Abstract
In recent years a great interest in the study of the association of
magnetic with biological material for bioapplications has been observed
in the literature. This work analyses the development of new magnetic
biocomposite films from a magnetic ferrite and a biopolymer. Magnetic
and dielectric properties of Y3Fe5O12 (YIG)/collagen composite films
were studied as a function of the YIG concentration. This biocomposite
was also characterized by Infrared Spectroscopy (IR), Thermal Analysis
(DSC and TG) and scanning electron microspcopic (SEM) methods. The
magnetization and dielectric measurements were performed at room
temperature. The results demonstrated that ferrimagnetic garnet (YIG)
and collagen (Col) can be used to obtain a homogeneous composite. All
the composite films showed a ferromagnetic behavior and they were
characterized as a soft magnet material. These results show that Col-YIG
biocomposites are biological films with magnetic properties that can be
employed as a versatile performance materials, due to their flexible
dielectric and magnetic features. They could be used as electronic
devices in biological applications.
