Spin crossover particle shielding upon grinding in thermoplastic polyurethane composites

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Ball milling experiments were conducted on spin crossover (SCO) powder and SCO@polyurethane composite samples. The study reveals that the presence of the TPU matrix acts as a shield for the SCO particles upon grinding, precluding their deactivation. This result is encouraging for the integration of SCO materials into devices.
