Provided is a magnetic recording medium that is able to achieve both an improvement in electromagnetic conversion characteristics and ensuring of high long-term reliability. The magnetic recording medium includes a magnetic layer and a base. The magnetic layer includes magnetic powders including ε-iron oxide. A ratio (Hrp/Hc) of residual coercivity (Hrp) measured in a perpendicular direction of the magnetic recording medium with use of a pulse magnetic field to perpendicular coercivity (Hc) of the magnetic recording medium is 2.0 or less. Saturation magnetization (Mst) per unit area of the magnetic recording medium is 4.5 mA or greater.

The present invention relates to a method of fabricating a programmable and/or reprogrammable magnetic soft device having a Young's modulus of less than 500 MPa in a part of the device. The invention further relates to an untethered programmable and/or reprogrammable, in particular 3D, magnetic soft device having a part with Young's modulus of less than 500 MP, to a method of encoding a programmable and/or reprogrammable magnetic soft device, and to a use of a programmable and/or reprogrammable magnetic soft device.

A method of making a flexible magnetized sheet is provided. The method may comprise the steps of (1) using cold extrusion to produce a highly viscous fluid magnetizable sheet, (2) passing the sheet through a magnetic field to create an uncured magnetized sheet, and (3) curing the sheet with electron beam curing. The fluid mixture may comprise magnetizable particles with a random charge orientation and an acrylic resin. The components of the mixture are cool when passed through an extrusion die. The extruded fluid sheet allows for the sheet to be magnetized and then, instead of curing by cooling, cured by the bombardment of electrons via an electron beam (EB) generator. The method can eliminate the heat of extrusion and can allow for more freedom of orientation because the sheet does not cure until it reaches the electron beam curing station.

Compositions including hard magnetic photoresists, soft photoresists, hard magnetic elastomers and soft magnetic elastomers are provided.
