Dear colleagues,

You are cordially invited to the "Center for solid state physics and new materials" seminar, which will be held on Wednesday, November 15th 2023 at 13:30, in the library reading room “Dr Dragan Popović" of the Institute of Physics Belgrade.

The talk entitled: "Multiferroic Materials: Exploring Applications and Advancements"

will be given by Prof. dr. Raneesh Balakrishnan, Department of Physics, Catholicate College, Pathanamthitta, Kerala, India.

Abstract:

Multiferroic materials exhibit simultaneous ferroelectric and magnetic orderings, opening up intriguing opportunities for advanced electronics. The utilization of composite strategies has been extensively employed in the development of magnetoelectric multiferroic materials, leading to enhanced performance characteristics. The polymer-based multiferroic nanocomposite shows high flexibility and room-temperature magnetoelectric effects.  Introducing magnetic nanoparticles into highly piezoelectric polymers results in multifunctional materials with enhanced magnetoelectric properties, prevalent in the realm of flexible electronic devices. Apart from the magnetoelectric property, the nanocomposites are capable of harvesting energy from mechanical stimuli.  Recent developments in the PVDF- based composites have demonstrated their potential in antimicrobial efficiency, wound healing, tissue regeneration, self-powered implantables and wearable devices. These systems will be a bridge between multifunctionality, multiferroic properties and biocompatibility.

Best regards,

Novica Paunović
