How adding nickel transforms the properties of PDMS
In short: This tutorial from MIT OpenCourseWare demonstrates the process of preparing nickel-doped PDMS. You will see how varying concentrations of dopants can fundamentally alter the material's thermal, electrical, and magnetic characteristics.
The video provides a technical walkthrough of creating nickel-doped polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). By introducing different concentrations of nickel into the polymer, researchers can observe significant shifts in how the composite material responds to heat, electricity, and magnetic fields.
