Magnetorheological Effect of NDI Polyurethane-Based MR Elastomers

Abstract:

The dynamic magnetorheological (MR) effects of 1,5-Naphthalene diisocyanate (NDI) polyurethane-based MR elastomers were tested by changing excitation frequency, excitation amplitude, magnetic strength, or preload. NDI polyurethane-based elastomers show high dynamic mechanical property, and were used as base material to prepare MR elastomers, whose mechanical performance and dynamic MR effect were tested. The results show that: (1) the prepared NDI polyurethane-based MR elastomers have high mechanical performance and MR effect; (2) their MR effect was reduced with the increase in excitation amplitude or preload, but did not change obviously with the increase in excitation frequency. Therefore, MR elastomer devices should be reasonably designed to maximize MR effect.
