Abstract
Magnetoactive tissues are prepared from a mixture of silicone oil (SO) and various volume concentrations Φ of carbonyl iron (CI) microparticles impregnated in a cotton cloth. The obtained tissues are examined as dielectric materials for manufacturing electrical capacitors. By using the plane capacitor method, we show that the relative dielectric permittivity, apparent viscosity, modulus of elasticity, and the components of deformations and of mechanical tensions can be sensibly influenced by an external magnetic field and by Φ. These effects make the obtained tissues versatile candidates for applications which require textiles consisting of conductive fillers, powders, yarns etc. embedded into non-conductive fabric fibers and with pre-established strength and flexibility. An immediate application is in fabrication of magnetic field sensors for detection of magnetic flux densities in the range 40÷180 mT.
