Microrheology of magnetorheological silicone elastomers during curing process under the presence of magnetic field

A microrheological method is employed for the first time to continuously and undisturbedly monitor variations of viscoelasticity of magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) based on silica-coated carbonyl iron particles (SiCIPs)-filled silicone during the curing process. Re...
