Magnetic polyurethane rigid foam nanocomposites were synthesized by incorporation of surface functionalized iron oxide nanoparticles with 3‐aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTS). Magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) and Fe 3 O 4 @APTS were synthesized via co‐precipitation and sol–gel methods, respectively. The main purpose of the surface modification of MNPs was the formation of hydrogen bond between amino groups of Fe 3 O 4 @APTS with the urethane groups to improve magnetic and thermal properties of the nanocomposites. The effect of different amounts of Fe 3 O 4 @APTS on the thermal and magnetic behavior of resultant nanocomposite was investigated and the optimum percentage of nanostructure in foam formulation was defined.
