Magneto Rheological

Magneto Rheological Elastomers (MREs) are composite materials based on an elastomer filled by magnetic particles. Anisotropic MRE can be easily manufactured by curing the material under homogeneous magnetic field which creates column of particles. The magnetic and elastic properties are actually coupled making these MREs suitable for energy conversion. From these remarkable properties, an energy harvesting device is considered through the application of a DC bias magnetic induction on two MREs as a metal piece is applying an AC shear strain on them. Such strain therefore changes the permeabilities of the elastomers, hence generating an AC magnetic induction which can be converted into AC electrical signal with the help of a coil. The device is simulated with a Finite Element Method software to examine the effect of the MRE parameters, the DC bias magnetic induction and applied shear strain (amplitude and frequency) on the resulting electrical signal.

Magnetic particles have been evaluated for their biomedical applications as a drug delivery system to treat asthma and other lung diseases. In this study, ferromagnetic barium hexaferrite (BaFe12O19) and iron oxide (Fe3O4) particles were suspended in water or glycerol, as glycerol can be 1000 times more viscous than water. The particle concentration was 2.50 mg/mL for BaFe12O19 particle clusters and 1.00 mg/mL for Fe3O4 particle clusters. The magnetic particle cluster cross-sectional area ranged from 15 to 1000 μμm2, and the particle cluster diameter ranged from 5 to 45 μμm. The magnetic particle clusters were exposed to oscillating or rotating magnetic fields and imaged with an optical microscope. The oscillation frequency of the applied magnetic fields, which was created by homemade wire spools inserted into an optical microscope, ranged from 10 to 180 Hz. The magnetic field magnitudes varied from 0.25 to 9 mT. The minimum magnetic field required for particle cluster rotation or oscillation in glycerol was experimentally measured at different frequencies. The results are in qualitative agreement with a simplified model for single-domain magnetic particles, with an average deviation from the model of 1.7 ± 1.3. The observed difference may be accounted for by the fact that our simplified model does not include effects on particle cluster motion caused by randomly oriented domains in multi-domain magnetic particle clusters, irregular particle cluster size, or magnetic anisotropy, among other effects.

Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) based on amorphous Fe-Si-B alloy magnetic particles were prepared. The influence of annealing treatment on stability and rheological property of MRFs was investigated. The saturation magnetization ( Ms) of amorphous Fe-Si-B particles after annealing at 550°C is 131.5 emu/g, which is higher than that of amorphous Fe-Si-B particles without annealing. Moreover, the stability of MRF with annealed amorphous Fe-Si-B particles is better than that of MRF without annealed amorphous Fe-Si-B particles. Stearic acid at 3 wt% was added to the MRF2 to enhance the fluid stability to greater than 90%. In addition, the rheological properties demonstrate that the prepared amorphous particle MRF shows relatively strong magnetic responsiveness, especially when the magnetic field strength reaches 365 kA/m. As the magnetic field intensified, the yield stress increased dramatically and followed the Herschel-Bulkley model.

Objectives: Magnetic drug targeting offers the latest popular alternative option to deliver magnetic drug carriers into targeting region body parts through manipulation of an external magnetic field. However, the effectiveness of using an electromagnetic field to manipulate and directing magnetic particles is yet to be established. Methods: In this paper, a homemade cost-effective electromagnet system was built for the purpose of studying the control and directing the magnetic drug carriers. The electromagnet system was built with four electromagnetic sources and tested the capability in directing the particles’ movement in different geometry patterns. Besides that, the creation of the self-rotation of individual magnetic particle clusters was achieved by using fast switching between magnetic fields. This self-rotation allows the possibility of cell apoptosis study to carry out. The system was constructed with four electromagnets integrated with a feedback control system and built to manipulate a droplet of commercially available iron (II, III) oxide nanoparticles to steer the magnetic droplet along different arbitrary trajectories (square, circle, triangle, slanted line) in 2-dimensional. Results: A dynamic magnetic field of 25 Hz was induced for magnetic nanoparticles rotational effect to observe the cell apoptosis. A profound outcome shows that the declining cell viability of the cell lines by 40% and the morphology of shrinking cells after the exposure of the dynamic magnetic field. Conclusion: The outcome from the pilot study gives an idea on the laboratory setup serves as a fundamental model for studying the electromagnetic field strength in applying mechanical force to target and to rotate for apoptosis on cancer cell line study.

The Difference

Bio-inspired functional surfaces attract many research interests due to the promising applications. In this paper, tunable adhesion of a bio-inspired micropillar arrayed surface actuated by a magnetic field is investigated theoretically in order to disclose the mechanical mechanism of changeable adhesion and the influencing factors. Each polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) micropillar reinforced by uniformly distributed magnetic particles is assumed to be a cantilever beam. The beam's large elastic deformation is obtained under an externally magnetic field. Specially, the rotation angle of the pillar's end is predicted, which shows an essential effect on the changeable adhesion of the micropillar arrayed surface. The larger the strength of the applied magnetic field, the larger the rotation angle of the pillar's end will be, yielding a decreasing adhesion force of the micropillar arrayed surface. The difference of adhesion force tuned by the applied magnetic field can be a few orders of magnitude, which leads to controllable adhesion of such a micropillar arrayed surface. Influences of each pillar's cross section shape, size, intervals between neighboring pillars, and the distribution pattern on the adhesion force are further analyzed. The theoretical predictions are qualitatively well consistent with the experimental measurements. The present theoretical results should be helpful not only for the understanding of mechanical mechanism of tunable adhesion of micropillar arrayed surface under a magnetic field but also for further precise and optimal design of such an adhesion-controllable bio-inspired surface in future practical applications.

Magneto Rheological

Magneto-rheological elastomer( MR elastomer) is an emerging intelligent material made up of macromolecule polymer and magnetic particles. While a promising wide application it has in the fields of warships vibration controlling for its controllable mechanical, electrical and magnetic properties by external magnetic field, design and application of devices based on it are facing great limitations imposed by its poor performance in mechanical properties and magneto effect. Aiming at developing a practical MR elastomer, a new confecting method was proposed in this paper. Then, following this new method and using a specificly designed solidifying matrix, an amido- polyester MR elastomer was developed with its mechanical property systemically explored.

Reported Data

Magnetorheological (MR) elastomers are composite materials consisting of magnetic particles in elastomer matrices, whose mechanical properties can be influenced by applying a magnetic field. Main parameters which determine the behavior of these smart materials are the concentration of the magnetic particles and the mechanical stiffness of the elastomer matrix. The viscoelastic properties of silicone-based MR elastomers are outlined in terms of their storage and loss moduli. The mechanical behavior of the material is also influenced by a magnetic field during the curing of the elastomer matrix, which leads to materials with anisotropic microstructures. The storage modulus of soft elastomer matrix composites can be increased in the presence of a magnetic field by significantly more than one order of magnitude or several hundreds of kPa. The relative increase exceeds that of all previously reported data. A shape memory effect, i. e. the deformation of an MR elastomer in a magnetic field and its return to original shape on cessasion of the magnetic field, is described.

Magnetorheological Suspensions

In this work we studied magnetorheological suspensions, which are produced by dispersion of magnetic particles in liquid polymer matrix, based on natural and synthetic rubber. Such suspensions are the raw materials for creation of new high-elastic magneto-controlled composite materials (magnitoelastics[1-4]). Processes of aggregation and structurization of magnetic particles in suspension are also examined. We discovered that motion of magnetic clusters in oligomer solution has interrupted character. Such behavior can be explained by interaction of magnetic clusters moving in not uniform magnetic field with polymer net fragments. Evaluation of polymer net’s elastic properties was calculated.
