Mechanical characterization of magnetic nanowire–polydimethylsiloxane composites
نویسندگان
چکیده
One-dimensional magnetic nanowires have been introduced into polydimethylsiloxane PDMS to form polymer based nanocomposites. In contrast to the conventional nanofillers such as carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, nanoparticles, and layer-structured materials, these well-defined anisotropic metallic nanowires are highly conductive and have much weaker van der Waals interactions. Moreover, composition modulation can be introduced along the wire axis to achieve multifunctionalities. Incorporation of magnetic segment s to the nanowire makes it possible to use external magnetic field to manipulate the distribution and alignment of nanowires when they are suspended in liquids. To characterize the mechanical responses of the nanowire-elastomer composite, an approach using microscale rulers has been developed to improve the resolution of strain measurement. Mechanical strengthening effects in PDMS composites with randomly and aligned nickel nanowires have been investigated. © 2009 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.3068173

Magnetic field mediated nanowire alignment in liquids for nanocomposite synthesis.
The motion of magnetic nanowires can be manipulated by a magnetic field in liquids so that their distribution, alignment and orientation can be effectively controlled. The small dimensions of nanoscale entities result in an extremely low Reynolds number, and a steady state Stokes flow approximation was adopted to analyze the nanowire motion under the influences of applied field. The effects of ...
