Cellulose-based magnetoelectric composites.

ABSTRACT: Since the first magnetoelectric polymer composites were fabricated more than a decade ago, there has been a reluctance to use piezoelectric polymers other than poly(vinylidene fluoride) and its copolymers due to their well-defined piezoelectric mechanism and high piezoelectric coefficients that lead to superior magnetoelectric coefficients of >1 V cm^-1 Oe^-1. This is the current situation despite the potential for other piezoelectric polymers, such as natural biopolymers, to bring unique, added-value properties and functions to magnetoelectric composite devices. Here we demonstrate a cellulose-based magnetoelectric laminate composite that produces considerable magnetoelectric coefficients of ≈1.5 V cm^-1 Oe^-1, comprising a Fano resonance that is ub
