Burn‐Safe Biodegradable Magnetocaloric Composites for Temperature‐Controlled Biomedical Applications
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This work investigates a magnetocaloric (Mn,Fe)2(P,Si) compound tailored for precise, self‐regulating heating in biomedical use. With a Curie temperature tuned at 43 °C, it enables therapeutic activation without overheating. Encapsulation in a composite ensures controlled temperature rise under an alternating magnetic field (AMF), with high ...
