RESUMO
In this work, silicone loaded with magnetic particles is investigated for creating a composite with higher permeability while still maintaining stretchability. Magnetic and mechanical properties are first characterized for composites based on both spherical and platelet particle geometries. The first magnetic-core stretchable inductors are then demonstrated using the resulting ferroelastomer. Solenoid inductors based on liquid metal galinstan are then demonstrated around a ferroelastomeric core and shown to survive uniaxial strains up to 100%. Soft elastomers loaded with magnetic particles were found to increase the core permeability and inductance density of stretchable inductors by nearly 200%.
