Exploiting Device Deformability for Fluid and Particle Manipulation

Small, EarlyView.
Deformable devices enable fluid and particle manipulation modes that are inaccessible to rigid platforms. This review examines soft materials and architectures that translate controlled deformation into microscale fluid operations such as pumping, valving, mixing, and particle handling.

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 ...

A Data‐Driven Multiscale Scheme for Anisotropic Finite Strain Magneto‐Elasticity

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Engineering, Volume 127, Issue 12, 30 June 2026.
ABSTRACT In this work, we develop a neural network‐based, data‐driven, decoupled multiscale scheme for the modeling of structured magnetically soft magnetorheological elastomers (MREs). On the microscale, sampled magneto‐mechanical loading paths are imposed on a representative volume element containing spherical particles and an elastomer matrix, and ...

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 nonlinear fractional-order model of soft magnetorheological elastomers for applications in vibration isolation

Journal of Low Frequency Noise, Vibration and Active Control
The magnetically tunable modulus of soft magnetorheological elastomer offers broad applications in vibration control. This material exhibits an obvious Payne effect that the dynamic modulus decreases as the strain amplitude increases.
