  Abstract: The CuFe2-xNixO4 (x = 0, 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5) nanoparticles were synthesized using a combustion method and comprehensively characterized to understand their suitability for polymer-based composite applications. X-ray diffraction confirmed the formation of a single-phase spinel ferrite structure with crystallite sizes of 20–30 nm. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy verified the successful incorporation of Ni ions into the CuFe₂O₄ lattice, while FE-SEM analysis revealed uniformly dispersed nanoscale particles desirable for composite reinforcement. …
