S/cm is 6 orders higher in magnitude than the conductivity of PAMMP in the basic form (σ dc = 1.2 × 10 −12 S/cm) and SWCNT/PAMMP (σ dc = 4.4 × 10 −12 S/cm). Hence, the magnetite nanoparticles make a significant contribution to the conductivity σ dc of the nanocomposite. An ionic component of the conductivity also plays an important role in the low-frequency region. Thus, for the Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite, weak conductivity changes in the low-frequency range are determined by a growth of percolation degree provided by the high content of magnetite and SWCNT presence, which increases the probability of indirect electron tunneling.
As the frequency increases, the influence of the ionic component on electrical conductivity is leveled and the hopping conduction mechanism begins to play a crucial role. Therefore, in the high-frequency region, the conductivity σ ac of the Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite starts to rise.

Conclusions
Polymer-metal-carbon hybrid nanomaterials based on thermostable electroactive poly-3-amine-7-methylamine-2-methylphenazine (PAMMP), single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT), and magnetite (Fe 3 O 4 ) nanoparticles were synthesized for the first time. The obtained thermostable ternary nanomaterials are multifunctional and exhibit certain electrical and magnetic properties. Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposites are superparamagnetic (κ n = M R /M S~0 ). The size of the Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles is within the range of 2 < d < 8 nm. The saturation magnetization M S depends on the iron concentration and is 17.65-47.24 emu/g at C Fe = 17.6-45.7%. The Fe 3 O 4 /SWCNT/PAMMP nanocomposite demonstrates a weak frequency dependence on the σ ac conductivity. As the ac frequency rises in the frequency range of 7.7 × 10 3 Hz-1.15 × 10 6 Hz, the conductivity increases from 8.3 × 10 −6 to 2.4 × 10 −5 S/cm. The nanocomposite loses half of its initial weight in air at 485 • C. In an inert atmosphere at 1000 • C the residue is 51%. The prepared multifunctional hybrid nanomaterials are very promising for modern technologies and can be employed for information storage systems and for creating sensors, electromagnetic shields, materials absorbing electromagnetic radiation in different wavelength ranges, and contrast agents for magnetic resonance tomography. High thermal stability of the obtained hybrid nanomaterials in the air and in an inert atmosphere provides a possibility to use them in high temperature processes.
