A hybrid magnetorheological elastomer developed by encapsulation of magnetorheological fluid

A new hybrid MR elastomer was fabricated by encapsulating a magnetorheological fluid (MR fluid) within a UV-curable silicone elastomer. A strong magneto-deformation effect was observed where the hybrid MR elastomer changed its shape in the presence of a magnetic field. Furthermore, when a moderately...
