Magneto‐responsive polydimethylsiloxane films with magnetic powder: Characterization and potential application in the tensile loading system

Abstract Magnetic actuation has attracted a growing attention due to its non‐contact performance, rapid response and penetrability. The realization of magnetic requires the participation magneto‐responsive materials (MRMS), polymers (MRPs) are one most widely used MRMs. Here, we report fabrication, characterization tests neodymium‐iron‐boron‐polydimethylsiloxane (NdFeB‐PDMS) films. NdFeB‐PDMS film great flexibility elasticity, as well excellent magnetism. also shows exceptional deformation controllability under actuation. Besides, it can be driven very low field down 1mT, generate an out‐of‐plane displacement 2.7 mm action fields. We focus on tensile films driving provide possible design for their potential application in loading system. Preliminary demonstrate that size is adjusted by controlling output signal amplification factor. Highlights Fabrication Mechanical characterizations field‐induced Potential
