Abstract
The present invention relates to magnetorheological elastomers comprising at least one non-magnetizable elastomeric carrier medium and magnetizable particles contained therein and also to the use thereof. In the case of MREs of this type, the mechanical properties, such as the rigidity modulus, can be changed reversibly by an applied magnetic field.
Claims17
A magnetorheological elastomer comprising at least one non-magnetisable elastomeric carrier medium and magnetisable particles contained therein, wherein the at least one elastomeric carrier medium is an elastomer selected from silicone and polyurethane which has a rigidity modulus<250 kPa measured at 10 Hz and a deformation of 1%.
