In recent years, there has been an increased interest in the application of smart material technologies. The primary features of smart materials are the ability to provide multifunctional behaviour. Among smart materials technologies, magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) have been efficiently utilised in a variety of applications, especially in mechanical vibration engineering. In this paper, a brief review of past studies on the preparation methods, MRFs contents that contribute to the performance of MRFs as a smart material is conducted. The effect of particle size, shapes and also volume concentration is also discussed. This papers concludes with discussion on some current challenges and future prospect of MRFs.
