Abstract

Permalloy nanoparticle-based composite films as a magnetic shield for transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) applications redirect magnetic field lines away from shielded regions to potentially protect implantable devices, mitigate overstimulation of cortical areas when targeting deep brain regions, and maintain patient comfort when compared to the non-conformable metallic shields that, due to Lorentz forces, cause noise issues when the magnetic field is applied to the metal. The shields are conformable and moldable to perfectly interface between the geometry of the TMS coil and that of the patient’s head. Our results show that a heavily loaded polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) permalloy composite can effectively shield low strength magnetic fields from TMS coils. The composite saturates quickly with higher fields but with some modifications and further study, it shows promise as a conformable shielding material for TMS and other wearable shielding of low frequency and dc magnetic field applications. We also compared the experimental results to ANSYS Maxwell magnetostatic simulations and fully characterize the composite materials magnetic properties and microstructure.
控制经颅磁场线圈场廓线的新型适形屏蔽坡莫合金复合材料
Permalloy纳米颗粒复合薄膜作为经颅磁刺激(TMS)应用的磁屏蔽,可将磁力线从屏蔽区域转移,以潜在地保护可植入设备,减轻针对脑深部区域时皮质区域的过度刺激,并且与不符合要求的金属屏蔽相比,保持患者的舒适度,由于洛伦兹力,当磁场施加于金属时,会引起噪音问题。这些护罩具有适应性和可塑性,可以完美地连接TMS线圈的几何形状和患者头部的几何形状。结果表明,负载较重的聚二甲基硅氧烷(PDMS)坡莫合金复合材料可以有效屏蔽TMS线圈产生的低强度磁场。该复合材料在高磁场下迅速饱和,但经过一些修改和进一步的研究,它有望成为一种合适的屏蔽材料,用于TMS和其他低频和直流磁场应用的可穿戴屏蔽。并将实验结果与ANSYS Maxwell静磁模拟结果进行了比较,全面表征了复合材料的磁性能和微观结构。
