MOLECULE-BASED MAGNETIC POLYMERS

摘要

Molecule-based magnetic polymers and methods of preparing are provided. In particular, a magnetic polymer having repeating units of an electron-donor metallocene-containing monomer covalently bonded to an electron-acceptor monomer having a plurality of unpaired electrons is disclosed. Also disclosed is a magnetic polymer having repeating units of an organometallic monomer covalently bonded to a stable free-radical based monomer. Homogeneous magnetorheological fluids and methods of preparing are also provided. In particular, magnetorheological fluids include a magnetic polymer in a carrier solvent.
