Russian scientists, including researchers from Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University, have discovered a method to enhance the electrical response of flexible magnetoelectric materials. This breakthrough could lead to advancements in the development of flexible sensors, autonomous energy sources, and biocompatible electronic devices.
The study, reported on the university's website, focused on a two-layer flexible composite material. One of the components was a magnetoactive polymer material, or elastomer, containing iron microparticles. By exposing the material to a magnetic field during fabrication, the researchers were able to align the iron particles into parallel chains.
These ordered particles, in turn, affected the overall properties of the composite material. Valeria Kolesnikova, Director of the Smart Materials Research and Education Centre at IKBFU, explained that the findings could be used to create autonomous energy-harvesting systems that convert mechanical and electromagnetic vibrations into electrical energy.
The researchers believe that this technology could find applications in flexible sensors, wearable electronics, portable devices, and even biocompatible sensors.
