Morphological Analysis of Unstructured and Prestructured Magneto-rheological Elastomer

open access: yesInternational Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology, 2021
Abstract: By providing or not put on a magnetic flux, a magneto rheological (MR) elastomer becomes a very powerful and advanced smart material that could be twisted and responded hurriedly in relations of mechanical strength. They are elastomer materials with embedded iron elements in an elastomer environment.
