New magnetic polymers

New polymer (organic) materials have been fabricated in which there is sufficient electronic exchange as well as stability, both thermally and chemically, at room temperature and above. This paper gives an overview of the synthesis of promising new complex polymer building blocks which can yield super-paramagnetic materials for magnetic devices. The use of these methods to produce ferri-, para-, and superparamagnetic materials allows form factor, low- temperature processing, and device variations that facilitate their use in a wide variety of applications. New materials from the polysulfide, urethane, silicone, and epoxide classes of materials are explained. Some devices (and their characteristics) made from these materials are discussed.
