Abstract

The invention relates to a method for forming a body comprising a particle structure fixated in a matrix material, comprising—Providing an amount of particles,—Providing a viscous matrix material to include said particles—Forming a particle structure of at least a portion of said amount of particles—Fixating said viscous matrix so as to fixate said particle structure in the matrix material characterised by at least a portion of said amount of particles being paramagnetic or ferromagnetic, and the formation of the particle structure includes the steps of: - Subjecting the particles to a first field, so as to arrange at least a portion of said particles into particle assemblies, each particle assembly comprising a plurality of particles and extending along a flux direction of said first field, and—Subjecting the particle assemblies to a second field, so as to move and/or rotate said particle assemblies along a flux direction of said second field,—wherein one of said first and second fields is a magnetic field, and the other of said first and second fields is an electric field, or a magnetic field having a different flux direction than said one magnetic field. The invention also relates to a body obtained by said method, and to the use of said method in various applications.
