Summary
Polymer-based magnetoelectric (ME) materials have been investigated to find applications in magnetic field sensors, actuators, energy-harvesting devices, filters, oscillators, miniature antennas, memories and biomedical devices, among others. The applicability of polymer-based ME materials as sensors depends on some fundamental characteristics including full-scale (FS) input, sensitivity, linearity, hysteresis, accuracy, repeatability, and resolution [15]. ME sensors can detect static and dynamic magnetic fields. ME actuators can take advantage of the converse ME effect, producing a magnetic field by applying a voltage or the direct ME effect, where a magnetic field causes a deformation in the magnetostrictive materials, which will deform the piezoelectric material resulting in a voltage variation. ME materials are extremely attractive for applications as antennas, similar to the one designed by Wang et al.. The design and characterization of a miniaturized 100MHz antenna based on ME composites was first reported by Petrov et al.
