Magnetic Soft Matter is a rapidly evolving discipline with fundamental and practical interest.
This is due to the fact that its physical properties can be easily controlled through external …

Owing to their unique mechanical flexibility, superior magnetic controllability and good
environmental adaptability, magnetic particles (MPs) filled polymers-based flexible …

Hysteresis in dynamic modulus, loss factor and normal forces of magnetoactive elastomers
(MAEs) comprising various proportions of small (3–5 μm) and large (50–60 μm) …

This chapter introduces composite smart materials known as magnetoactive (MAEs) or
magnetorheological elastomers. It starts by defining these materials and distinguishing them …

Flexible viscoelastic sensors have gained significant attention in wearable devices owing to
their exceptional strain-dependent electrical resistance. Most of the strain sensors are elastic …

The dynamic mechanical properties of magnetorheological plastomers (MRPs) were
investigated by using a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar (SHPB) equipped with an …

The transient response of magnetorheological (MR) materials, in general, is very important
for design consideration in MR-based devices. Better response to magnetic fields is …

Different from the traditional magnetorheological (MR) fluids and elastomers, the magnetic
particles in the plastic MR materials are not 'deadly'trapped in the polymer matrix; thus, the …

Of all the smart materials that can vary with a change in external excitation,
magnetorheological gel (MRG) is one of the most pre-eminent composites, having …

The freezing–thawing method has been commonly used in the preparation of polyvinyl
alcohol hydrogel magnetorheological plastomer (PVA HMRP). However, this method is …
