In this review article, we provide an introduction to ferrogels, ie polymeric gels with
embedded magnetic particles. Due to the interplay between magnetic and elastic properties …

A review of the latest theoretical advances in the description of magnetomechanical effects
and phenomena observed in magnetoactive elastomers (MAEs), ie, polymer networks filled …

Magnetic gels have been gaining great attention in nanomedicine, as they combine features
of hydrogels and magnetic nanoparticles into a single system. The incorporation of …

Magnetic hybrid materials in the form of magnetic gels and elastomers, that is, magnetic or
magnetizable colloidal particles embedded in an elastic polymer matrix, are fascinating …

We study the magneto-elastic coupling behavior of paramagnetic chains in soft polymer gels
exposed to external magnetic fields. To this end, a laser scanning confocal microscope is …

Being able to predict and understand the behaviour of soft magnetic materials paves the
way to their technological applications. In this study we analyse the magnetic response of …

We analyze theoretically the field-induced microstructural deformations in a hybrid
elastomer, that consists of a polymer matrix filled with a mixture of magnetically soft and …

The physical properties of magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) are a complex issue and
can be influenced and controlled in many ways, eg by applying a magnetic field, by external …

The structure of a thin magnetoactive elastomeric (MAE) film adsorbed on a solid substrate
is studied by molecular dynamics simulations. Within the adopted coarse-grained approach …

Ferrogels and magnetorheological elastomers are composite materials obtained by
embedding magnetic particles of mesoscopic size in a crosslinked polymeric matrix. They …
