In this study, magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) were synthesized using silicone rubber (SR) as the matrix element interspersed with 70 weight percent of corroded carbonyl iron particles (CIPs). The CIPs were corroded in dilute hydrochloric acid (HCl) for 4 hours. The rheological properties related to MR effect were experimentally examined in the absence and presence of magnetic field at various current using a rheometer. The experimental results depicted the MR effect of the MRE with corroded CIPs decreased one-half, 27% as compared to the non-corroded samples, 58%. The correlation between the purity of CIPs and storage modulus of MR elastomer is examined in this study.

This study introduces a sucrose acetate isobutyrate (SAIB) as an additive of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) to be added in silicone rubber matrix and carbonyl iron particles (CIPs) as their filler. The CIPs were fixed at 60 wt% and two types of MREs sample were fabricated which are isotropic and anisotropic. Rheological properties related to shear storage modulus were measured using a rheometer (MCR 302, Anton Paar). The experimental results demonstrated that the magnetorheological (MR) effect of anisotropic MREs-based Silicone/SAIB was 126 % as compared to isotropic MREs-based Silicone/SAIB, 64%. The fabricated MREs samples were frequency and strain dependent. The relative MR effect for both samples showed decreasing trend with the increment of strain amplitude and excitation frequency.

This paper presents two kinds of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). One is composed of appropriate silicon rubber, carbonyl iron particles and some other materials. It is cured under a strong magnetic field at a room temperature. Its shear modulus change from 0.34MPa at zero magnetic field to 3.34MPa at 1T magnetic field, the relative MR effect reaches 878%. Such high MR effect has not been reported until now. The other is composed by appropriate natural rubber, carbonyl iron particles and some other materials. After the compositions are mixed in a two-roll mill, they are cured under a strong magnetic field according to a temperature profile. The increment of its modulus reaches 3.6MPa, and the relative modulus increment is 133%. Their mechanical properties are also evaluated. All observed results show that the fabricated MREs are utilizable. They have successfully been utilized to adaptive tuned vibration absorbers, which will serve for vibration absorption of vehicles.

Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) were obtained by mixing soft polyurethane and carbonyl-iron particles. The effect of the volume fraction of the ferromagnetic particles on the MREs microstructure and properties, as well as their arrangement in relation to the external magnetic field were investigated. As a ferromagnetic component carbonyl–iron powder, with particle size from 6-9µm, was used. The amount of the carbonyl iron particles was varied from 1.5 to 33.0 %(v/v). The samples were produced with randomly dispersed and aligned carbonyl iron particles. Scanning electron and light microscopy techniques were used for the MRE microstructure observations. The rheological properties (G’, G’’ and tan δ) of the MRE were tested without and with the application of the magnetic field. It was found that the microstructure of MREs, particularly the amount and arrangement of the carbonyl-iron particles, has a significant influence on their rheological and damping properties.

A kind of magnetorheological elastomers based on polyurethane (PU)/silicone rubber ( Si -rubber) hybrid is fabricated without applying magnetic fields. The MR effect is improved by optimizing preparation conditions, in particular by adjusting PU/Si -rubber ratio, and improving compatibility between PU and Si -rubber. The influences of the preparation condition and the relationship between the microstructure and MR effect of this kind of magnetorheological elastomers are discussed in detail. The results show that this kind of MR elastomers has better MR effect than that of MR elastomers based on pure Si -rubber or PU matrix with same testing conditions. SEM analysis indicates that the former forms a peculiar interpenetrating microstructure in the presence of PU in the matrix. The maximum increase in shear modulus of this kind of MR elastomers can be up to 0.5MPa when exposed to a magnetic field of about 0.2T.

Magnetorheological elastomers are one kind of smart materials which consist of matrix materials and magnetic particles. The mechanical properties of magnetorheological elastomers were controllable under an external magnetic field. Applications of magnetorheological elastomers are limited as a result of their poor magnetorheological effect and mechanical performance, so enhancing the magnetorheological effect of them is critical for their application. Styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene based thermoplastic elastomer was added to natural rubber to fabricate hybrid matrix–based magnetorheological elastomers. Zero modulus of magnetorheological elastomers increased from 0.50 to 0.64 MPa and magnetorheological effect increased from 28.00% to 43.75% with the addition of styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene based thermoplastic elastomer. The contact angle of carbonyl iron particles with the matrix showed that styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene based thermoplastic elastomer can improve the compatibility of carbonyl iron particles with the matrix. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy analysis has been carried out to investigate the internal structure of hybrid matrix–based magnetorheological elastomers.

Materials with novel properties and compounds of intelligent material combinations are a key to innovation in various successful sectors of the global industry as well as for its export. Magnetorheological elastomer materials have interesting physical properties; most of these properties are modified and adapted under the influence of external parameters such as the magnetic field. In this work, an experimental characterization of the magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) loaded with 20% of the iron particles was made. The results showed that the properties of these materials can be modified very selectively and reversibly under the influence of magnetic field, where the stiffness of the material varies depending on the magnetic field intensity that influences the attractive force between iron particles.

In this article, we present the results of investigations of viscoelastic properties of magnetorheological elastomer containing carbonyl iron particles. Frequencies of natural vibrations of three-layered beam, supporting constructions of which are made from aluminum, and the inner layer—from magnetorheological elastomer—are calculated, and the dependence of vibrations on induction of the applied magnetic field is obtained. Nonstationary vibrations of the beam at pulse impact of magnetic field are found.

The aim of the study was to develop an innovative processing method of magnetorheological elastomers (MRE). This method comprises optimization of the MRE structure in the context of their performance in the magnetic field. The influence of the amount of ferromagnetic particles and their arrangement in relation to the external magnetic field was investigated. Urethane magnetorheological elastomers were manufactured using polyurethane gels, supplied by Dow Chemical Company. As the ferromagnetic carbonyl–iron powder with particles size from 6-9)m produced by Fluka was used. The amount of the carbonyl iron particles was varied from 1.5 to 33.0 vol. %. Magnetic field strengths used during the fabrication of MRE were 0.1 and 0.3 T. The samples with particle chains aligned or slopped at 45 degree to the long sample axis were produced. To evaluate the external magnetic field effect on the magnetorheological properties a deflection in the magnetic field was measured. Samples were placed parallel to the magnetic field lines and deflected prior to the application of a magnetic field. After the application of the magnetic field the sample tended to straighten which was measured by displacement sensor. Magnetic field in a range of 0-0.9 T has been applied. Also the compression tests were carried out without and within external magnetic field with the strength of 0.3 T. The experiment showed that application of the magnetic field increases stiffness of the material. The amount of iron particles and their arrangement have influence on the stress-strain curves course.

To improve the mechanical properties and the MR effect of MRE, we use flexible epoxy as the matrix of MRE. It shows that both the mechanical properties and the MR effect of epoxy based MRE improved. At room temperature the highest absolute modulus increase was 203 MPa when the intensity of magnetic field was 0.2T while the carbonyl iron content was 71.4%. Temperature influenced the MR effect. When at -40°C the maximum storage modulus increased more than 2356 MPa and changed with the temperature. Meanwhile, the morphology of the epoxy based MRE was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).

Magnetorheological elastomers (MRE) are increasing in popularity in many applications because of their ability to change stiffness by applying a magnetic field. Instead of liquid-based 1 K and 2 K silicone, thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), based on styrene-butadiene-styrene block copolymers, have been investigated as matrix material. Three different carbonyl iron particles (CIPs) with different surface treatments were used as magneto active filler material. For the sample fabrication, the thermoplastic pressing method was used, and the MR effect under static and dynamic load was investigated. We show that for filler contents above 40 vol.-%, the linear relationship between powder content and the magnetorheological effect is no longer valid. We showed how the SiO2 and phosphate coating of the CIPs affects the saturation magnetization and the shear modulus of MRE composites. A combined silica phosphate coating resulted in a higher shear modulus, and therefore, the MR effect decreased, while coating with SiO2 only improved the MR effect. The highest performance was achieved at low deformations; a static MR effect of 73% and a dynamic MR effect of 126% were recorded. It was also shown that a lower melting viscosity of the TPE matrix helps to increase the static MR effect of anisotropic MREs, while low shear modulus is crucial for achieving high dynamic MR. The knowledge from TPE-based magnetic composites will open up new opportunities for processing such as injection molding, extrusion, and fused deposition modeling (FDM).
