Composite magnetorheological elastomers as dielectrics for plane capacitors: Effects of magnetic field intensity

Year: 2016

Type: article

Abstract: The fabrication of composite magnetorheological elastomers (MRECs) based on silicone rubber, carbonyl iron microparticles (10% vol.) and polyurethane elastomer doped with 0%, 10% and 20% volume concentration TiO 2 microparticles is presented. The obtained MRECs have the shape of thin foils and are used as dielectric materials for manufacturing plane capacitors. Using the plane capacitor method and expression of capacitance as a function of magnetic field intensity, combined with linear elasticity theory, the static magnetoelastic model of the composite is obtained and analyzed.
