Nanomagnetic Elastomers for Realizing Highly Responsive Micro- and Nanosystems.

ABSTRACT: Evolution has produced natural systems that generate motion and sense external stimuli at the micro- and nanoscales. At extremely small scales, the intricate motions and large deformations shown by these biosystems are due to a tipping balance between their structural compliance and the actuating force generated in them. Artificially mimicking such ingenious systems for scientific and engineering applications has been approached through the development and use of different smart materials mostly limited to microscale dimensions. To push the application range down to the nanoscale, we developed a material preparation process that yields a library of nanomagnetic elastomers with high magnetic particle concentrations. Through this process, we have realized a material with the highest magnetic
