Magnetorheological materials based on ethylene-octene elastomer

open access: yesPolimery, 2014
Magnetorheological elastomer composites based on several magnetoactive fillers such as: carbonyl iron powder, gamma iron oxide, microand nano-sized Fe3O4 in ethylene-octene elastomer are reported and studied. To improve the dispersion of the applied fillers in a polymer matrix, ionic liquids were added during the process of composite preparation.

Generality of shear thickening in suspensions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Suspensions are of wide interest and form the basis for many smart fluids. For most suspensions, the viscosity decreases with increasing shear rate, i.e. they shear thin. Few are reported to do the opposite, i.e.

A Three‐Phase Electrostatic Clutch with Variable Mechanical Impedance Control for Soft Robotic Systems

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 45, December 4, 2025.
The research introduces a three‐phase electrostatic (ES) clutch with variable mechanical impedance control, specifically designed to enable continuous and precise friction modulation, thereby reducing both force degradation and oscillatory motion. This method effectively resolves conventional ES clutch issues, such as residual charge accumulation and ...
