Latest Smart fluid Stories

Magnetorheological (MR) fluids are smart materials whose flow/viscosity properties can be modified by applying an electric field. These changes in viscosity occur within a fraction of a millisecond "“ far faster than conventional mechanical means "“ and can be used to effectively control vibrations in applications dealing with actuation, damping, robotics and mechatronics.In this study published in AZojomo*, researchers Jorge A. Cortés R., Leopoldo S. Villarreal-González and Manuel...
