Degradable Magnetic Composites from Recycled NdFeB Magnets for Soft Actuation and Sensing
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.This work presents a degradable soft magnetic composite made from recycled NdFeB particles embedded in a gelatin‐based organogel. The material is processed into magnetic sensors and soft robotic components, which can later be dissolved in a green solvent to recover NdFeB magnetic particles.
