“…For instance, a strong particle interaction, resulting from an increase in the magnetic field, can lead to the formation of large particle aggregates. The common matrix materials for MR elastomers include natural rubber, silicone rubber, polybutadiene, polyurethane (PU), and polyisobutylene rubber . On the basis of curing conditions, MR elastomers can be classified into isotropic and anisotropic .…”

“…For example, Figure (a) shows the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image of an isotropic MR elastomer (uniformly dispersed structure) and Figure (b) shows the SEM image of an anisotropic MR elastomer (chain‐like structure). Anisotropic MR elastomers are stiffer and possess superior damping properties compared to isotropic MR elastomers . These properties can be useful, depending on the application of the product.…”

Role of Additives in Enhancing the Rheological Properties of Magnetorheological Solids: A Review

et al. 2018

During the last two decades, magnetorheological (MR) materials have attracted a significant amount of attention because of their tremendous potential for engineering applications. This review focuses on the role of various additives in enhancing the magnetic field-dependent rheological characteristics of solid and thixotropic matrice-based MR materials (hereafter referred to as MR solids). Typically, MR solids consist of solid or semi-solid matrices filled with magnetizable particles. However, additives need to be used to improve their performance such as the MR effect. This parameter is typically determined by the field-dependent dynamic modulus. Three different groups of additives would be introduced in the review namely plasticizers, carbon-and chromiumbased additives. Compared to particles in the common matrix without a softener, those in matrices with additives which act as matrix softeners will be aligned easier during curing. In fact, the interfaces bonding between matrixparticles would be improved that subsequently enhanced the magnetically induced viscoelastic properties of MRE. In this review, the influences of several additives on the MR effect of various MR solids including MR elastomers, MR greases, and MR gels, which are recognized as efficient smart materials for practical applications in various engineering fields, are surveyed and discussed.

“…In addition, the use of coupling agents in natural fiber composites can improve fiber/matrix adhesion . Many researchers, therefore, have investigated the effect of adding coupling agents or using fiber surface treatments . For example, maleated polypropylene (MAPP) coupling agents and maleic anhydride (MAH)‐ grafted ‐poly(ethylene octane) compatibilizers increased the tensile, bending, and impact strengths of hemp fiber/polypropylene (PP) composites .…”

Influence of maleated polypropylene coupling agent on mechanical and thermal behavior of latania fiber‐reinforced PP/EPDM composites

et al. 2018

The influence of maleated polypropylene (MAPP) on the mechanical/thermal properties of short latania fiber‐reinforced poly(propylene)/ethylene‐propylene‐diene‐monomer (SLF/PP/EPDM) composites was investigated. Two different MAPP weight percentages (0 and 2wt%) and five different fiber weight contents (0, 5, 10, 20, and 30wt%) were considered, where the density of MAPP at the fiber surfaces progressively decreased. For a given fiber loading, addition of 2wt% MAPP led to roughly a 3–9% increase in tensile/flexural moduli and strengths over SLF/PP/EPDM composites with no MAPP. Moreover, composites containing MAPP displayed a profound improvement (37–78%) in impact energy absorption. In addition, composite heat deflection temperatures notably increased by 3–4°C with MAPP addition. Microscopic imaging suggested that matrix crazing, fiber pull‐out, and fiber fractures were key failure mechanisms. Hence, SLF/PP/EPDM composites modified with 2%wt MAPP may serve as a low cost alternative to other natural fiber thermoplastic composites. POLYM.

“…26 Khimi and Pickering studied the effect of a silane coupling agent on the dynamic mechanical properties of iron sand/natural rubber magnetorheological elastomers. 27 Chang et al found that bonding agents significantly improved the storage modulus which can be attributed to an enhanced interface between the wood and the high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Coupled products have better storage modulus retention at elevated temperatures than uncoupled samples.…”

Hybrid composites of polypropylene reinforced with glass fibers and basalt fibers were fabricated by vented injection molding machine which is named the direct fiber feeding injection molding (DFFIM) process. Polyamide 6 and maleic anhydride‐grafted polypropylene has been used as a coupling agent to improve the interfacial bonding between the fibers and matrix. Two types of vented injection molding machines with a different check ring and mold were used for making specimens. The fiber lengths were analyzed to identify the most suitable check ring and mold for the DFFIM process. The mechanical properties of the hybrid composites were investigated by tensile, flexural and Izod impact tests. The interfacial morphology of the fractured tensile specimens was studied by using scanning electron microscopy and showed that there is a fiber agglomeration phenomenon that occurs in the hybrid composites, and it has a significant effect on the mechanical properties of hybrid composites. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
