Abstract
In this paper, we develop multifunctional, physically soft, mechanically compliant, and magnetically responsive PDMS films, with embedded Fe3O4 nanoparticles, that show robust magnetic properties over a significant range of mechanical deformation. First, we establish that the magnetic properties, namely the saturation magnetization (Ms), remanent magnetization (Mr), and intrinsic coercivity (Hci) of these PDMS films in highly deformed configurations, i.e. in folded, twisted (with different twist angles), and bent (flexed) configurations, show very little degradation compared to those obtained in undeformed configurations. Next, the films were subjected to repetitive cycles of zero-to-max deformation (R = 0) and the saturation magnetization of the films was shown to not exhibit any significant degree of progressive degradation as a function of cyclic deformation history. These findings confirm the excellent robustness and cyclic durability of magnetic properties shown by these magnetic and compliant PDMS films and point to their suitability for wearable electronics applications.
期刊介绍:
Flexible and Printed Electronics is a multidisciplinary journal publishing cutting edge research articles on electronics that can be either flexible, plastic, stretchable, conformable or printed. Research related to electronic materials, manufacturing techniques, components or systems which meets any one (or more) of the above criteria is suitable for publication in the journal. Subjects included in the journal range from flexible materials and printing techniques, design or modelling of electrical systems and components, advanced fabrication methods and bioelectronics, to the properties of devices and end user applications.
