Abstract

The present work deals with the preparation and fundamental characterization of Ni–Mn–Ga/PU polymer composites. The magnetic behavior and surface morphology of these composites have been studied by the vibration sample magnetometer and scanning electron microscope respectively. Thermal characterization has been carried out by differential scanning calorimetry.
