This paper investigated the effects of petroleum-based oils (PBOs) as a dispersing aid on the physicochemical characteristics of natural rubber (NR)-based magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). The addition of PBOs was expected to overcome the low performance of magnetorheological (MR) elastomers due to their inhomogeneous dispersion and the mobility of magnetic particles within the elastomer matrix. The NR-based MREs were firstly fabricated by mixing the NR compounds homogeneously with different ratios of naphthenic oil (NO), light mineral oil (LMO), and paraffin oil (PO) to aromatic oil (AO), with weight percentage ratios of 100:0, 70:30, 50:50, and 30:70, respectively. From the obtained results, the ratios of NO mixed with low amounts of AO improved the material physicochemical characteristics, such as thermal properties. Meanwhile, LMO mixed the AO led to the best results for curing characteristics, microstructure observation, and magnetic properties of the MREs. We found that the LMO mixed with a high content of AO could provide good compatibility between the rubber molecular and magnetic particles due to similar chemical structures, which apparently enhance the physicochemical characteristics of MREs. In conclusion, the 30:70 ratio of LMO:AO is considered the preferable dispersing aid for MREs due to structural compounds present in the oil that enhance the physicochemical characteristics of the NR-based MREs.

The Creation

We describe two different systems, the first one based on a magnetorheological elastomer and the second one on magnetic particles inside a liquid crystal. In both system we manage to have chain structures with particles that are not in contact. The effect of the gap between particles on the viscoelastic properties are studied. We show in particular how in magnetorheological elastomers, the energy dissipation is closely related to the creation and the motion of cavities in the gap between the particles. In liquid crystal chaining of particles can occur without applying a magnetic field. This happens if the anchoring of liquid crystal on the surface of the particles is homeotropic. We demonstrate how the combination of elastic defects and of a magnetic field allow to obtain microscopic springs made of a pair of magnetic spheres.

Ferromagnetic Particles

A magnetorheological elastomer (MRE) is comprised of ferromagnetic particles aligned in a polymer medium by exposure to a magnetic field. The structures of the magnetic particles within elastomers are very sensitive to the external stimulus of either mechanical force or magnetic field, which result in multiresponse behaviors in a MRE. In this study, the sensing properties of MREs are investigated through experimentally characterizing the electrical properties of MRE materials and their interfaces with external stimulus (magnetic field or stress/strain). A phenomenological model is proposed to understand the impedance response of MREs under mechanical loads and magnetic fields. Results show that MRE samples exhibit significant changes in measured values of impedance and resistance in response to compressive deformation, as well as the applied magnetic field.

Mechanical Actuation

Magneto-active elastomers (also called magnetorheological elastomers) are most often used in vibration attenuation application due to their ability to increase in shear modulus under a magnetic field. These shear-stiffening materials are generally comprised of soft-magnetic iron particles embedded in a rubbery elastomer matrix. More recently researchers have begun fabricating MAEs using hard-magnetic particles such as barium ferrite. Under the influence of uniform magnetic fields these hard-magnetic MAEs have shown large deformation bending behaviors resulting from magnetic torques acting on the distributed particles and consequently highlight their ability for use as remotely powered actuators. Using the magnetic-torque-driven hard-magnetic MAE materials and an unfilled silicone elastomer, this work develops novel composite geometries for actuation and locomotion. MAE materials are fabricated using 30% v/v 325 mesh barium ferrite particles in Dow Corning HS II silicone elastomers. MAE materials are cured in a 2T magnetic field to create magnetically aligned (anisotropic) materials as confirmed by vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Gelest optical encapsulant is used as the uniflled elastomer material. Mechanical actuation tests of cantilevers in bending and of accordion folding structures highlight the ability of the material to perform work in moderate, uniform fields of μ0H = 150 mT. Computational simulations are developed for comparison. Folding structures are also investigated as a means to produce untethered locomotion across a flat surface when subjected to an alternating field similar to scratch drive actuators; geometries investigated show promising results.

Silane Coupling

Magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) is known as an intelligent material constituted of a rubber matrix as well as soft magnetic particles. Silane coupling agents are used to raise the interplay between the inorganic particles and rubber matrix. Silane coupling agent, bis-[-3-(trimethylsilyl propyl)tetra sulfide] (Si69), was picked for comparison of its reinforcing efficiency in the MRE with various vulcanization systems: a conventional (CV), semi-efficient (semi-EV), and efficient (EV) vulcanization system. The outcome illustrated that not only was there improved Si69 surface hydrophobicity of the magnetic particles, but also enhanced Si69 in the interplay between the rubber matrix and magnetic particles. On one hand, the saturated induced magnetic modulus and zero magnetic field modulus of MRE was increased in the vulcanization system, and the loss factor was reduced after the magnetic particles were modified by Si69. On the other hand, the effect of Si69 on the MRE depended on the vulcanization system. The Si69 provided better enhancements in the EV system due to effects of the sulfur contribution of Si69.

Magnetorheological (MR) materials are a type of magnetoactive smart materials, whose physical or mechanical properties can be altered by applying a magnetic field. In usual, MR materials can be prepared by mixing magnetic particles into non-magnetic matrices. In this work, the electromagnet-induced (or non-uniform magnetic field-induced) normal stress of MR materials is studied. It shows that the stress does not vary monotonically along with the enhancement of the applied magnetic field. There exists a field-dependent reversal effect of the variation of the stress. The reversal effect is thought resulting from that the ratio of interparticle repellent of parallel magnetic particles to the particle-electromagnet attraction gets enlarged along with the enhancement of the field.
