Abstract
Aligning anisotropic nanoparticles using external fields is one of the major obstacles to unlocking their enormous potential for novel applications. The most famous such example is graphene, a 2D family of nanomaterials that has received enormous attention since its discovery. Using graphene to enhance mechanical, thermal, electric or gas barrier properties, imparting antibacterial properties etc., relies to a great extent on the ability to control their orientation inside a matrix material, i.e., polymers. Here we summarize the latest advances on graphene orientation using magnetic fields. The review covers the underlying physics for graphene interaction with magnetic fields, theoretical continuum mechanics framework for inducing orientation, typical magnetic field orientation setups, and a summary of latest advances in their use to enhance the performance of materials. Current trends, limitations of current alignment techniques are highlighted and major challenges in the field are identified.
期刊介绍:
Progress in Materials Science is a journal that publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials. The focus of the journal is on the fundamental aspects of materials science, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties. Emphasis is also placed on the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms, and modeling of processes within materials, as well as the understanding of material properties in engineering and other applications.
The journal welcomes reviews from authors who are active leaders in the field of materials science and have a strong scientific track record. Materials of interest include metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical, and composite materials in all forms.
Manuscripts submitted to Progress in Materials Science are generally longer than those found in other research journals. While the focus is on invited reviews, interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. Non-invited manuscripts are required to be preceded by the submission of a proposal. Authors publishing in Progress in Materials Science have the option to publish their research via subscription or open access. Open access publication requires the author or research funder to meet a publication fee (APC).
Abstracting and indexing services for Progress in Materials Science include Current Contents, Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, INSPEC, and Scopus.
