In this study, structure and magnetic properties of poly(p-xylylene)-MnSb nanocomposite films with different inorganic filler content were investigated. The thickness of all studied films was about 200-300 nm as determined by scanning electron microscopy. It was found that the filler concentration strongly affects surface morphology of the composite films. AFM revealed that the film with the lowest MnSb content has globular surface mophology, presumably formed by polymeric grains with small MnSb nanoparticles on their surface. Ferromagnetic hysteresis loop was observed for all studied films at room temperature with the saturation magnetization values correlating with the MnSb content.
