Polymer ferromagnetic

We now discuss the basic features of the RG flow. This amounts to giving a physical interpretation of our general discussion of the dilatation group, and it explains qualitatively the characteristic features like universality, power laws, and scaling observed in a critical system. For a given class of systems (fluids, uniaxial ferromagnets, polymer solutions, etc.) we envisage the space of all Hamiltonians to be parameterized by a microscopic scale and dimensionless...

Several attempts have been made to prepare ferromagnetic polymers. As yet, only a few papers have shown the occurrence of ferromagnetic interaction. Organic ferromagnetic polymers seem to be possible, although there are many problems still to be solved to create magnetic materials. 

In this chapter piezoelectric crystals and polymers ferroelectric and ferromagnetic solids resistance of metals shock-induced electrical polarization electrochemistry elastic-plastic physical properties. 

In this chapter studies of physical effects within the elastic deformation range were extended into stress regions where there are substantial contributions to physical processes from both elastic and inelastic deformation. Those studies include the piezoelectric responses of the piezoelectric crystals, quartz and lithium niobate, similar work on the piezoelectric polymer PVDF, ferroelectric solids, and ferromagnetic alloys which exhibit second- and first-order phase transformations. The resistance of metals has been investigated along with the distinctive shock phenomenon, shock-induced polarization. 

Finally, synthetic metals made of polymeric organic molecules may also show the property of ferromagnetism. Organic materials of this kind were first demonstrated in 1987 by Ovchinnikov and his co-workers at the Institute of Chemical Physics in Moscow. The polymer they used was based on a polydiacetylene backbone, which contains alternating double-single and triple-single bonds between the carbon atoms of the molecule (10.2). 

This highly conjugated molecule was stabilised with nitroxyl biradical side chains. The resulting material had sufficient ferromagnetism that a usable compass needle could be made from it. Despite the success of this demonstration, organic ferromagnetism remains a curiosity. Such polymers are not likely to replace conventional ferromagnetic metals in any application within the foreseeable future. 

New natural polymers based on synthesis from renewable resources, improved recyclability based on retrosynthesis to reusable precursors, and molecular suicide switches to initiate biodegradation on demand are the exciting areas in polymer science. In the area of biomolecular materials, new materials for implants with improved durability and biocompatibility, light-harvesting materials based on biomimicry of photosynthetic systems, and biosensors for analysis and artificial enzymes for bioremediation will present the breakthrough opportunities. Finally, in the field of electronics and photonics, the new challenges are molecular switches, transistors, and other electronic components molecular photoad-dressable memory devices and ferroelectrics and ferromagnets based on nonmetals. 

Torrance obtained a sample that showed ferromagnetic properties with a high Curie temperature by a reaction of 1,3,5-triaminobenzene with iodine under rather drastic conditions (Torrance et al., 1987). A charge-transfer complex of iodine with an aniline-black-type polymer [32], a heteroatom-containing analogue to [14 ] (Johannsen et al., 1989), may have been...
