Advances in Magnetorheological Suspension: Production and Properties

E-mail:
Magnetorheological suspensions (MRSs) are polyphasic fluids. They are made up of additives and magnetic particles dispersed in a carrier liquid. MRSs modify its fluidity in the magnetic field, a property which is used in vibration dampers and mechanical shocks, clutches etc. MRSs, together with electrorheological fluids (ERF), stand out as a material of great scientific and applicative importance. Every two years there takes place international conferences entitled “International Conference on ERF and MRSs”. The papers presented on these occasions stand out as an actual progress in MRSs obtaining, characterizing, modelling and applications. This paper proposes, without exhausting the approached theme, to present achievements and future perspectives concerning MRSs obtaining and mechanisms which make them be characterized by properties that are of interest for applications.
