Permalloy nanoparticles containing bacterial cellulose hydrogel obtained afterreduction was compressed into a xerogel flexible sheet by hot pressing at 60 ° C atdifferent pressures. The permalloy nanoparticles with an ordered structure have a bimodal sizedistribution centered around 25 nm and 190 nm. The smaller nanoparticles aresuperparamagnetic while the larger particles are ferromagnetic at roomtemperature. The sheets have a room temperature magnetisation of 20 emug-1 anda coercivity of 32Oe. The electricalconductivity of the flexible sheets increases with hot pressing pressure from 7Scm-1 to 40 Scm-1 at room temperature
