Abstract
The present disclosure provides compositions and methods related to a flexible ferromagnetic stator. A composition comprises a curable silicon-containing composition comprising an organosiloxane compound and a curing agent/cross-linker and a plurality of magnetic particulates. The composition upon curing in a mold forms an elastomeric ferromagnetic stator that is capable of generating a magnetic field, which can improve electrical motor performance and reduce energy consumption when used in couple with a counterpart rotary component.
Claims16
A method of making a flexible stator, comprising:
- preparing a mixture by mixing a curable silicon-containing composition and a plurality of magnetic particulate, wherein the curable silicon-containing composition comprises an organosiloxane compound and a curing agent/cross-linker, wherein the organosiloxane compound is from 20 wt % to 80 wt % based on the total weight of the mixture;
- pouring the mixture into a mold or sheet;
- and
- curing the mixture, thereby forming a stator, wherein the magnetic particulates are distributed in the stator, and wherein the stator is ferromagnetic.
