https://www.zealpress.com/jms/index.php/jmstr/article/view/647
<p>Magnetoelectric (ME) effects in ferromagnetic-piezoelectric heterostructures manifest themselves as a change in the polarization of the structure in an external magnetic field or a change in magnetization in an electric field. The effects are used to create magnetic field sensors, tunable electronic devices, and n1 ew data processing elements. To ensure the thermal stability of these devices, it is important to understand the temperature dependence of the ME effect characteristics. In this paper, we investigated the direct resonant ME effect in a monolithic heterostructure consisting of a langatate single crystal with FeBSiC amorphous ferromagnet films deposited on its surface. It was shown that heating of the structure from 220 K to 340 K resulted in a decrease in the quality factor of the acoustic resonance followed by a decrease in the ME coefficient. Annealing the structure in the presence of magnetic field led to an enhancement in the ME coefficient, a decrease in the optimal bias field, and improvement in thermal stability of the ME effect.</p>E.

https://www.zealpress.com/jms/index.php/jmstr/article/view/660
<p>This study investigates the magnetocaloric effect of La<sub>0.7</sub>Sr<sub>0.3</sub>Mn<sub>0.95</sub>Ni<sub>0.05</sub>O<sub>3 </sub>manganite, with a primary focus on leveraging the mean-field theory as a powerful tool for analysis. By applying this theoretical framework, alongside the Law of Approach to Saturation (LAS), key parameters such as saturation magnetization (M<sub>o</sub>), total angular momentum (<em>J</em>), gyromagnetic factor (<em>g</em>) , and exchange parameter (λ) were determined. The mean-field theory proved essential for simulating the isothermal magnetization <em>M (H,T)</em> and the magnetic entropy change <em>-∆S<sub>M </sub>(T)</em>curves, providing a comprehensive understanding of the material’s magnetocaloric behavior. Despite its simplifications, the mean-field approach serves as a crucial starting point for modeling complex magnetic systems and offers valuable insights into the material’s thermodynamic properties.</p>Mohamed Hsini

https://www.zealpress.com/jms/index.php/jmstr/article/view/658
<p>This study explores the viability of chicken feather-reinforced thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) composites as environmentally sustainable materials. Chicken feathers, an abundant keratin-rich biowaste generated by the poultry industry, were processed into both powder and fiber forms and subsequently subjected to chemical modification using (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane to enhance interfacial compatibility with the TPU matrix. Four composite formulations were produced via melt compounding, incorporating TPU-to-feather weight ratios of 90:10 and 85:15 for each morphological variant. Standardized test specimens were fabricated and evaluated through tensile, compressive, hardness, and density analyses. Among the formulations, the composite containing 85% TPU and 15% feather fiber exhibited the most favorable mechanical properties. The improved interfacial adhesion was attributed to the dual functional role of the silane coupling agent, which facilitated both covalent and hydrogen bonding at the filler–matrix interface. The findings underscore the potential of chemically treated feather waste as an effective and economical reinforcement for polymeric materials, advancing the development of high-performance, sustainable composites.</p>Sarthak MehtaJens Schuster
