When a magnetic field is applied, the elastic modulus of a magnetic polyurethane elastomer increases by a factor of 277 of the off-field modulus. The elastomer exhibits high fracture strain and maintains the giant magnetoelasticity under air for more than half a year.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
