Fabrication and Replication of Unstructured and Prestructured Magnetorheological Elastomer

Abstract

Magneto rheological (MR) elastomer becomes very strenghful and advanced smart material that can be tuned and responded fastly in respect of mechanical properties by an application or without application of magnetic field. These are basically elastomer material in that iron elements are discrete in elastomer matrix. According to use of magnetic flux application at the time of fabrication process they are classified as Isotropic and Anisotropic MR elastomer. The distribution of magnetizable particles in matrix of elastomer are well distinct and arranged with regards to their types. Their morphology had been seen by Scanning Electrons Microscopy (SEM) with their performance been seen by Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis. With their better morphological and mechanical features they can be used to innumerable applications like vibration absorbers, isolators, seismic devicesetc.
