Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-Mn0.25Fe2,75O4/Ag ferrogels was fabricated by using the freezing-thawing method. Mn0.25Fe2.75O4/Ag magnetic fillers of ferrogels were synthesized by using coprecipitation and chemical reduction methods. Characterization of Mn0.25Fe2.75O4/Ag nanopowders was carried out using X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Vibrating Sample Magnetometer (VSM) instrument, and antimicrobial activity. At the same time, CMC/PVA-Mn0.25Fe2.75O4/Ag ferrogels were characterized by using magnetothermal instrument. The XRD pattern of the magnetite filler shows the peaks by the Fe3O4 and Ag phases, respectively. The TEM image, there are Mn0.25Fe2.75O4 and Ag with particle size distributions of 5–7 and 10–13 nm, respectively. The hysterical curve from VSM characterization shows a decrease in the value of magnetization saturation from 16.9 to 14.7 emu/g along with the addition of Ag material. Antimicrobial activity was tested using the agar diffusion method. Mn0.25Fe2.75O4/Ag samples showed very good results indicated by the widening of the zone of inhibition around the sample. Thus, CMC/PVA-Mn0.25Fe2.75O4/Ag ferrogels has the potential application to be applied in hyperthermia therapy as well as antimicrobial materials. © The Author(s) 2023.
