A plastic magnet is a non-metallic magnet made from an organic polymer. An example is PANiCNQ, which is a combination of emeraldine-based polyaniline (PANi) and tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ). It was the first magnetic polymer to function at room temperature. PANi is an air stable conductive polymer. It combines with the free radical forming TCNQ as an acceptor molecule to mimic the mechanism of metallic magnets. The magnetic properties is due to the fully pi-conjugated nitrogen-containing backbone combined with molecular charge transfer side groups. These properties cause the molecule to have a high density of localised spins that can give rise to coupling of their magnetic fields. When a polymer magnet is synthesized, the polymer chains need a long time to line up before displaying any notable magnetism. Plastic magnets could have uses in computer hardware, for example as disc drives and in medical devices such as pacemakers and cochlear implants where the organic material is more likely to be biocompatible than its metallic counterpart. Plastic magnets are affected by light; blue light will increase a magnet's magnetic field and green light will decrease it.

Examples of non magnets?
Examples of non magnets are wood, petroleum, oxygen, etc.
Do magnets have glue in them?
Magnets do not have any glue in them.
Why do washing machines have magnets?
It is there so that if you have some metal or metallic objects left on your clothes they would not clog the drain
What is the difference between a permanent and non permanent magnet?
Permanent magnets are bar magnets or horse shoe magnets which has magnetism at all times. But non permanent also known as temporary magnets are usually electromagnets which would have magnetism only when current flows through the coil that surrounds it.
Can magnets work on the following materials water wood and plastic?
Water, wood, and plastic are all non-magnetic. Magnets will not attract them.
Why magnets attract with iron?
because magnets attracts any object that is metallic or has metal in them
Is diamond attracted to a magnet?
No, carbon is non-metallic and not attracted to magnets.
Is halite nonmetallic or metallic?
Halite is non-metallic. You can tell because any mineral that you can partially see through it is non-metallic . . . metallic are only minerals that look like metal.
Is neutral oxide metallic or non metallic?
Non-metallic
What are the two main types of luster?
Metallic and non-metallic
Is halite metallic or non metallic?
The mineral halite is non-metallic.
Is Copper slag is metallic or non-metallic?
It is a mixture - partially metallic and partially non-metallic
Is kaolin metallic or non metallic?
Non metallic, kaolin is a clay mineral.
What is neon - metallic or non-metallic?
Neon is a noble gas and thus non-metallic.
What things can be magnetized?
Magnets stick to a magnet or things that has iron in it
Is sandstone a non-metallic mineral?
Sandstone, like any other kind of rock, is a non-metallic mineral. There are some kinds of rocks which have metal in them, which can be extracted by various techniques, but the rock itself is not metallic.
Are magnets living?
No, most permanent magnets are made of Iron or NIckel compounds. They are inorganic metals or metallic compounds.
