Electrical and magnetic properties of multilayer polymer structures with nano inclusions as prepared by selective...

Selective laser sintering (SLS) was used to prepare porous polymer nanocomposites comprising of a polycarbonate (PC) matrix doped with 30-50 wt% nano Ni or/and 10-30 wt% nano Cu. The electrical conductivity was measured at f = 1 MHz, bias dc voltage 40 V, and 300-400 K. Magnetic measurements were carried out at r.t. in magnetic fields of up to 10 kOe. Temperature dependence of electrophysical properties was studied for 3D samples derived from PC-Cu powders. Magnetic properties were measured for alternating ferromagnetic/non-magnetic layers with Ni and/or Cu core/polymer shell structures. Temperature dependencies for a real part of a dielectric permeability, loss tangent, and magnetization were found to have a hysteresis character. The structure of sintered items was found to depend of external dc magnetic field.
