Field-structured polymer composites
Summary The use of multiaxial magnetic fields to create particle composites with controlled structures and properties is discussed. These field-structured composites can have greatly enhanced isotropic or anisotropic properties, and have applications to sensing, actuation, and thermal transport. In this article the synthesis of these materials is discussed, and a variety of composite structures are shown. The magnetic permeability and thermal conductivity are given as specific examples of the utility of multiaxial field structuring. © 2013 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim.
