Advanced ferrogels with high magnetic response and wear resistance using carbon nanotubes

Polyacrylamide hydrogel with nickel nanoparticles (ferrogel) have received increasing attention because of their viability in magnetic biosensors, magnetic field sensitive transformers, field-assisted drug deliverers, strain sensors and wearable electronics etc. In traditional ferrogels, wear can destruct durability and magnetic sensitivity, which might make them inept for further functioning. In this work, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were...
