Rheology of uncured magnetorheological elastomers
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020 Abstract The aim of this paper is to study rheological properties of uncured magnetorheological elastomers comprising iron particles dispersed in silicon elastomer in relation to particle rearrangement by external magnetic field into oriented structures as this process is strongly affected by viscosity.

A Smart Fluid‐Hydraulic System Based on MRF Valve Control and Its Application in Flexible Grasping
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study introduces a smart fluid hydraulic system using MRF valve control for flexible gripping. An MRF‐MSV with an integrated excitation coil and micro‐textured damping channels is designed and validated; micro‐texturing increases hydraulic resistance. Coupled with a soft actuator, the MRF‐MSV enables dynamic bending and grasping.
