Preparation and characterization of 3D collagen materials with magnetic properties

In this study 3D collagen materials with magnetic properties were prepared by lyophilization technique. Magnetic particles were synthesized by precipitation of iron (II) sulfate heptahydrate and iron (III) chloride hexahydrate in an aqueous solution of chitosan and then added to a collagen solution. Starch dialdehyde (DAS) was used as a cross-linking agent for the materials. The properties of the obtained materials were studied using infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Additionally, mechanical properties, porosity, density, swelling and moisture content were measured.It was found that 3D composites made from collagen with magnetic particles are hydrophilic with a high swelling ability. Cross-linking of such collagen materials with dialdehyde starch (DAS) alters the swelling degree, porosity and density of materials. The addition of magnetic particles to collagen materials decreases its porosity, and increases the density of the studied materials. Collagen 3D materials with magnetic particles are rigid and inflexible. Magnetic properties of the 3D collagen materials containing magnetic particles were confirmed by the interaction of this material with a magnet.

Novel highly elastic magnetic materials for dampers and seals: Part I. Preparation and characterization of the elastic materials

The new generation of magnetic elastomers represents a new type of composites, consisting of small (mainly nano and micron‐sized) magnetic particles dispersed in a highly elastic polymeric matrix. The combination of polymers with magnetic materials displays novel and often enhanced properties. Highly elastic magnetic composites are quite new and understanding of the behavior of these materials depending on the composition, external conditions, and the synthesis processes is still missing. Thus, the aim of this work is the study of fundamental principles governing the preparation of these materials as well as their structure and elastic properties.

Effect of a homogeneous magnetic field on the mechanical behavior of soft magnetic elastomers under compression

The mechanical properties of new magnetic composite materials were studied. The above materials represent rubbery silicon matrices filled with magnetic microparticles of metallic iron or magnetite. In homogeneous magnetic fields with an intensity of up to 0.4 T, the shear modulus of the composites was abnormally high (up to 10 000%). The variation of elastic properties of new materials on the type and volume content of the magnetic filler was investigated. In the presence of a sufficiently strong magnetic field, the above composites were shown to behave as elastoplastic materials with strengthening.     

Playing with organic radicals as building blocks for functional molecular materials

The literature has shown numerous contributions on the synthesis and physicochemical properties of persistent organic radicals but there are a lesser number of reports about their use as building blocks for obtaining molecular magnetic materials exhibiting an additional and useful physical property or function.

An additional section reporting switchable materials based on these radicals is presented (257 references).

Study of Graphdiyne-based Magnetic Materials

Carbon-based magnetic semiconductors are easy to be modified with low cost and low power consumption.While they can demonstrate robust long-range magnetic ordering and show great potential for application after introducing magnetic moments.Graphdiyne(GDY),as an allotrope of carbon,exhibits intrinsic semiconductor properties and paramagnetic properties due to its unique structure and the presence of sp carbon.To improve the magnetic properties of GDY and prepare excellent magnetic semiconductor materials,scientists have done a lot of related research work.The most direct and effective method to introduce magnetism is heteroatom doping.In this review,we have entirely described the latest GDY magnetism introduction methods,effects,and theoretical calculations,etc.Doping methods include post-doping and molecular design doping.The doping elements have covered non-metallic elements(N,H,F,Cl,S),metallic elements(Fe),and functional groups.The magnetic properties of the modified GDY materials were studied by experimental analysis and theoretical calculations.This review provides a sufficient basis and direction for related researches.     

Utilization of Ferromagnetic Fluids in Mineral Processing and Water Treatment

The paper is devoted to the utilization of ferrofluid as a separating medium and modifying agent affecting the magnetic properties of solid and liquid materials. The separation tests in a MHS separator have been carried out under laboratory condition. The selectivity of ferrofluid's adsorption to the surface of some materials can be used for enhancing the magnetic susceptibility and influencing the efficiency of separation process. The enhancement of magnetic susceptibility of oil products up to a level sufficient for their magnetic extraction from water is possible by admixing of a definite amount of kerosene-based ferrofluid, which is non-miscible with water. The results point to the fact that the MHS method is suitable for the separation of non-magnetic materials according to their density and the modification of magnetic properties of materials by ferrofluid enhancing their magnetic separability.     

Design magnetischer Materialien: Chemie der Magnete

The field of molecular based magnetism is an active area of research directed toward the design of new magnetic materials. The idea is to introduce molecular strategies in magneto-chemistry. This can open completely new synthetic routes to materials with previously unknown physical properties. Spin carriers used within this approach range from purely organic radicals to metal complexes and organometallic compounds. The design of new magnetic materials with tailor-made properties requires a detailed knowledge about the interactions between possible spin carriers and the strategies necessary to achieve interactions in all three dimensions. The latter is closely related to the field of crystal engineering. Starting from introductory remarks to magnetochemistry the underlaying concepts for the design of magnetic materials on the basis of molecular compounds as well as new developments and possible applications are described.     

A look at molecular nanosized magnets from the aspect of inter-molecular interactions

Nanosized molecular magnetic materials such as single-molecule magnets and single-chain magnets are recent attractive research targets in the fields of materials chemistry and physics, not only because of their fundamental fascination, but also because of their potential applications as ultimate memory devices or in quantum computations. In this paper, we give our personal perspectives on these materials. In particular "magnetic assemblies of single-molecule magnets", in which inter-molecular interaction is an essential factor in determining their properties, will be focused on together with related compounds reported recently.     

Development of Ferromagnetic Materials Containing Co2P,Fe2P Phases from Organometallic Dendrimers Precursors

The development of synthesis methods to access advanced materials, such as magnetic materials that combine multimetallic phosphide phases, remains a worthy research challenge. The most widely used strategies for the synthesis of magnetic transition metal phosphides (TMPs) are organometallic approaches. In this study, Fe-containing homometallic dendrimers and Fe/Co-containing heterometallic dendrimers were used to synthesize magnetic materials containing multimetallic phosphide phases. The crystalline nature of the nearly aggregated particles was indicated for both designed magnetic samples. In contrast to heterometallic samples, homometallic samples showed dendritic effects on their magnetic properties. Specifically, saturation magnetization (M_s) and coercivity (H_c) decrease as dendritic generation increases. Incorporating cobalt into the homometallic dendrimers to prepare the heterometallic dendrimers markedly increases the magnetic properties of the magnetic materials from 60 to 75 emu/g. Ferromagnetism in homometallic and heterometallic particles shows different responses to temperature changes. For example, heterometallic samples were less sensitive to temperature changes due to the presence of Co₂P in contrast to the homometallic ones, which show an abrupt change in their slopes at a temperature close to 209 K, which appears to be related to the Fe₂P ratios. This study presents dendrimers as a new type of precursor for the assembly of magnetic materials containing a mixture of iron- and cobalt-phosphides phases with tunable magnetism, and provides an opportunity to understand magnetism in such materials.     

Recent advances in synthesis and applications of transition metal containing mesoporous molecular sieves

Work in mesoporous silica-based materials began in the early 1990s with work by Mobil. These materials had pore sizes from 20-500 A and surface areas of up to 1500 m(2) g(-1) and were synthesized by a novel liquid crystal templating approach. Researchers subsequently extended this strategy to the synthesis of mesoporous transition metal oxides, a class of materials useful in catalysis, electronic, and magnetic applications because of variable oxidation states, and populated d-bands-features not found in silicates. These materials are already showing promise in electronic and optical applications hinging on the semiconducting properties of transition metal oxides and their potential to act as electron acceptors, an important feature in the design of cathodic materials. This is the first general review of non-silicate mesoporous materials and will focus on recent advances in this area, emphasizing materials possessing unique electronic, magnetic, or optical properties. Also covered are advances in the synthesis and applications of mesostructured sulfides as well as a new class of template-synthesized platinum-based materials that show promise in heterogeneous catalysis.     

Ground- and excited-state properties of inorganic solids from full-potential density-functional calculations

The development in theoretical condensed-matter science based on density-functional theory (DFT) has reached a level where it is possible, from “parameter-free” quantum mechanical calculations to obtain total energies, forces, vibrational frequencies, magnetic moments, mechanical and optical properties and so forth. The calculation of such properties are important in the analyses of experimental data and they can be predicted with a precision that is sufficient for comparison with experiments. It is almost impossible to do justice to all developments achieved by DFT because of its rapid growth. Hence, it has here been focused on a few advances, primarily from our laboratory. Unusual bonding behaviors in complex materials are conveniently explored using the combination of charge density, charge transfer, and electron-localization function along with crystal-orbital Hamilton-population analyses. It is indicated that the elastic properties of materials can reliably be predicted from DFT calculations if one takes into account the structural relaxations along with gradient corrections in the calculations. Experimental techniques have their limitations in studies of the structural stability and pressure-induced structural transitions in hydride materials whereas the present theoretical approach can be applied to reliably predict properties under extreme pressures. From the spin-polarized, relativistic full-potential calculations one can study novel materials such as ruthenates, quasi-one-dimensional oxides, and spin-, charge-, and orbital-ordering in magnetic perovskite-like oxides. The importance of orbital-polarization correction to the DFT to predict the magnetic anisotropy in transition-metal compounds and magnetic moments in lanthanides and actinides are emphasized. Apart from the full-potential treatment, proper magnetic ordering as well as structural distortions have to be taken into account to predict correctly the insulating behavior of transition-metal oxides. The computational variants LDA and GGA fail to predict insulating behavior of Mott insulators whereas electronic structures can be described correctly when correlation effects are taken into account through LDA+U or similar approaches to explain their electronic structures correctly. Excited-state properties such as linear optical properties, magneto-optical properties, XANES, XPS, UPS, BIS, and Raman spectra can be obtained from accurate DFT calculations.     

Smart nanocomposite polymer gels

The combination of polymers with nanomaterials displays novel and often enhanced properties compared to the traditional materials. They can open up possibilities for new technological applications. The magnetic polymer gel represents a new type of composites consisting of small magnetic particles, usually from the nanometer range to the micron range, dispersed in a highly elastic polymeric gel matrix. Combination of magnetic and elastic properties leads to a number of striking phenomena that are exhibited in response to impressed magnetic fields. Giant deformational effects, high elasticity, anisotropic properties, temporary reinforcement and quick response to magnetic field open new opportunities for using such materials for various applications.
