In this work, we report macroscopic electromagnetic devices made from conducting polymers. We compare their fundamental properties and device parameters with those of similar devices made from copper wires. By using self-standing supra-ampere conducting polymer wires, we are able to manufacture inductors that generate magnetic fields well over 1 G, and incorporate them in feedback LC oscillators operating at 8.65 MHz. Moreover, by utilizing the unique electrochemical functionality of conducting polymers, we demonstrate electrochemically-tunable electromagnets and electromagnetic chemical sensors. Our findings pave the way to lightweight electromagnetic technologies that can be processed (from water dispersions) using low-temperature protocols into flexible shapes and geometries.

在这项工作中，我们报告了由导电聚合物制成的宏观电磁设备。我们将它们的基本性能和设备参数与由铜线制成的类似设备的基本性能和设备参数进行比较。通过使用独立的超安培导电聚合物导线，我们能够制造出产生超过1 G磁场的电感器，并将其并入工作在8.65 MHz的反馈LC振荡器中。此外，通过利用导电聚合物的独特电化学功能，我们演示了电化学可调电磁体和电磁化学传感器。我们的发现为轻型电磁技术铺平了道路，该技术可以使用低温协议（从水分散体）加工成灵活的形状和几何形状。
