AI Article Synopsis
- Electrospinning is a technique used to produce nanofibers with diameters ranging from tens to hundreds of nanometers, allowing for the creation of magnetic nanofiber networks through the use of pure polymers, polymer blends, or nanoparticles.
- The study introduces micromagnetic simulations that analyze magnetization reversal mechanisms in randomly oriented nanofiber networks, exploring how neighboring magnetic fibers interact through dipolar effects.
- This research lays the groundwork for applying these stochastic nanofiber networks in the development of neuro-inspired materials.
Article Abstract
Electrospinning can be used to create nanofibers with diameters of typically a few tens to a few hundred nanometers. While pure polymers are often electrospun, it is also possible to use polymer blends or to include nanoparticles. In this way, e.g., magnetic nanofiber networks can be created with a certain diameter distribution, random fiber orientations, and random crossing positions and angles. Here we present for the first time micromagnetic simulations of small parts of stochastically oriented nanofiber networks. Magnetization reversal mechanisms are investigated for different local spatial distributions; mutual influences of neighboring magnetic fibers due to dipolar interactions are depicted. This study serves as a base for the possible use of such stochastic nanofiber networks in the research area of neuro-inspired materials.
