Abstract

Magneto-rheological elastomers (MREs) were manufactured by incorporation of magnetic responsible powder (MRP) into natural rubber and silicone rubber. The optimum loading amounts of MRP was 30 vol.% and the natural rubber based MRE (NR-MRE) showed better mechanical property than that of silicone rubber based MRE (S-MRE). However, the modulus shift ratio caused by S-MRE, measured by Self-modified Electromagnet Applied Fast Fourier Transform Analyser (SEFFTA), was higher than that of NR-MRE. The modulus shift ratio caused by NR-MRE was 10%, while the modulus shift ratio caused by S-MRE was 35.7%. The modulus shift ratio could be improved by orienting the magnetic direction of MRP before crosslinking the MRE. The degree of orientation of MRP was analyzed using SEM.

천연고무와 실리콘고무에 자기장응답형 분말을(Magnetic Responsible Powder; MRP) 배합하여 자기장응답형 엘라스토머(Magneto-rheological Elastomer; MRE)를 제조하였다. MRP의 최적 사용량은 30 vol.% 였으며 천연고무 기반 MRE의 기계적 물성은 실리콘고무 기반 MRE 보다 우수했지만, magneto-rheological (MR) 효과는 실리콘고무 기반 MRE가 더욱 우수하였다. MR 효과는 Self-modified Electromagnet Applied Fast Fourier Transform Analyser (SEFFTA)를 사용하여 측정되었는데 천연고무 기반 MRE의 경우는 10%, 실리콘고무 기반 MRE의 경우는 최대 35.7%까지 나타내었다. 네오디뮴 자석을 이용하여 MRE를 경화시키기 전 MRP를 선 배향 시킬 경우 더욱 우수한 MR 효과를 얻을 수 있었으며, MRP의 배향은 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 분석하였다.
