Magnetic composites: from printed, self-healable and eco-sustainable magnetoelectronics to smart magnetic soft robots

In this lecture for magnetism students, I will cover the following topics: magnetic composites (i.e., mixtures of polymers and magnetic particles); flexible magnetoelectronics; printed magnetoelectronics; eco-sustainable magnetics; magnetic actuation (including locomotion). The aim is to provide an overview of new application scenarios of magnetic materials prepared in the form of composites for hingeless ultrafast actuators and printed magnetic field sensors. The lecture should stimulate activities on the realization of eco-sustainable magnetics including biodegradable and biocompatible magnetic field sensors.
