Multistable molecular chain magnet in electrospun polymer fibers

Key Points

• To investigate the properties of Ni-Fe molecular chain magnets embedded in electrospun polymer fibers.
• Created electrospun polymer mats with embedded Ni-Fe molecular chain magnets.
• Analyzed thermo- and vapochromic properties of the mats.
• Assessed mechanical robustness of the polymer fibers.
• Embedded magnets showed reversible thermo- and vapochromism.
• The polymer mats demonstrated enhanced mechanical robustness.
