Abstract

Films with anisotropic electric properties were created by a processing technique that produces an alignment of μm sized iron particles in a polymer film. The magnetic aligning process was observed to create a formation of iron particle columns parallel to the aligning magnetic field. The degree of alignment can be quantified by measurements of the electrical impedance.
