a Schematic illustration of bulk Ag–Ni particle/polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composites without and with magnetic self-assembly for measuring the through-plane and in-plane thermal conductivity. b Through-plane thermal conductivity as a function of Ag–Ni particle concentration without and with magnetic self-assembly. The error bars represent the standard deviation. c Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of bulk composites without and with magnetic self-assembly. A magnified SEM image and an energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS) image showing the vertically aligned Ag–Ni particles are also included. Scale bars, 40 μm. d In-plane thermal conductivity as a function of Ag–Ni particle concentration without and with magnetic self-assembly. The error bars represent the standard deviation. e Strain–stress curves of bare PDMS and magnetically self-assembled Ag–Ni particle/PDMS composites with different Ag–Ni particle concentrations.
