Recent progress on the magnetorheological plastomers

International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2015
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 MR plastomers exhibit higher MR effects and lower sedimentation ...

Transfer of Energy and Momentum Between Magnetoactive Surface Microstructure and a Solid Object

Advanced Engineering Materials, Volume 28, Issue 6, 18 March 2026.
We demonstrate that magnetoactive multilamellar arrays subjected to a rotating magnetic field can function as platforms for controlled transport of physical objects. Through systematic experimental investigation, we elucidate the underlying physical mechanisms determining the upper limit of the achievable transportation speed in such magnetic “conveyor‐

Magnetic Field Induced Surface Micro-Deformation of Magnetorheological Elastomers for Roughness Control

Frontiers in Materials, 2018
In this work, we propose mesoscopic model to investigate the surface micro structures of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) under a magnetic field. By comparing the surface roughness changes of MREs, we found that the surface micro-deformation of MREs,

A Folding Magnetic Soft Sheet Robot With Real‐Time Reconfigurable Magnetization for Targeted Drug Delivery

SmartBot, Volume 2, Issue 1, March 2026.
Magnetic robots have the characteristics of small size, non‐cable drive and motion agility, but multi‐angle folding and real‐time reconfigurable magnetization are difficult to be integrated into small‐sized soft structures. Here, the authors propose a magnetic soft sheet robot based on the dynamic magnetization characteristics of magnetorheological ...

Micropatterned Surfaces with Unidirectional Wetting Properties for Liquid Transport

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Micropatterned surfaces that guide droplets in a single direction are gaining attention for their role in liquid transport. This review explores how surface designs enable such behavior, from gravity‐driven flow to stimulus‐responsive movement. It also discusses fabrication techniques, design challenges, and emerging strategies to advance directional ...

Advances in Bioinspired Interfacial Adhesion with Frictional Enhancement: From Fundamental Research to Biomimetic Applications

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 2, February 2026.
Biological models in nature reveal remarkable friction‐adhesion mechanisms, driven by intermolecular forces and suction. Researchers leverage these principles to design advanced materials with enhanced adhesion properties. By optimizing these materials under stimuli like light and electricity, new solutions emerge for regulating interface interactions ...

Magnetorheological Elastomers Containing Ionic Liquids

, 2011
The term ionic liquid (IL) refers to a class of liquids that are composed solely of ions1. It is a synonym for molten salt. IL in a narrow sense often indicates room-temperature ionic liquid (RIL) that exists as a liquid at room temperature. Ionic liquids (ILs), which have been widely promoted as “green solvents”, are attracting much attention for ...
