Magneto-rheological elastomers (MREs) are smart materials in which the inherent stiffness and damping properties can be changed by the influence of an external magnetic field. The magneto-rheological (MR) effect depends on the orientation characteristics of the dispersed magneto-responsible particles (MRPs) in the matrix. In this study, natural rubber (NR) and ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) were blended and used as a matrix of an MRE. EPDM was pre-cured before blending with NR. The Mooney viscosity, curing characteristics, and mechanical properties were analyzed with various pre-curing conditions of EPDM and the NR/EPDM blend. The results show that excellent mechanical properties of the NR/EPDM blend-based MRE were obtained when the pre-curing time of EPDM was 60 min. The aging property of the NR-based MRE was improved by the introduction of pre-cured EPDM. Also, the anisotropic MRE showed a higher MR effect than that of the isotropic MRE.

Recently, in the field of automobile industry, to solve the problem of reducing the weight of automobile for the improvement of fuel efficiency and the protection of environment, the aluminum alloy parts have been substituted for the steel parts. However, the aluminum alloy does not have as good mechanical property as the steel part. To improve the mechanical property, the semi-solid die casting process is performed to make automobile parts. In the fabrication of semisolid material the control of the liquid segregation is very important to improve the material properties of aluminum alloy. In the present paper we examine the influence of the liquid segregation by the injection conditions in the semi-solid die casting has been investigated.

본 연구에서는 폴리프로필렌(PP)과 올레핀계 열가소성 엘라스토머(TPO)를 생분해성 고분자인 폴리카프로락톤(PCL)과 각각 블렌드할 경우 상용화제의 효과에 대하여 연구하였다. 본 연구에 사용한 TPO는 PP(80 wt%), EPDM(15 wt%) 그리고 Talc(5 wt%) 로 구성된 혼합체이며, 상용화제로는 maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene(PP-g-MAH)와 maleic anhydride grafted styrene-(ethylene-co-butene)-styrene copolymer(SEBS-g-MAH)를 사용하였다. PP/PCL 그리고 TPO/PCL 각각의 블렌드에서, PP-g-MAH 를 상용화제로 첨가한 경우 인장강도가 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 충격강도의 경우에는 rubber 를 포함하고 있는 SEBS-g-MAH를 상용화제로 사용하였을 때 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었다. PP/PCL 블렌드에 PP-g-MAH 상용화제를 첨가한 결과 PCL의 droplet 크기가 감소하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 유변물성 측정결과 상용화제 첨가에 따라 각각 블렌드에서 복합점도 변화가 작음을 알 수 있었는데 이것은 상용화제가 블렌드의 상용성 변화에 미치는 영향이 작아 용융점도에 미치는 영향이 미미하기 때문으로 사료된다. 요약하면, 블렌드의 기계적 물성, 모폴로지 및 유변학적 물성 측정 결과 PP/PCL과 TPO/PCL 각각의 블렌드에서 PP-g-MAH 상용화제는 PCL droplet 크기를 감소시켜 인장강도를 향상시키는 역할을 하였으며, SEBS-g-MAH 는 충격강도를 향상시키는 보강제로서의 역할을 하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The effects of zinc surfactant (ZB) on the bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)disulfide (TESPD)-silica mixture in natural rubber (NR) and solution butadiene-co-styrene rubber(S-SBR) were compared with respect to their rheological property, processability, physical properties, and silica dispersion. In the NR compound, addition of the ZB increased the reversion resistance time (T-2), the tensile modulus, and the BO time; however, lowered the viscosity, the HBU, and tans values. In the S-SBR copound, addition of the ZB increased the $tan{\delta}$ values while lowered the T-2, the tensile modulus the BO time, the viscosity, and the HBU of the compound. In the NR compounds, addition of the ZB significantly increased the processability and mechanical property. However, in the S-SBR compounds, it improved the processability the mechanical property was not improved.

MRE(Magneto-rheological Elastomer) is a material which shows reversible and various modulus in magnetic field. Comparing to conventional rubber vibration isolator, MREs are able to absorb broader frequency range of vibration. These characteristic phenomena result from the orientation of magnetic particle (i.e., chain-like formation) in rubber matrix. In this study, NR was used as a matrix in order to manufacture MREs. Magnetic reactive powder(MRP), having rapid magnetic reaction, was selected as a magnetic particle to give magnetic field reactive modulus. The mechanical properties of manufactured MREs were measured without the application of magnetic field. The results showed that the tensile property and resilience were decreased while the hardness was increased with the addition of CIP. The analysis of MR effect was carried out by FFT analyzer with various magnetic flux. As the addition of MRP and magnetic flux increased, increment of MR effect was observed.

This paper provides a new concept of the controllable micro damper using MR(Magneto Rheological)fluids. The damper is composed of four layers which are fabricated by wet etching. The Process of the fabrication is explained and the change of damping property is experimentally shown. Since the damping force is controllable by the applied magnetic field the vibration can be effectively absorbed.

공정조제의 성분 및 함량이 styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) 배합고무의 유변학적 특성과 기계적 물성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 공정조제로 지방산, 지방산 유도 금속염, 에스테르 알코올, 아미드 성분을 단독 혹은 혼합한 5종의 상용제품을 선택하였다. 공정조제 첨가에 따른 무니점도와 전단점도의 감소는 금속염이 주성분인 공정조제가 가장 컸고, 고분자량의 지방산 알콜이나 에스터의 함량이 높은 공정조제가 낮았다. 공정조제의 함량증가에 따라 인장 모듈러스는 감소하고, 발열은 증가하는 경향을 나타내었지만, 극한물성인 인장강도와 파단신장율에는 그다지 큰 영향을 미치지 않았다.

In this study, friction characteristics using elastomeric actuator with Magneto-rheological (MR) materials are identified. Typically, Magneto-rheological materials are divided into two groups by MR fluid in fluid state and MR elastomer in solid state like rubber. The stiffness characteristics of Magneto-rheological material can be changed as magnetic field is applied. MR fluid has been applied to various industry fields such as to brake, clutch, damper, engine mount and etc. However, MR fluid has been used under the sealed condition to prevent leaking issues. In order to overcome these problems, MR elastomer that has same property as MR fluid has been developed and studied. MR elastomer mainly consists of polymer material such as natural rubber or silicon rubber with particles that can be polarized with magnetic field. And it is called as a smart material since its stiffness and damping characteristics can be changed. In this study, MR elastomer is produced and pin-on-disc tests are carried out to identify the friction characteristics of the material. Several test conditions are applied to evaluate the feasibility to use as a smart actuator in the field of vibration control.

자기장 응답 입자를 효율적으로 배향시킬 수 있는 네오디뮴 자석이 삽입된 몰드가 제시되었다. 입자 배향 공정을 통해 이방성 자기유변 탄성체가 제조되었으며 입자의 최적 첨가량은 30 vol.% 였다. 입자 배향성이 증가할수록 자기유변 탄성체의 인장강도는 감소하고 경도는 증가하였다. FFT 분석기를 통해 측정된 최대 자기유변 특성은 30 vol.%의 자기장 응답 입자를 포함한 자기유변 탄성체에서 나타났으며 인가전류 3 A에서 최대 59%의 전단 모듈러스 변화율을 나타내었다. 또한 인가전류와 자기장 응답 입자의 첨가량이 증가할수록 자기유변 탄성체의 전달성은 감소하였고 흡수 주파수 영역은 증가하여 우수한 댐핑 특성을 나타내었다.
