A few rheological aspects regarding magnetic field induced nanostructure alignment in soft materials

Paper i proceeding, 2025

Controlling nanostructure orientation in soft materials is central for multifunctional materials. Here, we refer a novel orientation method using a magnetic field inside a Halbach-array capable of arbitrary long-range orientation in soft matter systems. We examine some early evidence of the critical role of rheology in facilitating orientation inside the Halbach array and preserving it for further curing.
