It is worth noting that researchers in applied magnetism have worked with glass-coated microwires for decades [1-4]. Magnetic microwires are proposed for applications in many industries including: microelectronics, sensorics, security electronic surveillance, medicine, aerospace, energy harvesting/conversion, home entertainment, electrical engineering, magnetic memories, composites monitoring and more. Trends regarding these applications have been reported in several recent review papers [5-10]. One of the main applications for composites is in nondestructive monitoring of stress and temperature.
