What are the Challenges in the Development of Magnetic Polymers?
Despite their promising applications, magnetic polymers face several challenges:
- Dispersion of Nanoparticles: Achieving a uniform dispersion of magnetic nanoparticles within the polymer matrix is critical for consistent properties and performance. - Interfacial Compatibility: Ensuring strong interaction between the polymer matrix and the magnetic nanoparticles to prevent phase separation and degradation. - Scalability: Developing cost-effective and scalable production methods for industrial applications remains a significant hurdle.
