Preparation and Mechanics Properties of MR Elastomers Based on Silicone Rubber

Abstract:

MR elastomers, which consisting of silicone rubber and carbonyl iron particles, are prepared under different magnet fields intensity. Their micro-structure and mechanics properties are investigated and compared. Results show that the bearing capacity and stiffness of both MR elastomers will increase when subjected to a magnet field. But the controllable range and comprehensive properties of the MR elastomers prepared with magnet fields are better than what of the MR elastomers prepared without magnet fields.
