A novel Fe(iii)-based gel was synthesized where reported gel would be the first reported metallogel showing magnetocaloric effect. The metallogel also revealed outstanding colourimetric NH3 sensing with unique gel-to-gel transformation.

In this work we investigate magnetocaloric effect and heat capacity of Gd cold rolled ribbons. Such materials are easy to produce, they are flexible and convenient for using in magnetic cooling devices. It is shown that the magnetocaloric effect is strongly dependent on thickness of the ribbons. Severely rolled ribbons demonstrate rather a small magnetocaloric effect. However, a special heat treatment procedure makes it possible to enhance the effect up to the value observed in polycrystalline Gd.

Abstract The magnetocaloric effect in nanosystems based on exchange-coupled ferromagnets with different Curie temperatures is calculated within the mean-field theory. Good agreement between the results of the mean-field theory and the Landau theory, valid near the critical phase transition temperature, is demonstrated for a flat-layered Fe/Gd/Fe structure. We show that a high magnetic cooling efficiency in this system is attainable in principle and prove the validity of the Maxwell relation, enabling an experimental verification of the predictions made. The theory developed for flat-layered structures is generalized to a granular medium.

The successful self-assembly of a stimuli-responsive aqueous supramolecular hyperbranched polymer from small molecules and the macrocyclic host cucurbit[8]uril (CB[8]) is reported. This self-healing supramolecular network can act as a soft matter barrier at liquid–liquid interfaces.

In this work we report the results of investigation of the magnetocaloric effect in Gd100-xYx (x= 0, 5, 10, 15) cold rolled ribbons. It is shown that the magnetocaloric effect exists within a wide temperature interval 258-295 K and it is comparable with the magnetocaloric effect observed in bulk samples of pure gadolinium. The value of the magnetocaloric effect in the rolled samples is reduced in comparison with the bulk samples and strongly depends on a degree of plastic deformation. High temperature heat treatment can restore a value of the magnetocaloric effect in the cold rolled ribbons up to initial ones. Thus, cold rolling is proposed to be a promising technique for producing thin forms of magnetocaloric materials for heat exchangers of magnetic cooling devices.

In this paper we investigate the performances of two bulk magnetocaloric refrigerants based on La(Fe,Co)13-xSix and prepared by powder metallurgy. Both materials were developed especially for a magnetic cooling machine. We have determined the magnetocaloric effect in term of temperature change under magnetic field using a test-bench with practical running conditions. ΔT was measured under 2 T and close to room temperature range. The obtained results will be compared with those of some reference materials reported in the literature. In addition, a composite material based on La(Fe,Co)13-xSix is proposed for magnetic systems using Ericsson and AMR cycles for refrigeration close to room temperature.

An inexpensive, facile, and environmentally benign method has been developed for the preparation of stimuli-responsive and self-healing polyacrylic acid–chitosan-based supramolecular hydrogels. Guanidine hydrochloride is used as the supramolecular crosslinker to form an interconnected network with polyacrylic acid–chitosan complex. Because of the dynamic equilibrium between the hydrogen-bonding sites of the components, the hydrogels were found to be self-healable and sensitive to biochemical-stimulus, such as pH. Controlled loading of drug like doxorubicin and its significant anticancer activity of such hydrogels is worth mentioning.
