Highly lubricative, self-healing, chemically degradable, anti-flaming and anti-irradiating magnetic gels simply prepared from binary mixtures of Fe3O4 nanoparticles and water

Abstract

Magnetic gels are usually organic polymer–inorganic particle hybrids. We show that magnetic gels with high lubricity, self-healing, chemical degradability, and flame and irradiation resistances can be prepared solely with Fe3O4 particles and water.
