Preparation and Rheology of Magnetorheological Fluid Using Six Kinds of Fumed Silica as Stabilizing Additives

In this study, magnetorheological fluid (MRF) was prepared with several kinds of hydrophobic fumed silica in order to improve MRF stability while maintaining desirable fluidity. We conducted steady flow measurements and oil separation tests under gravity and centrifugal conditions. The linkage of fu...
