Manganese ferrite (MnFe2O4) nanoparticles have been of great interest for their remarkable soft-magnetic properties (low coercivity, moderate saturation magnetization) and also for their good chemical stability and mechanical hardness. The formation of ferrite/polymer hybrid/composite materials not only stabilized the magnetic nanoparticles (NMPs), but also gives the materials new properties. However, it was not found in the literature neither the synthesis nor the properties of manganese ferrites in polar crosslinked polymers based on methacrylic acid. The aim of this Dissertation is to produce spherical particles of crosslinked polymers with good magnetic properties based on methacrylic acid, styrene, divinylbenzene and manganese ferrites. In this work, it was synthesized compounds of manganese ferrites (MnFe2O4) scattered at copolymers of poly(methacrylic-acid-co-styrene-co-divinylbenzene) by suspension polymerization and semi-suspension polymerization. The following parameters were evaluated: contents of ferrites (1% and 5%) and concentration of suspension agent (0,2% and 5%). Moreover, it was evaluated synthesis containing organic phases (FO) pre-polymerized and mixture of the ferrite to the organic phase, previous to the stage of suspension polymerization. The copolymers were analyzed as the morphology optical microscopy; magnetic properties and distribution of ferrites at polymeric matrix VSM, SEM e EDS-X; thermal properties TGA; concentration of ferrites at polymeric matrix atomic absorption. Ferrites were evaluated as the crystallography XRD. The pre-polymerized samples and those which the ferrites were mixed at the organic phase, showed better magnetic properties and higher ferrite incorporation at polymeric matrix. No agglomeration was found in the copolymers synthesized by these routes and also the ferrite presence was minimized on the microsphere surface. All copolymers presented soft-magnetic properties as well as superparamagnetism. It was observed that raising the suspension agent concentration and reducing ferrite concentration resulted in the decrease of the microspheres diameters. TGA and DTG results showed that mixing ferrites at the organic phase rises the concentration of magnetic materials about 10%. However, only PM2550 sample, pre-polymerized and with ferrites mixed with the organic phase (5% ferrite and 0,2% PVA), presented potential application as know ferrites presence was not detected on microspheres surface, hence, magnetic materials will be protected by any external action
